The Sima SFX-11 Digital Video Mixer offers analog to digital signal conversion and provides quality mixing options for videos using digital signal processing to produce vibrant colors and excellent picture quality. It features a 3.5mm stereo audio, 2 composite and 2 S-video inputs, and 4 outputs. In addition to offering various digital effects like strobe, mosaic, paint, still, and negative, it improves the picture quality on 2 (A/B) channels. Using the joystick to control the mixer, PIP windows can be created and moved to any location on the display.
In addition to offering up to 96 wipe patterns including circle, bar, cross-hatch, corner, etc., the digital video mixer allows you to pre-set the speed of the wipes and fades for one-touch automatic control. The chroma key (blue screen) or the luminance key (black screen) allows you to isolate images and superimpose them onto other scenes. Using the ArcSoft Total Media and Media Converter, you can digitize and record edited video to HDD and DVD formats with MPEG 2, MPEG 4, and AVI compression techniques. Time-slip capabilities allow you to pause the viewing of a recorded video while the mixer continues to record. The mixer also allows you to create iPod-capable videos.

Comments about Sima SFX-11 Digital Video Mixer:
The SFx-11 was bought simple multi-camera production recordings. Very user friendly and easy to setup. The only disadvantage is the 3rd and 4th input which only have s-video input. Otherwise the SFX-11 is as good as those cost more than double its price.

I am so excited to have this new switcher. It has been a joy to use it. In the process it has taught me a couple of new things. At this point, I still have not found out all of the great things that it can do.

Comments about Sima SFX-11 Digital Video Mixer:
We use the board mostly as a glorified video feed switch for our main TV's at the front of our church sanctuary. I'm interested in the possibility of running that video feed to the computer with the supplied cables, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet. It was pretty easy to set up if you've messed around with others a little. I removed the old Videonics board and replaced it with this one within about an hour so it wasn't very difficult. My biggest complaint is that there is no memory to retain settings when you power off the board. The previous board we owned, which recently died, was higher end than we could afford again and more than we really needed. However, it stored all the changes in it's memory so we didn't have to reset all the video feed selections, transition, background, and effects settings every time. So as it is right now, I have to leave it on all the time because I'm not always there to set it up for other people and not everyone who helps is tech savvy enough to do so... even though it isn't that complicated once you have it figured out - it's just frustrating, and you'd think a [$]piece of equipment could have one of the most basic functions of all - memory.

Comments about Sima SFX-11 Digital Video Mixer:
If all you want is the ability to mix two video inputs for "picture in picture" or transitions or "wipes", this is the unit for you. Just keep a few of things in mind:
No digital capabilities. Only anolog input/outputs like composite and S-video.
Cannot mix composite and S-video in the same input/output line. One way or no way.
Have fun. Its a great starting point on a tight budget.

I use this product with video software which allows our church to place song lyrics over live video. This is a great product for the money. It's perfect for any group looking create dynamic graphics. It also gives the ability to copy live video and audio to any PC.

Comments about Sima SFX-11 Digital Video Mixer:
I'm a VJ (Video Jockey) and I use this when I mix live video to the music of DJs or musiciens.
What's great about it is that it's affordable, compared to the Edirol and Vixid VJ mixers AND it has sound input/output which neither of the others have (I often record my live performances). Plus it has monitor outputs, which now the Edirol V8 has, but not the V4. And it's light weight.
This is my 2nd one because the buttons (A/B) do start to go because it's not designed for VJing per say, but it did last longer than I anticipated (and now my older one can be modified and I'll have a backup).

Comments about Sima SFX-11 Digital Video Mixer:
We bought this unit to begin DVD recording and webcasting almost 3 years ago and haven't had a moment's trouble with it. It provides silky smooth transitions for the 4 video inputs and a built-in audio mixer. It is capable of doing so much more, but is a workhorse that we have taken for on-the-fly two camera mixing too many events. Add a couple of cameras, an audio line from the sound board, and a 3 by 4-inch video monitor and you are up and running! You will double the price to buy ANYTHING else. This is an awesome, durable, entry-level (and then some) piece that I recommend all the time!
