Specifications

CentriX™ by Analog Way is an 8
Universal Input Computer & Video Up/Down Mixer
Scaler Switcher featuring numerous effects (cut,
fade, PIP, title, mix) together with hi–res. logo insertion
and frame store functions. Fitted with 8 universal
inputs, it can be used as an 8 x 2 scaled matrix as well
as a mixer.
Native Matrix Mode
CentriX, when used as a a hi-res. matrix, allows to
switch any of the 8 inputs to one of the 2 outputs. The
inputs are scaled and can be displayed with different
resolutions on output 1 and 2.
Mixer Mode
CentriX scales all sources – Video and Computer –
and performs mixing and seamless switching transi-
tions between any 2 inputs. It also performs various
effects (PIP, fade, title, mix, cut). The 2 Main outputs
match the native resolution of any video-projector or
hi-res. display devices, and the Preview outputs allow
to monitor the sequences before they are displayed on
the main screens, avoiding errors during a presenta-
tion.
CentriX features the following effects: PIP, Fade, and
Title - see details of effects page 8.

Common Features in Matrix and Mixer Modes
CentriX provides a high quality image thanks to its
integrated digital decoder, improved 3:2 and 2:2 pull
down circuitry, auto-adaptative pixel by pixel 3D
motion compensation, Time Base Corrector, Frame
Rate Converter & Follower. Each input image control
can be individually set and stored in non-volatile
memory.
Logo Insertion and Frame Stores
True hi-res. 16 million color image defined either by
keying or image cut-out: The frame store and logo(s)
can be flashcaptured from any video or computer sour-
ces into a non-volatile memory. Up to 2 logos can be
allocated by input and positioned anywhere on the
screen. The frame store can be used as a welcome or
transition image while switching between 2 sources.
CentriX is specifically designed with a blank front
panel for hi-res. A/V presentation displays, conference
room installations, boardrooms and exhibition centers.
It offers a user-friendly interface and can be easily
controlled remotely & upgraded via its RS232 or
TCP/IP ports, or using the optional remote keypad.
The result is dynamic, glitchfree and astonishing.
