Multi-Viewing Function Boasts a multi-viewing function, enabling one monitor to display all input signals, PGM and PVW, AUX1 PGM and PVW, AUX2 PGM and PVW using SDI and / or DVI-D outputs. The multi-viewing video signal is output from SDI and DVI-D at the same time. There are 4-screen and 10-screen layouts assignable. Check sources on the same monitor simultaneously. The sub-screen with a red frame contains the video presently on air. Video Inputs Features 4x HD SDI inputs, 3x HDMI inputs, 1x DVI-I input and 1x DVI-D output in high definition (HD) Mode (1920 x 1080 DVI resolution). In standard definition (SD) mode, 4x SD SDI inputs, 3x Composite inputs and 1x DVI-I input (analog only, up to 1280 x 1024 WXGA resolution) are available Video Outputs There are 4x HD SDI outputs in HD Mode, which are used as AUX outputs. For every AUX out, one of the signals can be assigned from PGM, PVW, AUX1 PGM, AUX1 PVW, AUX2 PGM, AUX2 PVW or MV. You also have 2x DVI-I out, for use as AUX and MV. In SD Mode, you've got 4x SD SDI outputs, which are used as AUX outputs. For every AUX out, one of the signals can be assigned from PGM, PVW, AUX1 PGM, AUX1 PVW, AUX2 PGM, AUX2 PVW or MV. There are also 2x DVI-D out, for use as AUX and MV, and 1x Composite out, which is used as AUX SDI Embedded Audio All HD / SD SDI inputs and outputs (PGM, AUX1, AUX2 and Multi Viewer) feature embedded audio Built-In 6-Channel Audio Mixing Function The integrated 6-channel audio mixing function features audio delay adjustment for lip synchronization. Mixing is assignable from any input Creative AUX MIX Function AUX1 and AUX2 are usable as secondary PGM out with AUX MIX function. This enables you to create a mix transition from the program video to the next source, such as a camera input. Additionally, you are able to prepare program video via adjustment of parameters like effects and keys prior to the video being switched, then create a mix transition from an input source (assigned to AUX1 PVW or AUX2 PVW) to the prepared video. Performance is comparable to that of integrating an extra M / E row, and mix capability is available for both AUX1 and AUX2 outputs. This versatility enables you to select the AUX MIX function or 3 separate program outs and apply them to a broad array of system configurations and applications. Presentation example: Program out for speaker, AUX1 and AUX2 for PC sources and Video source.
