The BR-HD50E allows users to transfer both high and standard definition video material to and from their NLE systems and to make inexpensive tape archives of both. Switchable between the HDV and DV recording modes and equipped with DVCAM™ playback facility, the deck is an easy, flexible and cost-effective adjunct to any professional NLE system. The BR-HD50E features digital input and output via an IEEE 1394 standard 6-pin connector for lossless transfer and recording of high and standard definition material alike.

The BR-HD50E’s tape mechanism accepts both full size DV and miniDV cassettes and so has the capacity to record up to 276 minutes of video in either standard or high definition. The unit supports signals that are recorded in 720p/24/25/30/ and 576/50p in HDV, and 576i/50 & 25fps in DV. A front panel 8-digit LED display provides display of time code, user bits and VTR status. With its built-in HDV decoder, it has the ability to convert 720p MPEG2 recordings to 1080/50i or 576/50i for monitoring purposes. JVC had the foresight to include an HDMI output, meaning that large screen TFT panels and indeed any video screen display or PC monitor which is “HD Ready” can be directly fed from the BR-HD50’s High Definition Multimedia Interface.

The BR-HD50E also has versatile analogue input and output connections: component (via 3 x BNC), Y/C and Composite, as well as RS-422 control.

ProHD

The ProHD concept is built on the worldwide high definition standard of HDV adopted by JVC, Sharp, Sony and Canon. JVC has added professional features, in areas such as timecode and audio, without compromising the basic HDV standard. From the outset all ProHD models have been designed strictly for professional use.

Moreover, because video professionals will increasingly be called upon to produce programmes in high definition video as well as in standard definition, JVC has strategically included in their current range of ProHD camcorders and decks the same facilities for both standard and high definition production. On-board converters deliver, in real time from the native 720p engine, a wide array of high and standard definition signal types.

TV One C2-5200 Universal Video Scaler

C2-5100 Multi-Video Format Video Processor is much more than a Universal Video Scaler. Often referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of video processors, it has been the benchmark for video image conversion products since its introduction, coming nearer to the ideal of "Anything In - Anything Out" than any other conversion product available. Not only is it a high performance Video Scaler, Up-Converter, Down-Converter and Multi-Format Seamless Switcher, but it goes far beyond that. It's also a Worldwide Standards Converter, Chromkeyer, Lumakeyer, Picture-in-Picture Device, HDTV Converter, Frame Synchroniser, Time Base Corrector, Aspect Ratio Converter and a Universal Image Genlock, just to name a few. The 9-Inputs and 4-Outputs will accommodate Composite Video, S-Video, YCbCr, YPbPr, all HDTV formats and any RGBHV resolution up to 2048x2048 - not just some predefined ones, but ANY resolution, even custom ones. Plus, the C2-5100 also has 2-Outputs for Preview (RGBHV and Composite Video) to facilitate live event switching.

Picture-in-Picture Power - The C2-5100 is an unparalleled P-I-P device in its price range. Any video input can be squeezed and placed into a window of any size and positioned anywhere on the screen. The window can be placed over any other video input as the background. The image in the window can then be seamlessly switched to another video input. The image can also be zoomed while it is in the window. Multiple C2-5100 units may be cascaded to provide layer upon layer and window upon window of images from virtually any source, from Composite Video through HDTV and anything in between.

Powerful Features –The C2-5100 is ideally suited for use with LCD Projectors, CRT Monitors, Projection TV Systems, Plasma or HDTV Displays to improve picture quality. With its output signal format flexibility, it is assured that the Native Resolution of virtually any Digital Display can be matched. Because of the integral resolution calculator, even new resolutions can be instantly added to the menu. Adjustments are provided for Colour Saturation, Hue, Brightness and Contrast and each video input has its own non-volatile memory to retain these settings, even when the power to the unit has been turned off. Integral Test Signals are user defined. A Logo memory is provided, so the unit can easily be used as a Logo Inserter. The C2-5100 employs advanced motion compensation to smooth out fast moving images and its automatic 3:2 Pull-down efficiently de-interlaces video from 24 fps film. The unit can be controlled from the front panel, via RS-232, IR or an optional IP interface.

C2-7200 Dual Channel Video Processor provides the ultimate flexibility in analog and digital conversion as will as video and computer convergence. It features two independent video processing and scaling engines and two video mixers for maximum flexibility in handling virtually all analog and digital video signals and is equally at home in Broadcast or Display environments. The unit has three basic operating modes to simplify control.

Switcher Mode - Provides equally powerful Program and Preview channels for live event switching. In addition to previewing inputs before selection, even complex functions, such as Chromakeys and Picture-In-Picture, can be previewed for setup, totally independent of the Program channel output. Seamless transitions from Preview to Program can be either by Cut, Variable Duration Cross-Fade or Special Effects. Any signal format can be freely mixed with any other.
Independent Mode - Provides the power of two independently functioning products, performing different tasks in one box. Each output can deliver different formats and resolutions simultaneously. For example, a presentation being fed to a high resolution display on Output 1 via DVI can also be fed to a VCR for recording on Output 2 via Composite Video. In a Broadcast environment, the C2-7200 can function as two completely independent Analog to HD-SDI Converters, each genlocked to a different reference and each with a different logo or ID keyed in.

Dual PIP Mode - Any video input can be squeezed and placed into either of two windows of any size and positioned anywhere on the screen, even overlapping each other with user defined layer priority control. The windows can be placed over any other video input or a static image from the unit’s memory as the background. The image in the window can then be seamlessly switched or cross faded to another video input or even zoomed in or out. Keying can be added independently to each window and the background.

Powerful Features - 4:4:4 sampling provides full bandwidth colour which allows the C2-7200 to provide precise pixel by pixel keying, including Soft (Transparent) Keys. The unit’s 11 Inputs accommodate multiple HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVI, YPbPr, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, YCbCr, Composite and S-Video signals. It handles all HDTV formats and any PC resolution up to 2048x2048 - not just some predefined ones, but ANY resolution, even custom ones. The two independent output channels each offer SDI (SD or HD), DVI-I (also any RGB format), CV and SV simultaneously. The unit’s ability to alter the aspect ratio of any input enables different SDTV and HDTV images to be intermixed in any of the modes.

C2-7200’s output signal format flexibility assures that the Native Resolution of virtually any Digital Display can be matched. Because of the integral resolution calculator, even new resolutions can be instantly added to the menu. Adjustments are provided for Brightness, Contrast, Colour Saturation and Hue (where applicable) and each video input has its own non-volatile memory to retain these settings, even when the power to the unit has been turned off. Integral Test Pattern Signals are user definable. A fast Logo memory is provided, so the unit can easily be used as a Logo Inserter. The C2-7200 employs advanced motion compensation to smooth out fast moving images and its automatic 3:2 Pull-down efficiently de-interlaces video from 24 fps film.

The Grass Valley™ Professional Line of products is the next generation of solutions for audio/video professionals, helping you create and deliver broadcast-quality presentations while streamlining your investments in personnel and technology. A key component of this line is the Grass Valley Indigo A/V mixer, a new class of high-quality, multi-format audio/video mixer. Combining features normally found in video production switchers, AV presentation mixers, and audio mixers, it is a powerful, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate platform for live-presentation environments.

All - In - One AV Mixer
The Indigo platform offers a complete feature set for controlling multiple analogue or digital video and audio sources. With a high-resolution card installed, it simultaneously processes 15 sources: 12 SD, one scaled up from SD to HD, and two selected from HD video or computer inputs. It also up converts to HD and down converts to SD even simulcasts live SD and HD output. The Indigo platform also manages the mixing and timing of audio sources, ranging from unbalanced analogue to AES/EBU signals. And it seamlessly combines live, high-resolution computer-based media and presentation content with real-time video and audio materials.

Fits Any Skill Level
The Indigo AV mixer is simple enough for anyone to use. While providing full production switcher capabilities, its menu-driven touch screen interface can access powerful presets to get a new operator up and running in minutes. A senior operator can also customise these presets and save them for recall when needed.

Video Processing and Effects
The Indigo platform features numerous 2D and 3D transition effects that you can modify and save, along with all other layout data, into its E-MEM preset storage banks. Indigo keyers include linear, luminance and chroma keys.

Advanced Audio Mixing
Supporting eight stereo audio input channels from a selection of digital and balanced or unbalanced analogue sources, each Indigo audio channel has a four-band parametric equaliser and motor-driven fader. The mixer also provides phantom power for four microphones. And it can operate in audio-follow video mode, automatically fading audio up or down when its associated video source is taken to program. The mixer also features delay tracking, delaying audio automatically to coincide with any delay of video through the switcher, as well as user-defined output delay. These features ensure lip sync in live productions.

High In Value and Very Affordable
The Indigo mixer offers a number of economic benefits. Its competitive price, expansive functionality, and feature set ensure that you will no longer need separate and often more expensive production switchers and audio-mixing devices to get the job done.

Expansion
The Indigo HR AV mixer can connect hp to 8 HD-SDI inputs. The input expansion is a combination of Indigo's powerful external device controls with a customised version of the Acappella router from Thomson Grass Valley. With this expansion you
