1–6 • Introduction Synergy 100 Installation Guide (v16.10-S100)
Product Overview
Ross Video developed the Synergy series for live news, live sports and live production. Because the
switcher is the center of the action, it must be powerful and versatile, yet easy to operate. This
operational simplicity frees operators to concentrate on the content — instead of the equipment.
The Synergy series (our fourth generation of switchers) was designed with the direct input of video
professionals experienced in news, sports, and mobile production. Key members of the Synergy
design team are part of an ongoing program where they demonstrate the product, assist with
installations and provide operator training. As a result, the Synergy line continues to advance Ross
Video’s traditions — power, ease of use and logical panel layouts.
Product Highlights
The following list summarizes the Synergy 100’s key features:
• Fully Digital System . The Synergy 100 switcher is fully-digital, including the reference
video connection. No analog input/output circuitry is provided. This unique concept
simplifies the design, minimizes the power requirements and reduces the overall cost.
By requiring all A-D and D-A conversion to be performed outside the system, digital
noise stays out of the converters. In addition, customers are guaranteed the latest
converter technology, without burdening the cost of the switcher and with the added
option to use those converters for other purposes — as they gradually convert to the
digital domain.
• Multi-Panel Flexibility . For superb flexibility and versatility, the Synergy 1 frame is
designed to operate with eight different control panels, four of which previously
operated in an analog environment:
~ GVG 100 (analog)
~ GVG 110 (analog)
~ RVS-210A (analog)
~ RVS-216A (analog)
~ RVS-210D (digital)
~ RVS-216D (digital)
~ Synergy 1 (digital)
~ Synergy 100 (digital)
• Large Input Matrix . The Synergy 1 frame can accept up to 16 digital video inputs —
not including black and two color background signals (which are generated internally).
On the Synergy 100 panel with its 10 available crosspoints, you have several crosspoint
layout options:
~ Assuming that
Black
and
Color Background
are mapped to crosspoints 1 and
10, respectively, and you have not mapped a
SHIFT
button, the panel gives you
direct access to 8 inputs. The remaining sources can be mapped internally, allowing
you to associate key (alpha) signals with their respective fill sources.
~ If you wish to map a
SHIFT
button to crosspoint 10, with
Black
and
Color
Background
mapped to crosspoints 1 and 9, respectively, the panel gives you
direct (and shifted) access to all 16 inputs. In this configuration you can also
internally associate key and fill inputs, for full input matrix flexibility.
