Description of Network Still and Clip
Server
S4MDX-016-250-P
100 hours of clip storage at 12 Mb/s MPEG-2
compression for PAL standard
The following features are included in all of the above:
• Virtually unlimited still storage, incorporating both key and fill
• Video animation playout with synchronized key and fill
• Animated logo playout with synchronized key and fill
• 2 dedicated playout channels
• 1 record/play channel for live capture and/or additional playout
• Ethernet connectivity allowing drag and drop of stills and clips over a network
• Included Synergy Video Server Control Interface
This option is the result of a collaborative effort between 360 Systems and Ross Video to
provide a comprehensive networkable, high storage, clip and still store system solution.
Note that S4MDX-903: Video Server Control is included with this option and does not
need to be purchased separately. Any number of control panel ports are now activated to
control this and any other video server that can be controlled using VDCP (Harris/Louth)
Protocol.
Unlike other systems on the market, this solution allows totally synchronized key and fill
playout of clips, animations, and stills. Add the ability to drop in graphics and
animations over a network using simple MPEG or Targa files, and this becomes an
extremely practical and attractive package.
MD-X Inputs, 16 Additional S4MDX-020
The Synergy 4 MD-X comes standard with 16 multi-definition serial digital inputs plus re-
entries. All digital inputs can be used direct to air, as key alpha channels, or as chroma key
sources.
Additional inputs can be purchased in groups of 16 up to a maximum of 96 multi-
definition digital inputs. Therefore, quantities of 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, or 96 inputs are
possible.
Inputs can be freely assigned to any panel pushbutton or shifted pushbutton. They can
also be “hidden” and accessed only as alpha channels or they can be “locked out” if they
are not used. Note that if S4MDX-x05: Mnemonics for MLE Sources are purchased,
different shows can use completely different sets of inputs optimally arranged on the
control panel with labeling that follows.

in the MD-X frame.
