Description  
This unit is a single-ME digital video switcher which supports multiple HD and SD formats. While featuring  
compact dimensions, it can optionally support HD analog component inputs (5) in addition to the five SDI inputs  
and one DVI-I input. Since a frame synchronizer is incorporated for each of the inputs, signals can be switched  
without “shocking” or “freezing” non-synchronized video signals. Furthermore, the images created by a PC can be  
imported via Ethernet.  
Features  
Six inputs, three outputs supported despite its compact size  
The standard configuration consists of six inputs (five SDI inputs and one DVI-I input) and three SDI outputs  
(PGM, PVW and AUX). Optionally, the unit is also capable of supporting HD analog component inputs (5).  
The SDI inputs support active through outputs. Key inputs can be selected from the six video inputs for use.  
Multiple formats supported  
HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720/59.94p and 720/50p), SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i) and DVI-I  
(input only) are supported as the signal formats.  
Frame synchronizer system and external sync system supported  
The unit contains a high-performance 10-bit frame synchronizer to enable non-synchronized images to be  
input. By using the BB signal output, a system can be configured using the switcher’s sync signals as a  
reference. Gen-lock is also possible with external sync signals (BB or TRI signals).  
Built-in effects and key combination functions  
The unit provides nine different waveform patterns as wipe patterns to add borders or soft effects.  
Key combination supports self keys and linear keys, and key inversion is also possible.  
Ethernet and control interfaces supported  
The unit can import images created on a PC into its frame memory over Ethernet (100 Mbps or 10 Mbps) and  
use them as background images or key input signals.  
External control using RS-422 or GPI signals is also supported. In addition, the unit comes with six tally  
outputs.  
External power supply system  
The unit is powered by an external DC 12 V power supply so it can be used not only indoors but in the field as  
well. (However, the unit is not constructed to be rain-proof or drip-proof so keep it away from rain or moisture.)  
Easy operability  
The simple panel layout which enables the functions to be operated directly enables speedy live transmissions.  
Preset-like operations can be performed on the LCD panel using a menu-driven format.

Appendix (glossary)  
Defined below are the terms used in this manual.  
Word  
Explanation  
AB Bus  
AB Bus system  
A bus control mode. By executing a transition, the A bus and B bus signals are  
output to the program images alternately.  
Ancillary Data  
The auxiliary data other than the video signals which is transmitted inside the  
data stream of the video serial interface. The data superimposed on the vertical  
blanking period is referred to as the V ancillary data (VANC).  
Aspect ratio  
The ratio between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an image or screen.  
It is 16:9 for the HD format and 4:3 for the SD format.  
AUX  
[Auxiliary Bus]  
A spare bus which can be switched by signals other than the main line output  
signals.  
AVDL  
A function to automatically adjust the input image signal phase to the horizontal  
[Automatic Video Delayline] synchronization reference signal phase.  
Automatic phase adjustment  
BB  
The black burst signal. A full-screen black level composite signal which is used  
Black burst  
as the reference signal for gen-lock.  
Border  
The area or margin that is added to the edge of a wipe or key.  
Its width and color can be adjusted. The defocusing of the area around a border  
is referred to as the soft effect.  
Clip  
The threshold level of the luminance when key signals are created from a key  
source.  
Color Background  
The signals which are output from the internal color generator and used as the  
background image.  
Density  
A parameter which is used to adjust the density of the key signals.  
DVI [Digital Visual Interface] A digital video interface standard.  
DVI-I can handle both digital signals and analog signals.  
Ethernet  
A computer network standard; the 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), 100BASE-TX (100  
Mbps) or other such standard based on the transmission speed.  
Flip Flop system  
A bus control mode. The signals selected by the program bus are always output  
as the program images. By executing a transition, the program bus and preset  
bus signals are switched over.  
Frame Memory  
A memory which can hold the video signals equivalent to one frame.  
Frame Synchronizer  
A function which enables the non-synchronized video signal input to be  
switched.  
Freeze  
Gain  
A function which continues the display of the same image, creating the  
impression that the image has been “frozen”.  
A parameter which adjusts the defocusing of the edges of the key signals.

Appendix (glossary)  
Word  
Explanation  
Genlock  
A function for synchronizing the video signals using an external sync signal as  
the reference.  
GPI  
Interface signals which control auto transition from an external source.  
[General Purpose Interface]  
IRE  
A unit used for video signal levels.  
The setup level (black level) of the signals is expressed as 0 IRE, 7.5 IRE, etc.  
Hue  
The color tone of the video signals.  
Key Edge  
Key Fill  
The border or shadow added to the edges of keys.  
The signal that uses key combination processing to fill in the areas left blank by  
the key signals.  
Key Inversion  
Key Source  
Linear Key  
A function which inverts the key signals.  
The video signals for creating the key signals.  
The function which combines keys using monochrome key signals with  
gradations in its outlines as a reference.  
Lum  
The brightness portion of the video signals.  
[Luminance]  
Luminance Key  
The function which creates key signals based on the luminance (brightness)  
information of the video signals to combine keys.  
ME  
[Mix Effect]  
A video effect device which combines a number of video signals to create mix,  
wipe, key and other video signals.  
Mix  
The picture-changing effect produced by overlapping one image with the next.  
It is also referred to as “dissolve”.  
Preview  
The function for checking ahead of time the image which will be output after the  
next transition. The image is output from the PVW system.  
Program Bus  
Preset Bus  
The bus which always carries the program output signals.  
The bus which carries the program output signals after the next background  
transition.  
Preset Memory  
RS-422  
The memory in which the control panel statuses can be saved and recalled.  
The switch selection statuses as well as the border, color and other setting  
information can be saved in this memory.  
A serial interface standard. It is the interface used to control the switcher from  
an editor or other external device.  
Sat  
This refers to the intensity of the color of video signals.  
[Saturation]

Explanation  
SDI  
The standard by which video signals in various SD and HD formats are  
transmitted along a single coaxial cable.  
[Serial Digital Interface]  
Self Key  
Tally  
A function that creates key signals from key fill signals for combining keys.  
The signal which outputs the program output statuses of the input signals to an  
external device. The LED that indicates the program output status on the control  
panel is also referred to as tally.  
Transition  
A function that switches from one image to another.  
Wipe, mix and other effects are available for the images during switching.  
Tri Sync  
Wipe  
The sync signal used for HD formats. It is also referred to as tri-level sync.  
A video effect in which one image is gradually replaced by another as the  
boundary between the two is moved using a preselected pattern.
