Description This is a 1 ME digital video switcher which supports a multiple number of HD and SD formats. It consists of a mainframe and control panel. Despite its compact dimensions of 2RU, the mainframe comes with 16 inputs and four outputs for SDI under the standard specifications. It also supports two DVI outputs, and its video effects of one key line, two DSK lines, two PinP lines, two DVE (BKGD) lines, one DVE (key) line and two multi view lines enable video productions in a wide variety of forms.
Features Many different effect functions incorporated Along with the standard wipe, mix and cut functions, the switcher can provide size reduction, slide and other DVE transitions. DVE transitions using the 2-screen push-out effect and other 2-channel functions are possible. The unit comes with luminance keys and chroma keys provided as keyers as well as specialized hardware in the form of two DSK lines and two PinP lines as a standard option. AUX1 is equipped with a mix transition function.

Appendix (glossary) Defined below are the terms used in this manual. Word Explanation AB Bus system A bus control mode. By executing a transition, the A bus and B bus signals are output to the program images alternately. Ancillary Data The auxiliary data other than the video signals which is transmitted inside the data stream of the video serial interface. The data superimposed on the vertical blanking period is referred to as the V ancillary data (VANC).
Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation Frame Memory A memory which can hold the video signals equivalent to one frame. Frame Synchronizer A function which matches the synchronization of non-synchronized video input signals. Freeze A function which continues the display of the same image, creating the impression that the image has been “frozen”. FTB [Fade to Black] This is the effect where the background image is faded out to the black screen.
Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation PVW [Preview] The function for checking ahead of time the image which will be output after the next transition. The image is output from the PVW system. PGM [Program Bus] The bus which always carries the program output signals. PST [Preset Bus] The bus which carries the program output signals after the next background transition. Preset Memory The memory in which the control panel statuses can be saved and recalled.
