Example Configurations


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.



Multi-Screen Solutions


Two independent outputs enable powerful multi-screen video productions.
*In DUAL Mode, PinP, Key, DSK, External Control are not available. Video transitions available are CUT and Mix (Fade In/Out).



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. Video transitions are CUT and Mix (Fade In/Out).



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. Video transitions available are CUT and Mix (Fade In/Out).
