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.
Incorporated in the switcher’s inputs are a frame synchronizer, up-converter and color corrector.
When the option boards are installed, a wider variety of input/output formats including analog composite, analog
component and DVI can be accommodated so that systems can be constructed flexibly.

Features
Compact design, wide variety of input/output signals
The mainframe, despite its compact dimensions of 2RU, comes with a wide variety of input/output facilities in
the standard configuration.
As input facilities, a total of 16 HD/SD-SDI signal lines are supported under the standard specifications, and a
frame synchronizer is incorporated for all the inputs. Also incorporated are four up-converter signal lines and
eight color corrector signal lines.
The output facilities include four HD/SD-SDI signal lines and two DVI-D signal lines under the standard
specifications.

Two option slots each for input/output applications are provided.
When two option boards for input applications are installed, the maximum number of input signal lines can be
expanded to 20; similarly, when two option boards for output applications are installed, the maximum number of
output signal lines can be increased to 10.

Multi view display function
Two multi view display function lines are provided under the standard specifications.
It is possible to divide up to 20 lines of video including program video (PGM), preview video (PVW) and input
video signals between two screens and display them at the same time on two monitors.
video signals between two screens and display them at the same time on two monitors.
Frame synchronizer system and external synchronization system supported
A high-performance 10-bit frame synchronizer is incorporated for all the inputs so that asynchronous video
signals can be input. By using the black burst (BB) output, it is possible to construct a system referenced to the
synchronization of the switcher.
synchronization of the switcher.
A genlock function is provided so that external synchronization systems using external sync signals (BB or TRI
signals) as a reference are also supported.
