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.

Multiple formats supported

The signal formats supported include HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/24PsF 1, 1080/23.98PsF 1, 720/59.94p and 720/50p), SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i) and DVI 2.

1: The following option boards are not supported:

AV-HS04M1, AV-HS04M2, AV-HS04M3, AV-HS04M4, AV-HS04M5,

2: The standard DVI output is the DVI-D signal output.

The AV-HS04M3 option board supports DVI-I signal input, the AV-HS04M8 option board supports DVI-D signal input, and the AV-HS04M5 supports DVI-I signal output.

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.

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.

A genlock function is provided so that external synchronization systems using external sync signals (BB or TRI signals) as a reference are also supported.

7

Features

Many different effect functions incorporated

Along with the standard wipe, mix and cut functions, the switcher can provide size reduction, slide and other DVE transitions.

DVE transitions using the 2-screen push-out effect and other 2-channel functions are possible.

The unit comes with luminance keys and chroma keys provided as keyers as well as specialized hardware in the form of two DSK lines and two PinP lines as a standard option.

AUX1 is equipped with a mix transition function.

This enables MIX transitions with the material selected next, allowing for a flexible system construction.

High-quality chroma keys using Primatte® algorithms

The Primatte® algorithm, which has proven to be very popular in many non-linear editors as a plug-in software, has been put to practical use in a linear editing system for the chroma keys. High chroma key image quality can be achieved through some simple operations.

1-3. How to install the option boards

The option boards are installed in the mainframe.

For details, refer to the operating instructions of the option board concerned.

Notes

Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to do the job of installing or removing the option boards.

Before installing or removing an option board, turn off the power, and disconnect the power plug.

Before coming into physical contact with the option board, touch your hand to metal that has been grounded to discharge the static electricity in your body.

A safe way to proceed is to wear an anti-static wrist strap.

The option board may be damaged if you touch the board with static still in your body.

Avoid damage to the option board by not dropping it or subjecting it to strong shocks or vibrations.

After removing an option board, be absolutely sure to attach the blank panel.

When installing or removing an option board, take care not to hurt yourself on the edges or metal parts of the board.

Turn off the power of the mainframe, and disconnect the power cord.

Loosen the two screws of SLOT A or SLOT B at the back of the mainframe, and remove the blank panel.
