The Mica System consists of an integrated design, which includes both a Server and
Video Switcher, as shown below. All Mica Systems have 8 HD/SD-SDI inputs, plus 1 Key
Cut input and 6 HD/SD-SDI outputs, plus 2 DVI-D outputs. Live video sources can be
synchronous and/or asynchronous, and auto detect 1080i/59.94, 720p/59.94,1080i/50,
720p/50, 486i/29.97 and 576i/25. The Mica Switcher supports the standards: SMPTE
296M, SMPTE 274M, ITU-R BT601-5, SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 292M.
The DVI-D outputs are used for monitoring Program, Preview, PowerAux or Clean Feed
on inexpensive monitors or for feeding a video projector. The DVI outputs support the
video standard of 1920x1080i at 59.94/50Hz. Note that depending on your device the
DVI signal may or may not be accepted.

NOTE:
It is not recommended to have long SDI cable runs over 200 meters (655 feet) for SD and 100
meters (325 feet) for HD and 8 meters (25 feet) for DVI, as signal quality will be degraded. For longer
runs, it is necessary to install video amplifiers/reclockers to boost the signal, although external
components may increase overall system delay.
