Di-VentiX by Analog Way is a Full
Digital Computer and Video Up/Down Mixer Scaler
Switcher. In addition to numerous effects such as
fade, wipes, moving PIP and a true 8x2 scaled Matrix,
Di-VentiX also includes a stand alone Soft Edge function with a dual output.
Stand alone Edge Blending Mode
In Edge Blending mode, Di-VentiX can drive 2 videoprojectors for horizontal or vertical Soft Edge. Used as
an 8 input switcher, Di-VentiX provides a double PIP
image on a fixed background thanks to the 6 full frame
images stored in its non volatile memory. The background image can be chosen among the 6 frames
saved in the memory. The sources displayed in the
PIPs can be switched.
Mixer Mode
Di-VentiX scales all sources and performs seamless
switching transitions between any 2 inputs. The 2 Main
outputs match the native resolution of any video-projector or Hi-Res. display device, and the Preview outputs allow to monitor the sequences before they are
displayed on the main screens to avoid errors during a
presentation
Analog Way
Analog Way is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative image converters. Analog Way was founded in 1989 by Pierre Berthet and Marc Loret, two pioneers in the computer to video scan conversion technology field. The company headquarters is located in Paris, France. Our Research & Development, Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales and Marketing operations are performed in Paris, France.
In addition, Analog Way includes two wholly owned subsidiaries, in New York and Singapore. Our New-York office started its operations in September 1998 and an office on the American West Coast was also opened in 2004. The Singapore office started its operations in 2002.
Used Video Switcher
Video switchers, also known as a video display controller (abbreviated to VDC) is essentially the key component of a video signal generator. This kind of vision mixer is used for generating a visual signal in computers, and in some cases an audio signal too, although this is just a secondary function. The video switcher first made its appearance in our homes in the first types of home computers, such as the old Commodores and Spectrums, and is now an integral part of video signal generator logic.
A video mixer cannot work alone however, as it needs support from various other parts of the computer to work. For example, pixel data is stored in the computerâ??s RAM, while character fonts are held in the ROM. Therefore, the video switcher chip will usually be totally integrated into the main computer, and so users will be able to see the video RAM it gives in the CPUs memory map. It can also act as a co-processor that acts independently, although this is not usually the case.
The video switcher is generally available in three different formats. Video shifters are the most basic type of production shifter, and take care of the video timing signals. These obtain data one byte at a time from the CPU, and use synchronization signals to produce a video signal. The CTRC video switcher reads data directly from the computerâ??s RAM, and this is then outputted either through a ROM or directly. Far more complex are video interface controllers. This kind of video switcher supports sprites and video RAM which is dedicated towards color attributes, thus making extremely high-resolution images possible.
