Overview
Note
In dual link mode, this function is not available.
Highly expandable system configuration
By combining option boards, you can configure the
optimum system for your requirements, selecting the
number of inputs and outputs, and the number of M/E
banks. The system's flexibility guarantees its ability to
meet future expansion requirements.
High-performance keyers
Each M/E bank is equipped with four high-performance
keyers that provide the following standard functions.
• Ability to apply transitions to keyers independently of
the background
• Chroma key and color vector keys in each keyer
• FineKey TM , and key borders up to 8H
• Color mixable matte generator available for both key fill
and key borders
Simultaneous output of two programs
Each M/E bank is able to handle two simultaneous
program outputs, with the ability to apply any of the four
keys to program output. This gives the system the ability
to handle a wide range of operating situations, for example
simultaneous transmission of two programs.
Powerful preview functions
The system supports simultaneous output of look-ahead
previews (next preview) and key previews, and also
transition previews.
Extended frame memory functions

DME wipes and processed keys and a wide variety of other
DME functions as if they were native switcher functions.
