The CDK-111A-M is the most advanced single card mixer/keyer on the market. The multi-keying function allows simultaneous compositing of both an external linear key source and an internally generated linear key source. For example, the CDK-111A-M can key an external character generator over the background video and then key an additional internally generated animated logo. The keying order (priority) of the external key and the internal key is user selectable. The internal key source can be a full-frame still or linear key, one of many stored linear key logos, or an animated logo. This makes the insertion of trouble slides, content rating bugs, logos, and animated logos simple and affordable.

The look-ahead Preview output is ideal for live productions providing confidence in the quality and accuracy of the next scene to go to air. The Preview output also allows for live configuration of the CDK-111A-M via an on-screen menu.

All four video channel inputs of the CDK-111A-M have full frame synchronization capability with infinite timing adjustment. This makes it easy to install and eliminates many system timing issues. All video signals can be referenced to analog black or to the digital Background A input, user selectable. With it's built-in fail-safe relay design, the CDK-111A-M is the perfect device for critical program stream applications.

Control over the CDK-111A-M is available via GPI, unbalanced full duplex RS-485 or 0-12V RS-232 compatible interface, on-screen configuration menu (on program or preview), and card-edge pushbuttons for unsurpassed flexibility. Configurable on-air tally outputs are also available. The CDK-111A-M supports both 525 and 625 video formats.
