High-Resolution Seamless Switcher

The ScreenPRO-II Seamless Switcher is a high-resolution multi-layer video display system

that combines seamless switching with a variety of creative video effects. The result is a

versatile presentation tool for both live event staging and ﬁxed installation applications.

To produce its array of effects, ScreenPRO-II uses ﬁve image layers: one unscaled

background, two scaled inputs (for PIPs or Keys), one unscaled downstream key (DSK),

plus a full-screen Logo that uses captured frame grabs as sources. With this creative

palette at your ﬁngertips, you can transition backgrounds, transition PIP (Picture-in-

Picture) windows, perform wipes, dissolves and keys, ﬂy PIPs and Keys on and off

screen, and so much more.

The system’s ﬂexibility is remarkable — using the mixer’s two scalers, you can mix or key

HD-SDI, DVI, and analog source on top of the transitioning background, or display two

independent PIPs (or Keys) over a background. In addition, two unscaled high-resolution

layers enable you to transition seamlessly between backgrounds, or use a background

plus a high-resolution DSK.

With ScreenPRO-II, the term “seamless” goes far beyond the system’s ability to create

clean, glitch-free switches between inputs. With a typical single-format switcher (such

as an all-SDI system), “seamless” is easy — because input timing is uniform. However,

when multi-format and multi-resolution sources are connected simultaneously, the clean

switching challenge arises, and that is precisely where ScreenPRO-II shines.

Whether it’s RGB, composite, component, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, DVI or computer resolutions

up to WUXGA, ScreenPRO-II’s twin Athena scalers enable you to seamlessly cut, wipe,

dissolve and move — without restriction
