Product Overview
This section provides an overview of the Synergy Q/MD switcher and available options. The Q/MD
chassis is used in conjunction with the
Synergy 1 , 2 , and 3 control panels to create the Synergy 1 , 1.5 ,
2 , and 2.5 Q/MD Switchers .
Product Highlights
The following list summarizes the key features of the Synergy Q/MD line:
• Fully Digital System . All switchers in the series are fully digital. 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-Definition . The Synergy Q/MD switcher allows you to work in either Standard
Definition or High Definition, supporting 480i (SD 525), 576i (SD 625), 720p, 1080i,
and 1080pSF video formats.
• Flexible Input Matrix . The Synergy Q/MD frame can be loaded with your choice of
16, 26, or 32 multi-definition video inputs.
• Compact Size . The rack-saving 3 RU (Rack Unit) Synergy Q/MD frame can house 32
multi-definition inputs, 16 multi-definition configurable outputs, 2.5 MLEs, 8 DVE
channels, 13 internal keyers, 2 WARP generators, 11 internal Ethernet-connected Media
Stores, and 19 classes of external interfaces. Also available, either as standard features
or as options, are Proc Amps, RGB Color Correctors, Utility Buses, FlexiClean, Preview
Overlay, Linux OS, and a whole lot more.
• Mnemonics . Synergy mnemonics are perfect for mobile and other applications that
require different source names from one production to another. Mnemonics are available
for every MLE on the Synergy 1.5, 2, and 2.5 Q/MD control panels, as well as the
Custom Control button row. Every display can have individual settings for display color,
text size, and backlighting to provide clear naming and source group separation.
• Preview Overlay . This powerful option presents a VTR and video server time code, a
count up/down timer, source ID, safe title, and more on the preview monitor output.
With the exception of the Synergy 1 panel, which provides access through the switcher
menu system, each feature is individually selectable via handy control panel buttons.
• Squeeze & Tease MD . Squeeze & Tease MD is a high quality, powerful multi-definition
3D DVE that can be built into every full MLE. Great for sophisticated looking boxes, it
allows every type of key to be squeezed or zoomed, cropped, repositioned, and rotated in
3D space. It can also perform 3D Key or Background transitions, build sequences with
complex timelines, Keyframe editing, and quick “shot box” sequence recall. Squeeze &
Tease MD comes equipped with a positionable light source, preprocessor effects such as
defocus, mosaic, posterization, colorization, strobe, picture frame borders, timeline
sequences with holds, and a lot more. Up to 4 channels of Squeeze & Tease MD can be
added to every full MLE.
• Squeeze & Tease MD WARP . Squeeze & Tease MD WARP adds extensive curvilinear
effects to an MLE with Squeeze & Tease MD installed. These effects can be applied to
transitions or keys where a planar channel is being used. WARP effects include Globe,
