Switcher/Mixer
The MS-900 accepts a mix of up to 8 SD inputs of your choice
including DV, SDI, DVI, YUV and Composite Video. Standard outputs
include DV, SDI, YUV, S-Video (Y/C) and Composite Video. Thanks to
a built in frame synchronizer and TBC for each channel, none of the
external video sources needs external genlock for flicker free
switching between all 8 inputs - in any format, this allows even
traditional entry level video cameras to be used.
Monitor
The built in 17-inch multi image display easily pulls out on
location, and provides a complete overview of all 8 input channels,
as well as Preview (Next Source) and Program (Live). The screen
also features tally information, where Program is highlighted in
red, and Next Source marked in yellow. In addition to the
multi-view display, each input card also provides a real-time live
Composite Video output, irrespective of the input type.
Recording
Recording is easily done via the built in DN-500 hard drive
recorder, which can record into a file format that can be edited in
most popular computer based editing systems. In addition the MS-900
is also supplied with a file conversion software, allowing easy and
fast conversion into additional file formats. With DN-500 you can
take advantage of tapeless recording, where recording times are far
longer than traditional tape, there are no drop-outs and using
Datavideo's Direct to Timeline technology, you will speed up the
process from recording to editing, thanks to file transfer, rather
than traditional capturing. Once you have completed your recording
simply eject the hard drive carrier from the DN-500, and connect it
easily to your NLE system via a standard USB connector. Your
recording is now immediately available as files ready for editing -
it's as easy as that! Talkback & Tally Indicator
In the production studio, good communication between the director,
cameraman, lighting, sound mixing etc. is essential to produce a
polished end result. The integrated ITC-100 Intercom System
provides talkback for up to 8 users, with additional tally
indication for each camera. The TD-1 camera tally light, also
provide dual colour tally light to assist the person (the talent)
in front of the camera (what camera is "Live" and what camera is
"Next Source"). The director can select to talk to an individual
channel or to all channels simultaneously. High signal to ratio
(good quality with very little noise) and full duplex design makes
the communication crisp and clear. The MS-900 system is supplied
with 8 x ITC-100SL camera belt packs, each with microphone headset,
on camera dual colour tally indicator and 20 meter
cable. Downstream
Keying/Titling
MS-900 features also include a downstream keyer (DSK) for
integration with character generator software, such as Datavideo
CG-100 or CG-350 . Overlay (Keying) can be performed internally or
externally. A separate Logo Display can be used independently of
the DSK utilising two built in image stores with support for *.bmp
image files. Chromakeying
Additional optional Chroma Key board can be fitted to add up to 4
channels of high quality Chroma Key. Each channel can be set
independently, to produce a perfect key from any angle or camera
type (perfect when you work with different types of cameras), and
you can seamlessly switch from one channel to another, even without
using any form of genlock. This is ideal for virtual studio or
newsroom type applications. Audio Delay & Audio Embedding
Use of digital formats like DV and SDI, often produces a delay in
the video stream. To accommodate for any delay MS-900 includes an
audio delay function, making it possible to synchronize video and
audio together for a perfect resolute. In addition the MS-900 also
features a DV and SDI audio embedder for output when recording to
an external source (like DVD recorders) or streaming to the
internet.
