Every output is fully timed to provide consistent and adjustable output phasing.
Analog Reference Input
All Synergy Q/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 over
Ethernet using drag and drop.
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 quickly from the system hard drive. When the optional
MediaCache™ for Global-Store is enabled, the playout capabilities and storage capacity of the
Global-Store are increased considerably.
Full Multi-Definition MLE Effects Systems
Standard equipment on the Synergy Q/MD switcher includes full MLE (Multi-Level Effect) systems.
Both keyers in a full MLE can matte fill, key invert, pattern mask, box mask, garbage mask, self-key,
linear key, and preset pattern key. UltraChrome advanced chroma keying is standard on key 1 and
optional on key 2. Each full MLE has a dedicated utility bus for video-in-border applications. All full
MLEs have powerful internal DVE send/return paths. Up to four channels of optional 3D DVE can be
dedicated to each full MLE. Each full MLE provides two wash generators that incorporate extensive
wash patterns, matte video effects, and noise effects. Full preview is always available to reduce on-air
surprises.
Added Flexibility with a Half MLE!
The Synergy Q/MD family offers either a fully functional MLE (refer to the section “ Full
Multi-Definition MLE Effects Systems ” on page 1-11), or a convenient program/preset area on the
bottom rows of the control panel. The configuration that you choose really comes down to the
switching preference of your TDs. Many TDs will switch just above the program/preset most of the
time, leaving the program/preset as a quick way to exit out of complex MLE effects. Other TDs prefer
instead to switch on the very bottom row, and appreciate the added effects capability that a full MLE
provides.
Note If the reference loop is not used, it is recommended that the loopback
BNC be terminated.
