FireSwitch

Asynchronous, IEEE-1394 DV 4x1Switch
Producers Can Now Enjoy “Glitch-Free” Switching During Multi-camera Shoots!

FireSwitch enables the complex configuration of IEEE-1394 DV devices for exacting control, laying the foundation for unlimited creativity and productivity. FireSwitch is the industry’s first “glitch-free”, asynchronous, IEEE-1394 Digital Video (DV) switch. Up to four (4) independent, non-synchronized, DV sources can be connected as 1394 input devices. By issuing a switch command (via front panel buttons, GPI or remote RS-232 software), each isochronous DV stream input device is directed to the output port.

Utilizing nNovia’s Patent-Pending DV switching technology, FireSwitch will switch between any two input DV sources and automatically adjust its output frame rate to match that of the newly switched input DV source. With FireSwitch, switching between DV input sources occurs exactly at the frame boundary, not in the middle of a DV frame, so each and every switched DV signal is glitch-free, occurring without video data loss.

Live Multi-Camera shoots have long offered the greatest creative opportunities to Professional Videographers. Genlock-based analog switches have long been key tools for orchestrating exciting live video productions. But that is simply not possible using today’s DV camcorder technologies without displaying the loss of DV signal data, or “glitches”, during switches.

FireSwitch is the first asynchronous DV switch to overcome these technological barriers and give the Professional Videographer “glitch-fee” switching ideal for complex multi-camera shoots for use with DV Camcorders and other DV equipment. Now for the first time, switching between live DV sources without digital video signal loss is a reality with FireSwitch!
