Here is a powerful, versatile and affordable switcher, great for small live productions, church presentations, school sports, corporate events, weddings, fly packs, music videos, conferencing and more.

    Multi-Viewing Function
    Boasts a multi-viewing function, enabling one monitor to display all input signals, PGM and PVW, AUX1 PGM and PVW, AUX2 PGM and PVW using SDI and / or DVI-D outputs. The multi-viewing video signal is output from SDI and DVI-D at the same time. There are 4-screen and 10-screen layouts assignable. Check sources on the same monitor simultaneously. The sub-screen with a red frame contains the video presently on air.
    Video Inputs
    Features 4x HD SDI inputs, 3x HDMI inputs, 1x DVI-I input and 1x DVI-D output in high definition (HD) Mode (1920 x 1080 DVI resolution). In standard definition (SD) mode, 4x SD SDI inputs, 3x Composite inputs and 1x DVI-I input (analog only, up to 1280 x 1024 WXGA resolution) are available
    Video Outputs
    There are 4x HD SDI outputs in HD Mode, which are used as AUX outputs. For every AUX out, one of the signals can be assigned from PGM, PVW, AUX1 PGM, AUX1 PVW, AUX2 PGM, AUX2 PVW or MV. You also have 2x DVI-I out, for use as AUX and MV. In SD Mode, you've got 4x SD SDI outputs, which are used as AUX outputs. For every AUX out, one of the signals can be assigned from PGM, PVW, AUX1 PGM, AUX1 PVW, AUX2 PGM, AUX2 PVW or MV. There are also 2x DVI-D out, for use as AUX and MV, and 1x Composite out, which is used as AUX
    SDI Embedded Audio
    All HD / SD SDI inputs and outputs (PGM, AUX1, AUX2 and Multi Viewer) feature embedded audio
    Built-In 6-Channel Audio Mixing Function
    The integrated 6-channel audio mixing function features audio delay adjustment for lip synchronization. Mixing is assignable from any input
    Creative AUX MIX Function
    AUX1 and AUX2 are usable as secondary PGM out with AUX MIX function. This enables you to create a mix transition from the program video to the next source, such as a camera input. Additionally, you are able to prepare program video via adjustment of parameters like effects and keys prior to the video being switched, then create a mix transition from an input source (assigned to AUX1 PVW or AUX2 PVW) to the prepared video. Performance is comparable to that of integrating an extra M / E row, and mix capability is available for both AUX1 and AUX2 outputs. This versatility enables you to select the AUX MIX function or 3 separate program outs and apply them to a broad array of system configurations and applications. Presentation example: Program out for speaker, AUX1 and AUX2 for PC sources and Video source. Live news: Switching Studio and Video feeds from Field via AUX MIX
    3D Mode
    In 3D Mode, CUT or MIX functions are available to you in the form of background transitions or right- and left-eye signals. You can output 3D images as side-by-side signals
    Import Still Image Function Via USB
    Enjoy the ability to import TIFF / TGA images with alpha channels and BMP images from USB memory, via a USB port
    Input Freeze Function For Every Source
    Freeze-video is assignable to any cross point for use as a video input signal. You can export it from a USB port
    Snapshot Function
    Enables you to save effect and key configurations for a particular scene, so you can quickly recall settings when you need them. Save as many as 20 snapshots
    Frame Memory System
    Single-channel frame memory, with up to 12 still images capable of being stored
    Preset Effect Buttons
    Ten effect patterns are pre-assigned to the numeric buttons (0 to 9). These buttons simplify the application of effects to video
    Effect Patterns
