Power Consumption
Input voltage:
90V~250V AC, 47~63Hz
Control panel:
350 VA
Frame (with no options):
175 VA

Environmental Characteristics

Panel and rack frame separation:
1000 ft (305 m) max
Ambient temperature range:
0 - 40 degrees C
The video processing circuitry is cooled by three fans using side-to-side airflow. The power supplies have independent fan cooling using bottom to top airflow with intakes and vents at the side.
The control panel is convection cooled (no fans) for silent operation.

Video Characteristics

Video Processing
10 bit 4:2:2 component digital video and key processing
256 levels of key transparency
525/625 line support, auto detect
4:3 and anmorphic 16:9 switchable aspect ratio

Video Inputs
Number of inputs:
32, 40, 48, 56, or 64
Equalization:
> 150 m
Impedance:
75 ohm, terminating
Return loss:
> 20 dB
All inputs are SMPTE-259M-C serial digital non-looping.
The Synergy 4 comes standard with 32 inputs and additional inputs are purchased in sets of 8.
Inputs can be used for either key or video.
The reference input is SMPTE-259M-C and is chosen as one of the standard inputs. External A-D conversion is required for analog references.

Video Outputs - Output Characteristics
Return loss:
> 18 db @ 270 MHz
Rise time:
800 ps +/- 10%
Signal level:
800 mV +/- 10%
DC offset:
0 volts
Rise and fall time:
1 ns (20 - 80%)
Overshoot:
< 8%
All video outputs are 10-bit SMTPE-259M-C serial digital.
EDH is inserted into all video outputs except untimed Aux Buses and can be disabled.

System Timing

All video inputs zero time relative to reference input, auto timing will correct for inputs out of time by up to +/- 0.25 line (16us).
The delay through the switcher is less than one one-quarter line (approx. 12us). This delay can be manually increased in 37ns steps to a maximum of 32us in order to accomodate late video signals.

Note: Specifications are subject to change without notice.
