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


diagram_studio
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.


diagram_multizoom
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.


Multi-Screen Solutions

diagram_idependent
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.

diagram_edgeblend
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]

diagram_split
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.

 

questions about products
- hi, i would like to ask how can i make a multi-zoom by using RGB(Y/Pb/Pr)-inputs? using my CANON CAMCORDER XA10 HD. please help me with this problem. thank you very much.
Yes, it is possible with RGB/Component (Y/Pb/Pr) inputs as well. You just need to connect an RGB-to-Component cable from the Component thru connector to the following Component input; then you can zoom in and change the horizontal and vertical position according to your needs, so you can set the second input channel as a second "virtual" camera.
