Easy Cut™ by Analog Way combines
the functions of a High Resolution Video Scaler
with an Audio Video Switcher. It is a state of the
art Scaler / Line Multiplier / Quadrupler /
Doubler which significantly increases Video
image resolution and brightness. 3 Computer
inputs are provided for direct display of your pre-
sentations or Internet applications. It also allows
Audio Stereo switching.
Easy Cut is fitted with 4 Video Inputs including
one RGB or YUV component on BNC. Easy Cut
outputs an Analog RGB HV Computer format on
an HD15 connector.
Easy Cut includes 2 switching modes: Seamless
or smooth switching. In seamless mode, the
computer output format is identical to one of the
3 Computer inputs, the one selected as the refe-
rence. It is possible to switch with a seamless cut
between this PC and any Video source.
Easy Cut features a non-volatile frame memory
that can be used as a “welcome “ or an “alert”
message. This frame can be acquired from any
Video input or it can be downloaded from a com-
puter via RS232 or optional IP connection.
The very high quality decoder of the Easy Cut
includes an advanced comb filter, an emphasized
“natural” color processing, a highly robust sync.
