Description
This unit is a 1ME digital video switcher which supports multiple HD and SD formats. While featuring compact 
dimensions, it can optionally support HD analog component inputs (5) in addition to the five SDI inputs and one 
DVI-I input. Since a frame synchronizer is incorporated for each of the inputs, asynchronous video signals can be 
switched without “shocking” or “freezing”. Furthermore, the images created by a PC can be captured via Ethernet.
