Synergy Series Operation Guide (v18) Introduction • 1–7
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, versatile, yet easy to operate. This operational
simplicity frees operators to concentrate on the programming — 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 series’ key features:
• 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 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 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 push buttons, 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 WARP 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 WARP , you have the full functionality of the most powerful and sophisticated
WARP card on the market today, all within a single keyer.
• Chroma Keying . A standard feature in every keyer, all chroma keyers feature chroma
suppression, hue rejection, plus natural and simulated shadows. Each is designed for use
in today’s fast-paced productions.
