It can manage up to (8) inputs and (8) outputs. The unit comes ready for use with most HD cameras. Analog component and DVI inputs are also supported as an option. Each input features a 10-bit frame synchronizer that makes asynchronous video signal inputs possible. A built-in up-converter on the option board is capable of mixing both HD and SD signals. Multi-view display of PGM, PVW, and input video on a single monitor is also possible to reduce your total cost of ownership. Other features include selectable split numbers (4, 8, or 10) with selectable video image for each split area, still image file transfer by SD memory card, and various video effects (wipes, DVE, keys, chroma key, DSK, and picture-in-picture). Preset function keys facilitate management of the unit. Embedded audio is available on the auxiliary bus. Moreover, (8) tally outputs and an RS422 interface are standard features.
