Description This is a 1 ME digital video switcher which supports a multiple number of HD and SD formats. Despite its compact dimensions, the video switcher comes standard with 4 input connectors and can support 8 input connectors when an option board is used. It also has a multi view display function that allows split-screen display with up to 10 screens.
Precautions for use Handle carefully. Do not drop the product, or subject it to strong shock or vibration. Do not carry or move the product by the fader lever. This is important to prevent trouble. Use the product in an ambient temperature of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C). Avoid using the product at a cold place below 32 °F (0 °C) or at a hot place above 104 °F (40 °C) because extremely low or high temperature will adversely affect the parts inside.

Appendix (glossary) Defined below are the terms used in this manual. Word Explanation 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).
Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation Frame Memory A memory which can hold the video signals equivalent to one frame. Frame Synchronizer A function which matches the synchronization of non-synchronized video input signals. Freeze A function which continues the display of the same image, creating the impression that the image has been “frozen”. FTB [Fade to Black] This is the effect where the background image is faded out to the black screen.
Appendix (glossary) Word Explanation PVW [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. PGM [Program Bus] The bus which always carries the program output signals. PST [Preset Bus] The bus which carries the program output signals after the next background transition. Preset Memory The memory in which the control panel statuses can be saved and recalled.
