Complementing its audio performance, the MC-8 features two
broadcast-quality video switchers. A wide-bandwidth component
video switcher accepts analog component or RGB video signals,
while a composite and S-video switcher accepts high-quality NTSC,
PAL, or SECAM video signals. The component video switcher can
pass High-Definition TV (HDTV) signals, as well as Standard-
Definition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video
signals without alteration or degradation.
Built to professional standards, the MC-8 is designed to serve as the
control center in any high-quality home theater. Even the most
demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unique
combination of power, performance, flexibility, and technological
sophistication. With extensive expansion capabilities, the MC-8
represents a solid investment that will retain its value in the face of
rapidly emerging technologies.
