nNovia's New FireSwitch Delivers Frame Accurate DV-Format Switching
October 24, 2003
San Jose, CA - nNovia Inc. ia now ahipping FireSwitch, a frame accurate, 4x1 DV switcher that allows up to fourindependent, nonsynchronized DV sources to be connected and switched "glitch-free" for multicamera live video production.
Based on nNovia's patent-pending DV switching technology, FireSwitch is an
asynchronous, IEEE-1394 DV 4x1 switch that provides two key features
necessary for live production: frame rate synchronization and accurate
frame boundary switching. FireSwitch automatically adjusts its output rate
to match the selected input source and prevents the display of partial
video frame data ("glitches") as well as video data loss by switching
exactly at the frame boundary. As a result, DV-based live production can be
used in place of the traditional, genlock-based analog alternative.
FireSwitch appears to other 1394 devices as a camera, making it easy to
connect to any DV environment. It can be operated from GPI or RS-232
control interfaces or through its front panel. Multiple units can be
controlled through a single serial interface, providing access to a larger
network of DV devices.
FireSwitch is priced at $999 and is available for immediate delivery.
Sales for nNovia products are handled by DVideosystems and a worldwide team
