Product Overview
Thank you for considering the purchase of a Synergy 2 SD Digital Production Switcher.
Ross Video has designed and manufactured production switchers for over thirty years. We
hope that you join the many thousands of satisfied video professionals around the world that
are proud owners of Ross Production Switchers. Ross has been known for innovation in
production switcher technology and has had many industry firsts, including such patented
technology as Soft Edge Borders and Transition Preview, which have become industry
standard features. As you read through this Ordering Guide, you will discover that Ross has
again broken new ground with our Synergy SD Series …
Designed for Live!
Ross Video developed the Synergy series of digital production switchers for live news, live
sports, and live production. Because the switcher is the center of the action, it is important
that it be powerful and versatile yet maintain its ease of operation. This frees the operator to
concentrate on the programming instead of the equipment.
Designed for DTV!
Synergy is the only production switcher that can truly handle dual aspect ratio production.
In the transition period to DTV, there is a need for dual aspect ratio production. Synergy
now includes, as an option, multiple internal aspect ratio converters (Aspectizers). Since the
Aspectizers are internal and integrated with the Synergy control system, simultaneous dual
aspect production is enabled. Both 16:9 and 4:3 programs can be put together with your
existing crew at the same time!
