Product Overview
Ross Video developed the Synergy SD series for live news, live sports, and live production. Because
the switcher is the center of the action, it must be powerful, versatile, yet easy to operate. This
operational simplicity frees operators to concentrate on the programming — instead of the equipment.
The Synergy SD 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 the
traditions of Ross Video — power, ease-of use, and logical panel layouts.
Product Highlights
The following list summarizes the key features of the Synergy 2, 3 and 4 SD switchers:
• Fully Digital System . All switchers in the series are 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.
• Large Input Matrix . The Synergy SD frame can accept up to 64 video inputs, in groups
of eight inputs each.
• Compact Size . The 11 RU (Rack Unit) frame can house 64 inputs, four fully optioned
MLEs, 12 timed Aux Buses, an extender board, and full redundant power.
• Low Power . The only power requirements are a maximum 300 watts for the frame and
175 watts for the panel (based on a fully-loaded Synergy 4). Each power supply plugs
into a standard power outlet.
• Growth Path . The same electronics frame is used for all multi-MLE Synergy SD
switchers. You have the option of buying a smaller system now — and adding another
MLE and a larger control panel as your needs grow.
• Powerful Keyers . Each full function Keyer has dedicated pushbuttons, flying borders
for every key type, optional Squeeze & Tease capability, chroma keying, key over
transition, quick key preview, transition generators, and bi-color on-air status.
• Squeeze & Tease . A 2D or 3D DVE key can be built into every Keyer — up to two per
MLE. With the option installed, every type of Key can be repositioned, squeezed and
zoomed.
With 2D , you can simultaneously crop, reposition, flip, squeeze or zoom, border, and
add a glowing transparent color-washed drop shadow to a key inside a single Keyer.
With 3D , you can simultaneously crop, rotate and reposition keys in 3D space, freeze
moving video, border, and build and move objects inside a single Keyer.
• Chroma Keying . A standard feature in every MLE Keyer, all chroma keyers feature
chroma suppression, hue rejection, plus natural and simulated shadows.
