Main Features The V-440HD multiformat live switcher is capable of switching between four HD/ RGB input systems and four SD input systems for seamless switching between HD, RGB, and SD inputs. There is no need to obtain separate converters to handle each type of format. Although housed in a compact body, this one device is capable of handling a wide variety of formats. SD VCR SD Video Presenter Plasuma Display Projector HD VCR V-440HD PC About HD An abbreviation for "High Definition," HD is a generic term for television formats that, in comparison to conventional TV formats, provide higher resolution and an improved angle of view, and deliver a heightened sense of presence by means of large-screen. This is also referred to as HDTV. Although there are a number of different types of HD, which can vary depending on the country where the technology was developed, the V-440HD utilizes the standards recommended in BT.709-3, established by the ITU in February, 1998. About RGB This format, used for output of video images with computers and other digital devices, uses video signals whereby each of three main colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B), are handled separately. About SD An abbreviation for Standard Definition, this refers to formats currently in general use (such as 480I), as opposed to HD (High Definition). Organization of the V-440HD The V-440HD comprises two main sections, an "HD/RGB section," which is used to mix all video signals, and an "SD section," used for managing all SD video. The resulting mixes of composite video and S-video signals from the SD section (PGM output) are sent to the HD/RGB section, where the HD and RGB video are mixed and then output in either HD or RGB format. SD IN 1 SD IN 2 SD IN 3 SD IN 4 HD/RGB IN 1 HD/RGB IN 2 HD/RGB IN 3 HD/RGB IN 4 For a detailed diagram, refer to the "Block Diagram" (p. 78).
