Panacea™ Clean/Quiet Switch

Dual-Channel Clean and Quiet Routing Switcher with Integrated Relay Bypass

Panacea™ Clean/Quiet Switch is the industry’s most powerful dual-channel clean video with discrete or embedded audio routing switcher — providing more fea-tures, functions and signal outputs than any similar product available today.

Two Clean and Quiet Outputs
The Panacea Clean/Quiet Switch provides two clean and quiet outputs for SDI and HD-SDI signals with embedded or discrete audio, along with six additional auxiliary busses to be used for utility routing. This unique feature permits routing of SDI and HD-SDI signals simultaneously in an HD-SDI wideband version of the clean switch, allowing full use of your clean switch investment while transitioning from SDI to HD-SDI. The two copies of both clean outputs can be combined with flexible partitioning options of the 16 inputs to fit any multiformat application.

Auxiliary Output Busses
Six auxiliary outputs are available for preview of both clean outputs, as well as additional outputs for secondary destinations.

Full, Embedded Audio Control
In addition, embedded audio quiet switching has been added to provide clean and quiet switching. Full control of the audio levels, audio fade options and channel assignment is provided for complete management of your embedded audio content.

Transitions for Video and Embedded Audio
A variety of video transitions with variable transition rates are available including dissolve, “V” fade, cut-fade, fade-cut and cut.
