Specifications

Tetra-VIO™ by Analog Way is a
highly versatile A/V Switcher / Converter /
Interface with 3 universal Inputs and 1 SD/HD-
SDI Input. It accepts a large range of formats,
from Computer to Video and HDTV, in Analog or
Digital format, and provides a large range of
connectors: BNC, HD15, DVI, mini DIN4, Cinch,
RCA. The output provides the same diversity of
formats, and the same type of signals and
connectors.
4 A/V Inputs: 3 Universal + 1 HD/SD-SDI
Each of the 3 universal inputs features an active
loop through (monitoring) for easy control of the
sources and accepts the following formats :

Tetra-VIO features 4 Analog Audio Stereo In and
1 Out and also one Digital SPDIF audio In/Out. It
allows embedding Analog and SPDIF Digital
Audio stereo signal into SD/HD-SDI with A/V
delay compensation. (Fs: 48kHz – 20/24 bits). It
also extracts and outputs SPDIF digital Audio
stereo signal from the SD/HD-SDI embedded
stream.
Tetra-VIO offers a high quality image thanks to:
- its new high performance true 10 bits video
path processing with automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pull
down circuitry,
- de-interlaced SD and HD TV format,
- auto adaptative pixel per pixel level motion
compensation,
- auto centering, clock, time base corrector,
- frame rate converter and follower and
- multi-level anti-flicker.
The image adjustments and device setup are
recorded in a non-volatile memory.
Tetra-VIO is a universal device with six functions
in one: Scan Converter, Scaler, Standard conver-
ter with TBC, Audio De/Embedder, Switcher and
Interface. Its high flexibility makes it essential in
complex installations. It is extremely useful in
solving signal compatibility issues at the last
minute. In addition to a powerful multi-format
Converter, Tetra-VIO is also a smooth and fast
Audio / Video Switcher offering many useful pos-
sibilities such as 500% Zoom, user programma-
ble EDID for DVI input, etc… The standard
RS232 connection and Gui allow a full remote
control of the device and also upgrade capability
to maintain the high value of your equipment.
Optional RJ45 is available for TCP/IP control.
