Analog Way completes the Midra series with Eikos² and Saphyr

	Analog Way's Eikos2 and Saphyr

Analog Way announces the completion of its Midra series of mid-range mixers/seamless switchers with Eikos² and Saphyr. Both products will be exhibited in Analog Way's booth 11-F58 during Integrated Systems Europe 2014, on February 4 - 6, in Amsterdam, NL.

Eikos² and Saphyr offer diverse connectivity with 10 seamless inputs and 16 input plugs, including 4xDVI-D, 4xHDMI, and 4x3G-SDI. The systems can operate fast and seamlessly switch between any of their 16 input plugs without fade through black or loss of sync.

Both systems feature two outputs and a video output with digital and analog connectivity. A mosaic preview with two modes is available on both models, and EDID management is standard for all computer sources.

Eikos² and Saphyr can be used in mixer or native matrix modes with different layering capabilities. In addition, Eikos² features a quadravision mode to display up to four layers on a still background according to 12 different layouts. A quick frame function is available to place a foreground frame over all other layers when necessary. A simple button push allows return to the previous display.

Both systems feature a variety of effects and transitions to animate layers. Eikos² delivers up to 34 seamless transitions, including circle, stretch, and depth.

Digital audio can be easily embedded or de-embedded on HDMI and DVI-D connectors on inputs and outputs.

For easy routing of audio signals, some functions such as fast routing and audio breakaway mode are available.

Eikos² and Saphyr can be controlled through the RK-350, a brand new remote keypad, or the RCS², a user-friendly and intuitive graphic interface designed for the Midra series. As an AIR application, the RCS² is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It offers three main sections to setup and control the units: setup, edit, and live.

To facilitate the ease of integration of the Midra series, Analog Way provides a full package of drivers for easy control through Crestron and AMX control systems.
