An all-in-one multi-channel, multi-format live video switcher

Event Production
Various video sources can be mixed seamlessly without external video converters.

Studio Production
Text/Graphics from a PC/Mac can be composited on background video content. HD outputs are available for display, recording, or broadcasting. In DSK mode, outputs are the same format.
Multi-Zoom
Using the thru out connectors, one video input can be daisy-chained to multiple inputs. The scaler for each input can zoom into any position in the video image enabling a virtual multi-camera environment. This gives the appearance that you have additional cameras.

Two independent outputs enable powerful multi-screen video productions.
*In DUAL Mode, PinP, Key, DSK, External Control are not available. Transition effects cannot be applied.
When [CUT] is selected, a black screen is inserted momentarily at the time of transition. When [MIX]
is selected, a black screen is inserted and a fade-in or fade-out occurs.

Multi-Screen with Edge Blending
Displays a single image across two screens. Edge Blending function enables seamless image across a wide screen.
*In SPAN Mode, PinP, Key, DSK, External Control are not available. Transition effects cannot be applied.
When [CUT] is selected, a black screen is inserted momentarily at the time of transition. When [MIX]
is selected, a black screen is inserted and a fade-in or fade-out occurs.

DUAL Mode
Using the DUAL Mode, two video inputs can be switched individually. Switching both inputs at same time is also possible. Preview monitoring of each output enables confident operation.
*In DUAL Mode, PinP, Key, DSK, External Control are not available. Transition effects cannot be applied.
When [CUT] is selected, a black screen is inserted momentarily at the time of transition. When [MIX]
is selected, a black screen is inserted and a fade-in or fade-out occurs.

SPLIT Mode
Using SPLIT Mode, two video inputs can be displayed on one display. This is useful for comparing two videos on a single screen.
*In SPLIT Mode, PinP, Key, DSK, External Control are not available. Transition effects cannot be applied.
When [CUT] is selected, a black screen is inserted momentarily at the time of transition. When [MIX]
is selected, a black screen is inserted and a fade-in or fade-out occurs.
