Installation guide

• Networked Still and Clip Server. Imagine hours of video storage, virtually unlimited
stills, and animations all playing out with their companion key channels. Next,
combine live video and key capture with Ethernet drag and drop capability, and you
have the perfect marriage of video and networkability. Even better, this solution
comes bundled with Synergy’s powerful Video Server Control.
• VTR Control. Select a VTR on the PST bus, display its current time code on the
preview monitor, roll it from the transition area, and take it to air. Fast forward,
rewind, and cue to time code are also available at the touch of a button on the control
panel. An “Auto roll” feature ensures that any connected VTR is always rolling when
you take it to air.
• Video Server Control. Select, play, and monitor server clips by name right from the
Synergy 1 control panel. The clip menu keeps track of clips and allows instant recall
and cue.
• Audio Server Control. Controls the DigiCart

audio server. Dial up the desired clip
and see the name and duration. Use a Custom Control macro button to link audio
clips to a switcher or DVE transition.
• Router Control. Synergy 1 can connect to several different routers, and even several
different brands of routers, simultaneously. Any number of the 16 inputs can be
assigned as a router input, and setup is fast and easy with our router control menu.
• Serial Tally Interface. This option enables Serial Tally Interface using industry
standard protocols to Under Monitor Display and Tally Systems.
• Peripheral Bus II Interface. This option provides support for Thompson GVG
Peripheral Bus II Protocol for external device integration. Coordinate the store and
recall of the settings of some still stores, CGs, and device controllers with the store and
recall of your Synergy 1 settings.
• Still Store (Aprisa
∗
) Interface. Access any still or clip on your Chyron Aprisa
directly, through any of Synergy 1’s serial ports.
• Audio Mixer Interface. There are two options available, depending on the number of
inputs on your audio mixer. Large or small mixers can be controlled serially from
your Synergy 1 panel, making an integrated A/V production possible.
• Robotic Camera System Interface. Pan, tilt, zoom, and more, directly from your
Synergy 1 control panel.
• Custom Control Macro Buttons. 24 macro buttons (shiftable to 128) have been
positioned close to the operator for powerful single touch control. Recall any
combination of switcher memories, button pushes, and external device control as part
of a timeline.
• Editable Custom Controls. Custom Control macros can now be viewed and edited
directly on the switcher menu. This versatile and time saving feature displays the
contents of the Custom Control and allows complete editing capabilities.
