image processing and videowallsimage processing and videowallsmarket sectorsWhat is the point of a seamless switcher?The idea behind seamless switching is simple really; it is the only way to switch between different inputs on a display device without anyobvious joins. Be it a projector, plasma, LCD or any other display, they all have a native resolution and will perform best if given this as asource. All your input sources are managed by the switcher and scaled or converted to meet the native resolution of the display. Switchershave advanced quite a bit in recent years, with the advent of multiple PIPs (Picture-in-Picture), soft edge blending and now into the realmsof High Definition.Whatever the requirement, we have a solution.Scan converters, in a nutshell, will take your data source, VGA.DVI etc. and push out the signal at video level, YUV, SDI etc. There are variouslevels of quality and format within the range, so you don’t pay for what you do not need. Scalers effectively do the exact opposite of thescan converter. So video formats in, and out-putting at data level. They are often used for up-scaling or improving the resolution of a source.Multi-format converters are basically a combination of the two. If on one day you need to convert SDI carrying the audio to DVI with audioon RCA connectors, and the next VGA in and convert to PAL, then a multi-format converter is the one for you.62NeXtage 16ANANXT1604NeXtage TM 16 is a high-end seamless switcher with dedicated live processing, designed with a ruggedreinforced chassis and hardware for demanding live events.
