Digital Production Switchers - Synergy 4 MD-X

Powerful MLEs
Synergy MD packs major effects and keying power into every MLE. Each MLE has two fully featured keyers with luma, linear, preset pattern, and an advanced UltraChrome™ chroma keyer. Each MLE has a utility bus input for video-in-border and garbage mask applications, and a positionable clean feed output. Two advanced pattern generators per MLE include rotary wipes, matrix wipes, heart, star, and pattern rotation. Two additional pattern generators are dedicated to color wash generators.

Squeeze & Tease MD WARP
Stunning curvilinear transitions and creative effects are possible when this option adds WARP capability to Squeeze & Tease MD. Over 20 classes of modifiable WARP effects are included such as page turns, spheres, ripples, 3D hearts, stars, and more. more...

Squeeze & Tease MD
Squeeze & Tease MD is a high quality, powerful multi-definition 3D DVE that can be built into every 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, or sequences with complex timelines, keyframe editing, and quick "shot box" sequence recall. more...

UltraChrome™ Advanced Chroma Keying in every MLE
Our new UltraChrome™ chroma keyer uses new Ross technology to perform detailed keying in the most demanding applications. Each MLE includes two UltraChrome™ chroma keyers as a standard feature.

3 Channel Global-Store™
Three independent channels of stills are available switcher-wide. Thousands of stills and logos can be stored in the on-board hard drive and are transferable to other control room devices via Ethernet.

MLE-Stores™
Every MLE can have four channels of dedicated still store. These channels can be paired for video + key operation. MLE-Stores™ have the same capabilities as the Global-Store™ and have rapid access to additional stills stored on the system hard drive.

MediaCache™
The addition of MediaCache™ supercharges the Global-Store™ and MLE-Store™ still stores. On-board memory and video processing capability is dramatically increased, making multiple channels of animated logos, short uncompressed clips, and moving graphics a reality.

MultiDSK™
Time, temperature and bug logos are often added downstream. This option adds two more linear downstream keyers to the Synergy MD system, bringing the total number of DSKs in the system to four. The keyers have full access to the internal crosspoint matrix making every source available as a downstream key.

Internal Proc Amps
Synergy MD makes your sources look the very best even when they have been misadjusted. With 5 Proc Amps per full MLE, fixes are easy. Every video input and bus can have luma gain, chroma gain, black and white offset, and chroma phase adjustments. As well, one of the proc amps can be used to correct an Aux Bus output. Great for feeding a plasma monitor!

RGB Color Correction
Creative color adjustments are available system wide with the RGB Color Correction option. There are five color correctors per full MLE. One of these is used for modifying an Aux Bus output. The four are tied to the MLE’s Program, Preset, Key 1 video, and Key 2 video buses, and can be used to apply color correction to either an individual input on the associated bus, to the entire bus, or to both.

Preview Overlay
This unique option allows the technical directors to keep their eyes on the action by presenting critical information over the preview monitor output. Included are VTR and video server time code, a count up/down timer, source ID, safe title, and more, with each individually selectable via handy control panel buttons. more...
