Overview
Functions
MIG-V4 switcher is composed of MIG-V4 host and MIG-H1 console,single
MIG-H1 can control up to 9MIG-V4 hosts.
High-performance MIG-V4 host adopts advanced 12 bit algorithm,and it
make picture more clear,delicate,colorful,ensure the output signal
synchronization and reducibility as well.Single machine supports output
capability up to 3840*1080 pixels,and it supports 1 multi-screen preview and
1 auxiliary preview.It can realize 8 layers to 8 layers fade switching,the built-in
matrix supports 12 inputs,and can expand 20 inputs with full live preview of all
inputs sources.When V4 works with H1, it can realize large LED video wall
display,multi-scene and multi-layer switching,backupetcfunctions,and it is
widely applied in auto show,conference,productslaunching,and stage show
etc events.
MIG-V4 host adopts hardware architecture on basis of high speed and
capable FPGA array,and digital bus matrix.For all kinds of inputs sources,V4
ensures original signal recovery by adopting RGB 24 bits/60Hz internal
processors,ensures high quality image output without delay and supports
seamless splicing for multi-screen outputs by using a built-in
high-performance image scaling engine.
MIG-V4 supports various input sources,including DVI,VGA,HDMI,SDI and
supports EDID management for input sources.
All series video wall switchers are designed with built-in standard associative
modularity,which support online upgrade and internet remote control,making
technical supports and after-sale maintenance convenient.
