Version 2.0 software for the V-440HD Multi-Format Video Mixer adds 20 new features that enable further operational benefits.

PGM/PST mode has been added as an operational mode. Select the input channel you like to next on PST side. The image is output on Preview monitor. Just press AUTO button to send the signal to Program output.

Optional automatic input disable
The version 2.0 software can disable the input selector where no input signal is detected. This will avoid accidental selection of a blank input.

Custom color selection for channel buttons
You can now choose from a variety of colors to backlight the LED input selectors to customize the V-440HD to personal preference.

Auto detection of RGB input format and wider selection of RGB output
The RGB inputs formats will now be detected automatically. This enables rapid switching of multiple computers to one input.

1366x768 (WXGA) resolution is now supported as an output format enabling high quality native support of most mid-sized LCD panels. 1366x768 is the most common native resolution for LCD panels 32” and smaller.

The aspect ratio of PinP foreground image (HD/RGB) can be set to 4:3 or 16:9 regardless of the aspect ratio of the source image.
