Barco FSN-1004 Fixed-Configuration Multi-Format Presentation Switcher

Barco FSN-1004 Fixed-Configuration Multi-Format Presentation Switcher

The Barco FSN-1004 Fixed-Configuration Multi-Format Presentation Switcher is a multi-screen system centering on the FSN-1400 modular chassis. Instead of a physical controller for the chassis, the package comes with a GUI control software. The GUI can be run from a Mac or PC connected into an Ethernet port on the chassis. As part of the package, the highly-configurable chassis comes pre-configured with 5 Universal Input Cards (UIC), 2 Universal Output Cards (UOC), an M/E Card (M/E), a Multi-Viewer Card (MVR), and a System Card (SYS) with the above Ethernet port, two 9-pin serial ports, and a Ref In, Out and Loop on BNCs.

The 5 Universal Input Cards each feature 2 SDI inputs, 2 VGAinputs, and 2 DVI inputs. The Universal Output Cards likewise each have 2 SDI, 2 VGA, and 2 DVI outputs. All the VGAs are HD-convertible via optional adapters from Barco s Switcher Cable Kit. The M/E Card has 6 SDI AUX outputs. The Multi-Viewer Card is a 16 channel monitoring card with 2 SDIs, 2 DVIs, and an LTC input.

Key Features

The Multi-Viewer Card provides a fully integrated monitoring solution, eliminating the need for multiple monitors and signal distribution, simplifying your system s operation and reducing the overall operating cost. The Multi-Viewer enables you to monitor up to 16 video signals, comprised of any input source, any Program, Preview or Clean feed output, and any Aux bus output.

In addition to video sources, the Multi-Viewer can also display a real-time-clock (RTC) or timecode from the card s LTC input connector.

The Multi-Viewer operates in either single or dual monitor modes. In single mode, up to 16 PIPs can be displayed on a single monitor. In dual mode, the 16 PIPs are distributed between two DVI-D and HD-SDI monitor outputs. Over 20 different layouts are available, designed to fit any monitoring requirement.

Once a layout is selected, you can customize the text, background, border and UMD color. Any PIP can be turned off, and the overall layout s background color, border color, and UMD (Under Monitor Display) color are all variable. The Multi-Viewer provides standard red/green tally within the UMD, and PIP borders automatically turn red to indicate loss-of-signal (LOS) or cyan when the corresponding input source is frozen. Just like all FSN cards, the Multi-Viewer card is hot-swappable, allowing for quick and easy extraction and insertion, without disturbing the system operation.
