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.

Features

Six inputs, three outputs supported despite its compact size The standard configuration consists of six inputs (five SDI inputs and one DVI-I input) and three outputs of PGM, PVW and AUX (SDI, HD analog component). Optionally, the unit is also capable of supporting HD analog component inputs (5). The SDI inputs support active through outputs. Key inputs can be selected from the six video inputs for use. Multiple formats supported formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720/59.94p and 720/50p), SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i) and DVI-I HD (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 switchers sync signals as a reference. Genlock is also possible with external sync signals (BB or Tri-level Sync). Built-in effects and key combination functions The unit provides nine different wipe patterns to add borders or soft effects. Key combination supports self keys and linear keys, and key invert is also possible. Ethernet and control interfaces supported 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-422 or GPI signals is also supported. In addition, the unit comes with six tally outputs. External power supply system The unit is powered by an external DC 12 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. Preset-like operations can be performed using a menu-driven format.

Appendix (glossary)

Defined below are the terms used in this manual. Word AB Bus system Ancillary Data Explanation A bus control mode. By executing a transition, the A bus and B bus signals are output to the program images alternately. 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). The ratio between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an image or screen. It is 16:9 for the HD format and 4:3 for the SD format. A spare bus which can be switched by signals other than the main line output signals. A function to automatically adjust the input image signal phase to the horizontal synchronization reference signal phase. The black burst signal. A full-screen black level composite signal which is used as the reference signal for gen-lock. The area or margin that is added to the edge of a wipe or key. Its width and color can be adjusted. The defocusing of the area around a border is referred to as the soft effect. The threshold level of the luminance when key signals are created from a key source. The signals which are output from the internal color generator and used as the background image. A parameter which is used to adjust the density of the key signals. A digital video interface standard. DVI-I can handle both digital signals and analog signals. A computer network standard; the 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), 100BASE-TX (100Mbps) or other such standard based on the transmission speed. A bus control mode. The signals selected by the program bus are always output as the program images. By executing a transition, the program bus and preset bus signals are switched over. A memory which can hold the video signals equivalent to one frame. A function which enables the asynchronous video signal input to be switched. A function which continues the display of the same image, creating the impression that the image has been frozen. A parameter which adjusts the defocusing of the edges of the key signals.
