Pristine Video and Audio

• End-to-end HD 1080i video pipeline, including effects and virtual sets
• Video processing employs 32-bit floating-point precision, 4:4:4:4 sampling and component (YCbCrA) color (well beyond industry standard 10-bit)
• Four-channel audio processed at 96kHz, 24-bit floating point
• Extensive audio input/output flexibility including SDI-Embedded, AES/EBU, and XLR/phone connectors
• All video inputs can be proc amped and keyed, including titles and DDRs
• Integrated waveform/vectorscope
• Individual processing controls for both Main and VGA outputs
• Capture video or stills with support for full 4:2:2 up to 1920x1080 resolution
• Next-generation interface design with key live production tools readily available, supported by quick access to configure each source
• Full 64-bit native architecture

Virtual Switcher Inputs and Live Virtual Sets

• Virtual Switcher inputs support multiple ‘mix/effects bus’-like preset compositions
• Populate multiple virtual inputs from a single camera source (and switch between them)
• Each source has Processing Amplifier, keying and alpha channel support
• Layer two live video or CG sources (internal or supplied by network)
• Independent zoom and pan controls for each source that make composition easy
• Add a third source as a dedicated overlay channel with independent transitions
• Optionally insert live video inputs into lifelike 3D live virtual sets with ease
• Zoom the virtual camera smoothly and easily (manual or automatic control)
• Presets provide quick convenient access to innumerable virtual input setups 

Production Flexibility

• HD-SDI and HD component plus SD-SDI, component, Y/C and composite input/output
• Freely intermix source resolutions and aspect ratios (including HD and SD video)
• Simultaneous HD and SD video output
• Network input supports computer screen and CG sources from external computers (input live Internet video-conferencing using a networked laptop that is running popular software)
• Simple live streaming with Flash™ or Windows Media™
• Capture live production and/or streaming output on 36 hours of internal storage
• Genlock input for broadcast system integration supports bi-level and tri-level references
• On-screen ISO monitoring for all switcher inputs (internal and external)
• Enhanced secondary video output for projector or second monitor (up to WUXGA) offers varied displays including Program, Preview, Effects, all ISO sources, Scopes, and more
• Dedicated upstream overlay with transitions with per source positioning, scaling, and color processing
• Two additional downstream overlay channels with individual transitions, scaling, position, keying and alpha channel, and color processing
