SmartConversion Overview
Synergy Q/MD switchers can operate with high-definition (in a wide variety of formats) as well as
standard-definition video. To mix video signals, Synergy Q/MD switchers require all video signals to
be in the same format. This means that mixing standard and high-definition video requires a
conversion to one of the formats (such as converting standard-definition to high-definition).
Converting Video
SmartConversion uses an expandable approach to video format conversion. Typically, not all the
video sources in your switcher need to be converted simultaneously as it would be a rare case to need
all video sources on-air at the same time. Thus, you can have fewer converters than video sources and
route only those that need conversion at the present time through the converters. As video sources are
taken on and off-air, converters become busy and free depending on the number of sources that need
conversion at one time. Optimizing the number of converters to the expected number of simultaneous
video conversions you require allows you to realize a significant cost savings over having to purchase
one converter for every video input.
SmartConversion utilizes external up/down converters to handle video format conversion. This allows
you the freedom to select up/down converters that best meet the needs of your facility. You can add
converters at any time and can use up to 32 up/down converters with a Synergy Q/MD switcher.
Conversion Loops
The up/down converters are connected to your switcher to form a conversion loop. A conversion loop
refers to the path that a video stream takes when it needs to be converted to a different format. When
you push a crosspoint button on your switcher and its associated video source is in a format that needs
to be converted, the video stream is automatically routed out through an Aux Bus to the up/down
converter. Once converted to the appropriate format, the video is routed back from the up/down
converter to an input on your Synergy Q/MD switcher.

You can specify that certain switcher video buses do not need conversion as well as specifying that
certain buses need dedicated converters. SmartConversion converts video sources between formats
on-the-fly and, once configured, is transparent to the operator. You can also change input video
formats on-the-fly (when an input signal is provided in a different format than is set on your switcher)
without having to reconfigure your switcher
