I/O

HD-SDI in- and output in YUV or RGB 8/10 bit, optionally with SD-SDI
Support of all popular HD and SD formats
Support of digital audio (AES/EBU), embedded audio and ancillary data
Simple integration into multi-media environments via high-speed networking

Employ

Independent play and record with the same or different video format
Delay line mode
Play out same material while recording, e.g. slow-motion replay during sport events
Post-work whilst capturing, e.g. in color grading work
Efficient disk-to-disk post-work on one single HDXWay system

Display

Frame repetition, enabling flicker-free viewing of low frame rate material
Video data viewable on desktop in a freely configurable video overlay window

Store

Shared storage: both channels have concurrent real-time access to the same data
Ultra-fast video access
Different video formats on the same hard disk

Delay

Delay line mode with different frame rates at the input and output
User definable delay with an adjustable time or frame number
Loop mode for infinite operation time

Control

Independent control of two video channels via RS-422
High speed networking from any Windows® or Linux® computer
Synchronization of both channels for stereo applications
RS-422 master/slave operation, independent for either channels
Synchronization of two or more HDXWays with the multi-device option
