Every output is fully timed to provide consistent and adjustable output phasing.
Analog Reference Input
All Synergy 100 MD switchers use an analog reference that consists of a pair of looping reference
BNC connectors, in addition to the standard 16 inputs, on the rear panel of the Video Input Board.
Tri-level sync is recommended for HD applications. The same looping connector will accept standard
color black as a reference in SD applications.
3 Channel Global-Store
Three independent channels of stills are available switcher-wide. Thousands of full screen stills and
logos can be stored in the on-board hard drive and are transferable to other control-room devices via
Ethernet using a WebDAV connection, which also comes standard with the Synergy 100 MD.
Global-Store comes standard with 256 Megabytes of RAM storage. This translates to at least 30 full
screen 1080i images with key or 189 full screen 480i images with key. The number of images stored
increase considerably when smaller, non-full screen images like logos are stored. Thousands of
additional images can be loaded from the system hard drive.
One Full Multi-Definition MLE Effects System
Standard equipment on the Synergy 100 MD includes one full MLE (Multi-Level Effect) system. Two
wipe generators come standard. The two Effects Keyers can matte fill, key invert, mask, Self Key,
Linear Key, and Preset Pattern Key. A “floating” UltraChrome advanced Chroma Keyer is standard.
The MLE also features five matte generators. Full preview is always available to reduce on-air
surprises.
Copy and Swap Functions
The following convenient copy and swap functions are available as standard:
• Copy Key – allows you to copy the contents of one keyer to another keyer.
• Swap Key – allows you to swap the contents of one keyer with another keyer.
Two Pattern Generators
The Synergy 100 MD includes (as standard) two full functionality pattern generators equipped with
extensive traditional, rotary, and matrix wipes, as well as preset pattern keys.
Keyer Configuration
