card that plugs right into Synergy, for extra critical chroma keying requirements.
• Networked Still and Clip Server. Imagine hours of video storage, virtually unlimited
stills, and animations all playing out with their companion key channels. Next, combine
live video and key capture with Ethernet drag and drop capability, and you have the
perfect marriage of video and networkability. Even better, this solution comes bundled
with Synergy’s powerful Video Server Control.
• VTR Control. Select a VTR on the PST bus, display its current time code on the
preview monitor, roll it from the transition area, and take it to air. Fast forward, rewind,
and cue to time code are also available at the touch of a button on the control panel.
• Video Server Control. Select, play, and monitor server clips by name right from the
Synergy 2 control panel. The clip menu keeps track of clips and allows instant recall and
cue.
• Audio Server Control. Controls the DigiCart

audio server. Dial up the desired clip
and see the name and duration. Use a Custom Control macro button to link audio clips
to a switcher or DVE transition.
• Router Control. Synergy 2 can connect to several different routers, and even several
different brands of routers, simultaneously. Any number of the 64 inputs can be assigned
as a router input, and setup is fast and easy with our router control menu.
• Serial Tally Interface. This option enables Serial Tally Interface using industry
standard protocols to Under Monitor Display and Tally Systems.
• Peripheral Bus II Interface. This option provides support for Thompson GVG
Peripheral Bus II Protocol for external device integration. Coordinate the store and
recall of the settings of some still stores, CGs, and device controllers with the store and
recall of your Synergy 2 settings.
• Still Store (Aprisa
∗
) Interface. Access any still or clip on your Chyron Aprisa directly,
through any of Synergy 2’s serial ports.
• Audio Mixer Interface. There are two options available, depending on the number of
inputs on your audio mixer. Large or small mixers can be controlled serially from your
Synergy 2 panel, making an integrated A/V production possible.
• Robotic Camera System Interface. Pan, tilt, zoom, and more, directly from your
Synergy 2 control panel.
• Editable Custom Control Macros. 17 macro buttons (shiftable to 72) have been
positioned close to the operator for powerful single touch control. Recall any
combination of switcher memories, button pushes, and external device control. The
time saving Custom Control editing feature allows you to display the contents of the
macro directly on the switcher menu, and insert, delete, or modify events as desired.
• Two Pattern Generators per MLE - Standard. The Synergy series comes standard
with a primary pattern generator for wipes and PST PATT 1 and a secondary pattern
generator for PST PATT 2. The primary generator comes equipped with extensive
traditional, rotary, and matrix wipes.
• Fully Featured “Program/Preset”. We didn’t skimp when we designed this
switcher. The bottom MLE, normally referred to as the Program/Preset area, has full
effects capability including complete wipes and dual DSKs with chroma keys and preset
