Signal Processors
Distribution amplifiers allow video and/or audio sources to be distributed to multiple destinations. The application, for example, could be the ability to view video and audio from one source to twenty monitors or projectors or more. Duplication from a video or audio source to multiple recorders will...

Switchers have many application benefits. They can be used for signal monitoring from multiple sources, point of sale displays or for live broadcast and studio routers etc.
They vary in the number of inputs and outputs and the format standard can vary (composite, component, audio etc). Switching can...

A matrix router, or 'switcher', enables video, audio or both to be output to multiple destinations.
They can be anything from very simple mechanical switching units to highly sophisticated, programmable and remotely operated units routing the highest quality digital HD signals. A mechanical matrix...

Analogue to digital converters take video in one form, composite, Y/C or component, and convert it to another format - like DV, HDV or SDI.
Built-In Signal Processing
Many converters are bi-directional, so they can convert from analogue video to digital, or from digital to analogue. Some analogue...

Scalers convert video or graphics signals to pixel format signals (PC signals), or HD signals. Incoming video signals or graphics signals are converted to user selectable output resolutions, and the latest digital signal conversion technology and resolution sampling provide outputs which are virtually...

A Waveform monitor is typically used in a Television broadcast application to display the brightness of a picture.
In a multicamera situation a waveform monitor could be used to help caliborate the camera, this is to ensure that the cameras are being shot under the same conditions. ...

Signal processors convert and process either audio or video signals to and from the different format standards. They are also called 'decoders', 'encoders', 'transcoders' and 'converters'.
Standard Converting Technology
You may need to process balanced to unbalanced audio, component video to firewire or SDI or vice versa etc. Standard converters can convert the different video standards - such as Pal to NTSC - or you may wish to stabilise your video with timebase correction. In this section, we have all the relevant tools for any application you may have.
