System Overview
The 4-Cast is a high quality multiple video/image processing system that displays two
computer and two analog video inputs on a single VGA or DVI type display. Control of the
4-Cast is through the serial (RS-232, 422, 485) or Ethernet port (RJ-45) and the control
software installs on Windows® 98SE operating system or newer (Excluding Windows NT).
Avitech’s proprietary control software (Galaxy) provides a user-friendly graphical interface
for complete control over the 4-Cast.
Each image window is fully customizable allowing you to scale an image up to full screen
and then place the image anywhere on the display. The 4-Cast can also crop and pan any
image and utilize amazing digital fading transitions when switching between two images
that overlap one another. Moreover, the special effects allow users to superimpose one
image on top of another and control the degree of transparency between the two images.
Once the layout is finalized, it can be saved on your control PC or in the module’s internal
flash memory allowing it to load the next time it is powered on. Astonishingly, the 4-Cast
does all of this and is suitable for use in any environment where the user needs to monitor
multiple inputs.
