Barco DCS-100 User manual

Cost-effective dual-channel seamless switcher
DCS-100
The DCS-100 is a Dual-Channel Switcher designed to provide
true seamless switching between different input sources,
while maintaining high image scaling quality at an
affordable price. The DCS-100 features straightforward and
simple operation making it ideal in live events, company
boardrooms, hotel ballrooms, houses of worship, education
and training facilities.
The DCS-100 accepts universal analog, DVI and HD/SD SDI
input sources and converts them to a wide variety of output
formats. Output video is provided simultaneously in DVI and
analog formats. The DCS-100 also allows users to capture
and store up to three images that can be used as a LOGO
source during the presentation.
The DCS-100 can utilize the DVI inputs as a luminance keying
source, allowing for titling and lower third key applications.
The DCS-100 allows for input sources to seamlessly transition
under the DVI key.
