BRS-200
Remote Camera Operating Switcher Live Production and Presentation Switcher for HD or SD Systems
The BRS-200 switcher offers user-friendly operability and exquisite system flexibility for live productions and presentations. The BRS-200 can be used for either standard- definition (SD) or high-definition (HD) system configurations. The BRS-200 is an ideal tool for many applications, such as event and live staging, conferences, concerts, broadcast operations, and much more.
Note: Please note that users will need to select either SD-SDI or HD-SDI input.
Rich Selection of Inputs and Outputs
The BRS-200 system offers four SDI inputs/outputs and one DVI output as standard. When a different input configuration is required, a variety of optional boards are available, allowing users to configure the system exactly as required. With the addition of optional boards, the BRS-200 provides a maximum of eight SDI and one DVI-I inputs, and four SDI and two DVI-I outputs. With these multiple inputs and outputs, the BRS-200 enables image sources to be recorded on a recorder and to be played out, for example, on two monitors and one projector simultaneously.

Multi Viewing Function

The BRS-200 comes equipped with a multi viewing function, allowing a single monitor to display all input signals, PGM, and PVW via SDI and/or DVI-I outputs. This feature minimizes the number of displays required, and allows users to check all pictures at the same time on the same monitor. Users have a choice of sixteen, ten, or four split-screens depending
on the type of operation and the scale of the system.
Camera Remote Control Capability
The BRS-200 can also control the BRC Series cameras from a remote location. Pan/tilt/zoom, iris, and focus can all be controlled using its joystick and dials. This versatile functionality helps contribute to a highly efficient one-man operation.
Tally indicators are available: red frame for PGM out, amber
square for PVW out, and blue square for controlled camera.
