Quick Start Guide

8 universal inputs comprised of 5 BNCs, each of which can accommodate a composite video, s-Video (Y/C), component video (RGB/YUV), RGBS, or RGBHV signal. Inputs 1 and 2 also can be configured to HDMI inputs. Perfect for live mixing where both video and computer sources are present.

• True Seamless Switching with FX - With the incorporation of two scalers, the unit can switch absolutely seamlessly between 2 live sources. Transitions include cut and fade plus numerous other effects each with multiple variations and speeds.
• K-IIT™ Picture-in-Picture Image Insertion Technology - Ultra stable picture-in-picture image insertion capability. Any video source can be inserted into a computer graphics video source and vice versa with positioning and sizing controls available to the user. A unique Split-Screen mode is also available.
• Second set of outputs can be used for preview
• Text Overlay
• HDTV Output Resolutions - 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p in component format on all output connectors.
• Multi-Standard - PAL, SECAM & NTSC (3.58/4.43)
• Multiple Aspect Ratio Selections - 4x3 or 16x9, anamorphic, letter box, and user definable settings
• Built-in Proc-Amp - Color, hue, sharpness, contrast, and brightness are set individually for each input.
• HDCP Compliant - The HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) license agreement allows copy-protected data on the HDMI input to pass only to the HDMI output.
