Analog Way Announces QuickVu, a Tri-Scaler Mixer/Switcher

	Analog Way QuickVu HD, a mixer/seamless switcher with three scalers.

Analog Way introduces QuickVu, a new mixer/seamless switcher with three scalers. QuickVu is based on Analog Way's new MidraTM platform, the core of a brand new line of mid-range mixers/seamless switchers. The MidraTM platform consists of six products: QuickVu, QuickMatriX, SmartMatriX², Pulse², Saphyr, and Eikos².

Based on MidraTM, the QuickVu (Ref.QVU150) offers a large variety of connectivity, through eight seamless inputs and 14 source plugs: four Universal analog, four DVI-D, four HDMI, and two 3G-SDI plugs. Thanks to the CleanCut effect, the QuickVu can operate fast and seamlessly switch between any of its 14 input plugs without fade through black or loss of sync. EDID management is now standard for inputs one through six for computer sources.

To fit any display resolution, including non-standard formats like LED walls and rear-projection cubes, QuickVu offers custom output format management, with a main layer fully resizable and that can be positioned anywhere.

QuickVu provides the ability to modify the program in real time without using the preview.

Thanks to the new "quick frame" function, a foreground frame, among eight available, can quickly hide all other layers when necessary. A simple button push allows return to the previous display. For immediate results, the quick frame is displayed directly on the program output, without using the preview. In addition, QuickVu offers eight presets from the front panel.

The "keying/titling" function will be available through the upcoming RK-350 (Ref.RK-350) keypad.

The QuickVu can easily embed or de-embed digital audio on HDMI and DVI-D connectors on inputs and outputs, ensuring better processing and quality of the video and audio mix.

QuickVu can be controlled through the RCS², a user-friendly graphic interface designed for the MidraTM platform. As an AIR application, the RCS² is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It offers three main sections to setup and control the QuickVu: setup, edit, and live.

QuickVu can also be controlled by the RK-350 keypad (end of 2013) and the orchestra remote console (first quarter 2014).
