It offers unmatched 10-bit digital 4:2:2 video quality as well as a S/N ratio over 60 dB and a video band- width of 5.5 MHz. It has over 500 digital video effects and transitions including dissolves, trailing effects and multiple picture-in-picture. There are shape wipes, soft wipe edges and easy to use ‘banks’ of effects with user-defined favorites. All shape effects can be enhanced with soft edges, colored borders and drop shadows for 3-D like impact. Frame synchronizer and dual-field infinite-window time base corrector (TBC) allow clean transitions, including the ability to hold an image frozen through a transition. Unique preview screen shows miniature copies of all four inputs in your choice of formats and sizes, so you can work with just one or two monitors. Digital effects include freeze, black and white, negative, mosaic, paint and flip. Has a chroma keyer and a color corrector that remembers settings for each channel. Built-in audio mixer includes a special background music VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING feature that lets you manipulate audio tracks independent of video. The MXProDV adds proprietary DV (IEEE1394) input/output making it a versatile, easy to use, switcher/special effects generator for both analog and DV video signals—a real-time production tool that preserves DV signals from start to finish.
