DX-2200

– Dual-view 2x1 SDI Video Switcher

(Model Part

Number: DX-2200-SW-02)

is a high performance dual input SDI Video Switcher

supporting enhanced video capabilities including: 2x1 glitch-free video switching,

picture-in-picture (PiP), picture-and-picture (PAP), Split-Screen, text overlay / on

screen display (OSD), Alpha Blending and Digital Zoom. The product is available

as a stand-alone product in an aluminum enclosure or as an open printed circuit

board for incorporation into embedded video system. The unit is designed for use

in broadcast, professional video recording and high-end surveillance applications.

To ensure glitch-free continuous/artifact free video output, the two input SDI video

streams are firstly frame synchronized then switched during the vertical interval

period when a frame is complete. Additional frame buffers are used to eliminate

artifacts which can occur when operating in a PiP or PAP mode during which

scalers or clippers are being used.

When processing interlaced video, a field detector is used to synchronize the input

frame buffers and video processing to ensure the correct alignment of the video

fields when switching between the video streams or swapping PiP or PAP

displays. The output video format can be the same as the format detect on the

SDI input 1 (SDI-1) video source, or can be programmed independently.

The product supports synchronized switching of SD / HD SDI video formats. Text

overlay is supported on progressive video only.

The units can be configured to retain the user configuration in on-board flash

during power ON / OFF power cycles.

Text Overlay OSD Features

The DX-2200

supports text overlay OSD in all display modes of operation.

Features of the text overlay OSD include:

1) Display of 48 independent Fields of up to 96 characters.

2) Alpha blending of the text on the video screen.

3) Active Frame Counter.

4) Independent color selection of text fields.

5) Configurable background color.

6) Opacity control.

7) Independent ON/OFF control of text fields.

8) X-Y position control.

9) Permanent retention of text fields in flash memory.

10) Eight font / text size combinations.

The text is supplied to the DX-2200 Switcher through the RS-232 serial port. The

user can optionally store the text fields in the on-board flash in which case they will

be retained power ON/OFF power cycles.

NOTE:

The Text/graphic overlay feature is supported in progressive video formats

only.
