Already a Synergy SD owner? If so, you are already half way to a multi-definition switcher.
Synergy SD control panels can connect directly to the new MD chassis, providing a
smooth and cost effective upgrade path to multi-definition while maintaining a consistent
user interface and operational feature set.
Des gned fo Live
Synergy MD retains its heritage as a switcher designed for live news, live sports, and live
production. At the center of the action, it is important that the switcher be powerful and
versatile, yet maintain its ease of operation. This frees the operator to concentrate on the
programming instead of the equipment, delivering a cleaner more professional production.
