This multi-channel video mixer provides a cost effective solution of combining multiple video inputs together into one split screen view for display or recording.
The additional video channels/windows are overlayed onto the main channel screen in real time. All video inputs are synchronized accurately so all camera/video channels are displayed simultaneously in real time for smooth and sharp pictures without glitch.
The PIP or split-screen window screen format and position can be controlled by using the supplied IR remote, front panel push buttons or RS232/RS485 connection with a PC.
This unit can also be used as a 16 in 1 out video switch for various visual presentation or surveillance applications. It is also a great add-on
video module for applications related with video entertainment, video streaming, public broadcasting, digital signage and others.
Users can manage and monitor multiple video channel inputs in real time from video cameras or other A/V devices such as such as CCTV surveillance camera, camcorders, DVD media players, satellite receiver, DVR or other video systems.
Total of 16 video inputs, 16 video loop ports with 3 simultaneous video outputs including 2 composite BNC/RCA video outputs and 1 VGA output at 1024x768 pixels max. All NTSC and PAL video devices or TV monitors are supported.
This device works well for all applications related with visual presentation, entertainment, security surveillance, industrial monitoring where multiple images are required in a limited space.
Real-Time Multi-Channel Screen Modes
This split screen video processor can be used as a stand-alone screen overlay processor and video switch to control the layout of split-screen output and selection of video inputs from cameras or other analog video devices.
It can overlay all the selected input channels into different formation for viewing or presentation. All video input channels can be presented in the following 16 matrix screen modes:
