Features

Compact design, wide variety of input/output signals

ppHD/SD-SDI input and output signals are supported as a standard option, and a frame synchronizer (FS) is incorporated for all inputs. In addition, there are four up-converter (UC) lines and eight video process lines.

ppThe unit is provided with two option slots for input/output applications. When an option board designed for input applications is installed, the number of input lines can be extended up to 13; similarly, when an option board designed for output applications is installed, the number of output lines can be extended up to 10.

Multiple formats supported

ppThe signal formats listed below are supported.

HD format:

SD format:

1080/59.94i, 1080/50i,

480/59.94i, 576/50i,

1080/24PsF1, 1080/23.98PsF1,

DVI2

720/59.94p, 720/50p

 

 

 

1: The following option boards are not supported:

AV-HS04M1, AV-HS04M2, AV-HS04M3, AV-HS04M4, AV-HS04M5, AV-HS04M6, AV-HS04M7

2: The standard DVI-D IN connector and DVI-D OUT connector support the input and output of DVI-D signals.

The AV-HS04M3 board supports the input of DVI-I signals.

The AV-HS04M5 board supports the output of DVI-I signals.

The AV-HS04M8 board supports the input of DVI-D signals.

Frame synchronizer system

ppA frame synchronizer is incorporated for each of the inputs so that asynchronous video signals can be selected with

no accompanying shocks.

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

4-channel up-converter, 8-channel Dot by Dot function and 8-channel video process function

ppAn up-converter is incorporated in SDI IN 5 to SDI IN 8. pp A Dot by Dot function is incorporated for all the SDI input

connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 8).

By using this function and the PinP function together, SD materials can be embedded in HD images with no deterioration in the image quality.

pp The video process function is incorporated in all the SDI input connectors (SDI IN 1 to SDI IN 8) to make it possible to adjust the colors at the input stage of the switcher.

Sophisticated multi view display function

ppOne channel is provided for the multi view display function. The user can select whether the screen is to be split into

16, 10, 9, 6, 5 or 4 sections.

ppMaterials such as PGM, PVW and AUX as well as a clock can be allocated to the split screens in addition to the input materials.

ppThe level of the embedded audio signals superimposed on the SDI input signals can be displayed.

Many different effect functions incorporated

ppAlong with the standard wipe, mix and cut functions, the

switcher can provide size reduction, slide and other DVE transitions.

ppAny of the following keys can be selected as the keyers.

Linear key, luminance key, chroma key

One DSK line is also provided as a keyer.

ppThe unit is equipped with two PinP lines and four AUX bus lines.

Not only cut but mix transitions can be selected as the bus transition function (effects produced by switching the materials using the PinP and AUX buses).

(AUX1 only for AUX bus)

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.

Recording and playback of video memory data (2 systems: still images and movie clips) with key signals attached possible

ppThe still images (STILL) and movie clips (CLIP) stored in

the video memory can be selected as the bus materials.

ppMovie clips with two lines of key signals attached can be recorded and played back.

(Up to 10 seconds/600 frames when the 59.94i system is

used)

ppStill images and movie clips can be sent from memory cards to the video memories.
