It’s a very flexible four-channel HD video switcher supporting both SDI and HDMI inputs, video FX and audio mixing/FX, making it a complete and versatile portable video switching and mixing solution.’

The V-1SDI provides switching for professional 3G-SDI cameras and playback sources, along with HDMI sources including cameras, smart phones, computers, tablets and Blu-ray players. It has two dedicated 3G-SDI inputs, a third channel input that supports 3G-SDI or HDMI and a fourth channel HDMI input that also includes scaling. Inputs 1 to 3 of the V-1SDI support 1080p/1080i/720p video resolutions with Input 4’s scaler supporting a wider range of video and VESA resolutions. This makes the V-1SDI useful in a variety of configurations for both all-camera applications and applications that mix cameras, video sources and computer data sources.

In addition, it has a 14-channel audio mixer for mixing stereo audio from SDI, HDMI and external stereo audio sources and its dedicated microphone input. The V-1SDI includes two SDI programme and preview outputs, an HDMI output and a stereo audio output. 

The V-1SDI gives users picture-in-picture and split compositing effects for graphic insets, plus a DSK allowing for switching of input sources underneath overlaid titles and graphics and green screen capabilities.

A headphone output facilitates audio monitoring, and the V-1SDI supports mono or stereo plug-in-powered microphones. 

The switcher includes two SDI programme and preview outputs, an HDMI output and a stereo audio output. Both the SDI and HDMI preview outputs can be set to a multiview mode, where all inputs are displayed with colored borders indicating the program and preview selections, or in a full-screen mode. The HDMI multiview output also includes audio metering for the audio sources.
