The ScreenPRO-II Seamless Switcher from Barco is a switcher that can be used to achieve various effects through its four-layer architecture: an unscaled background layer, up to (2) scaled picture-in-picture (PIP) or key layers, and a downstream key. Combine them in different ways to produce transition backgrounds, transition PIPs, wipes, dissolves, and keys.
The unit features (2) inputs that can be scaled and mixed to produce mixing within a PIP area or two independent PIPs or keys displayed on a background. Furthermore, (2) high-resolution input channels provide seamless transition backgrounds or high-resolution backgrounds and high-resolution downstream key.
An internal 8x2 analog video router offers universal analog source to each scaler channel. Moreover, up to (2) optional SD/HD-SDI inputs are available for the scaled channels. The unit supports input and output resolutions up to UXGA and motion adaptive deinterlacing is performed on SD/HD-SDI sources. The switcher also features a maximum low-video processing delay of (3) input fields. This unit is housed in a 3U rackmount kit.
