nNovia Ships FireSwitch for Frame Accurate DV-Format Switching
December 01, 2003
San Jose, CA - nNovia Inc. is shipping FireSwitch, a frame accurate, 4x1 DV switcher that allows up to four independent, nonsynchronized DV sources to be connected and switched "glitch-free" for multicamera live video production, the company has announced.
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, the manufacturer describes. As a result, DV-based live production can be used in place of the traditional, genlock-based analog alternative.
FireSwitch is priced at $999 and is available for immediate delivery.
