High-Resolution Seamless Switcher
™
ScreenPRO-II
The ScreenPRO-II Seamless Switcher is a high-resolution multi-layer video display system that combines seamless
switching with a variety of creative video effects. The result is a versatile video production tool for both live event
staging and fixed installation applications.
To produce its array of effects, ScreenPRO-II uses five image layers: one unscaled background, two scaled inputs (for
PIPs or Keys), one unscaled downstream key (DSK), plus a full-screen Logo that uses captured frame grabs as sources.
With this creative palette at your fingertips, you can transition backgrounds, transition PIP (Picture-in-Picture)
windows, perform wipes, dissolves and keys, fly PIPs and Keys on and off screen, and so much more.
The system’s flexibility is remarkable — using the mixer’s two scaled inputs, you can mix within a PIP, or display two
independent PIPs (or Keys) over a background. In addition, two unscaled high-resolution inputs enable you to
transition seamlessly between backgrounds, or use a background plus a high-resolution DSK.
With ScreenPRO-II, the term “seamless” goes far beyond the system’s ability to create clean, glitch-free switches
between inputs. With a typical single-format switcher (such as an all-SDI system), “seamless” is easy — because
input timing is uniform. However, when multi-format and multi-resolution sources are connected simultaneously, the
clean switching challenge arises, and that is precisely where ScreenPRO-II shines.
Whether it’s RGB, composite, component, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or computer resolutions up to UXGA, ScreenPRO-II’s twin
Athena scalers enable you to seamlessly cut, wipe, dissolve and move — without restriction.
