Panasonic AG-MX70 8-Input Professional Digital A/V Mixer
This professional digital A/V mixer is a 2-bus, 8-input video switcher, multi-functional digital video effects unit with high-end performance, and an audio mixer in a single compact unit.
It provides broadcast-grade 4:2:2:4 digital component picture quality, more than 600 effect patterns and a 30-frame graphics buffer for roll, crawl, and logo animation using title files downloaded from a PC.
A large LCD panel with a matrix menu helps assure quick, easy operation. Offering optional 3D video effects and SDI interface, this A/V mixer is ready for full-fledged digital post-production.
This versatile unit is right at home when connected to 25 Mbps DVCPRO VTRs in a digital editing system, or when used as a switcher either in the studio or at live events.
