Barco DCS-200 Seamless Presentation Switcher with Preview Output
This dual-channel seamless switcher features an independent preview output, allowing operators to view input sources before they are switched to the main screen output; this output can be configured to a resolution different from that of the main program output. In addition, users can adapt the preview channel to display a stored logo, the digital key source or the main Program output, effectively providing a second main output at a second resolution. Both DVI and HD-15 connectors are provided for the output, each of which provides the same signal at the identical timing.
The unit provides true seamless switching between different input sources while maintaining superb scaling quality. Its straightforward and simple operation makes it ideal for live events, boardrooms, hotel ballrooms, houses of worship, educational applications, training facilities and more.
The system accepts universal analog, DVI and HD/SD SDI input sources, converting them to a wide variety of formats. Output video is provided simultaneously in DVI and analog formats. Up to three images can be captured and stored for use as full-screen logos during your presentation. In terms of keying, the DCS-200 can also use the DVI inputs as luminance key sources, which enables you to key over any video source, and even transition seamlessly underneath the key.

• Yellow: The source is on program.
Effects Section
• FRZ: Instantly freezes the current image that is on program.
• BLK: Cuts the program to black
• KEY: The key source will transition to/from program, after the TAKE button is pressed
• TAKE: Transitions the selected source or KEY at the pre-selected rate.
Inputs
Six Analog Inputs via HD-15 VGA connectors
• Supports YPbPr, RGBHV, S-video and composite
• 10-bits/color sampling at maximum 170 MHz
