Description
This unit is a 1ME digital video switcher which supports multiple HD and SD formats. While featuring compact
dimensions, it can optionally support HD analog component inputs (5) in addition to the five SDI inputs and one
DVI-I input. Since a frame synchronizer is incorporated for each of the inputs, asynchronous video signals can be
switched without “shocking” or “freezing”. Furthermore, the images created by a PC can be captured via Ethernet.

Multiple formats supported
HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 70/59.94p and 70/50p), SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i) and DVI-I
HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 70/59.94p and 70/50p), SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i) and DVI-I
(input only) are supported as the signal formats.
Frame synchronizer system as well as external sync system is supported
The unit contains a high-performance 10-bit frame synchronizer to enable asynchronous images to be input.

By using the BB (Black Burst) signal output, a system can be configured using the switcher’s sync signals as a
reference.
Gen-lock is also possible with external sync signals (BB or Tri-level Sync).

The unit can capture images created on a PC into its frame memory over Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10 Mbps) and
use them as background images or key input signals.
External control using RS-4 or GPI signals is also supported. In addition, the unit comes with six tally
outputs.

The unit is powered by an external DC 1 V power supply so it can be used not only indoors but in the field as
well. (However, the unit is not constructed to be rain-proof or drip-proof so keep it away from rain or moisture.)
Easy operability
The simple panel layout which enables the functions to be operated directly enables speedy live transmissions.
