Our Indigo HD expander solution provides up to eight HD-SDI inputs and two HD-SDI auxiliary outputs to our Indigo AV mixer. A combination of the mixer's powerful external device controls and a custom version of our Acappella™ router and connecting via Ethernet and standard BNC video cables, it lets you cut and mix between eight sources right from the buttons on the Indigo control panel. The operation and video processing capabilities of the mixer—including keys, effects, and scaling—remain unaffected.
The Grass Valley™ Indigo™ HD Expansion Solution is a 1 RU device that provides up to eight HD-SDI inputs and two HD-SDI auxiliary outputs to the Indigo AV Mixer. The input expansion is a custom version of the Grass Valley Acappella™ router controlled with the powerful external device controls of the Indigo mixer. The device connects to the Indigo mixer via Ethernet and standard BNC video cables and lets users cut and mix between eight sources directly from the buttons on the Indigo control panel. The HD expansion device also offers high-performance digital video and audio processing. Its video processing features include automatic input cable equalization. It supports the re-clocking of a data stream at all standard data rates, including 1.5 Gb/s, eliminating the jitter associated with long cable runs and previously processed signals. The HD Expansion unit can be customized via Web browser or Grass Valley NetConfig™ software.
