Focus Enhancements MXProDV Digital Video Mixer
Switcher/mixer option for Niagara Streaming Systems!

Finally
A real-time DV production tool that preserves your DV signal from start to finish. The MXProDV, with IEEE-1394 (FireWire™, i.LINK™) connections, is a versatile, easy to use switcher/mixer for both analog and digital video.

All DV, All the Time, In Real Time
What happens to your DV signal as you go through the editing process? Most non-linear systems convert the DV signal to another format for editing, then back to DV. MXProDV maintains the integrity of your digital signal from your DV camcorder or source deck all the way through to the record device.

And forget about rendering times. Focus Enhancements' proprietary DV technology produces digital effects in real time - no waiting - making it the ideal tool for both post-production and live applications. For speed, quality and versatility, MXProDV is unmatched!

The Best gets better
MXProDV raises the bar with real-time 10-bit 4:2:2 digital video and adding digital DV connections to a full complement of conventional analog inputs.
You can easily combine DV with your existing footage. Along with its two DV audio/video inputs, the MXProDV includes four S-video and four composite video inputs plus a full set of audio inputs.

The MXProDV's professional quality features include:

  • Over 500 eye-catching video transitions with curved and jagged edges
  • trailing effects
  • organic shape effects like circles, stars, and hearts
  • soft edges, color borders, and drop shadows
  • RGB color correction to compensate for minor lighting imperfections or slight color differences between sources
  • multiple picture-in-picture
  • two still-store (freeze) buffers with both field- and frame-freeze capability for still montages and single source (AxA) editing
  • configuration memory that allows you to store up to eight preset configurations and recall them with a single command
  • built-in chromakey and luminance key

There has never been a more complete DV and analog production solution!

Superior audio
We believe audio is as important as video. MXProDV produces synchronized DV audio, with CD quality. MXProDV's enhanced audio mixing capability provides on-screen slide controls for volume, along with level meters, so you can ensure that your audio levels are properly set. MXProDV supports the enhanced audio capabilities of the DV format, including 32 kHz 4-channel and 48 kHz 2-channel digital audio sampling.

It's all here - and then some
In the confusing world of video production systems, MXProDV shines as a simple, complete, and superior solution. No computers, no software, no installation, and no compatibility nightmares. Everything you need to mix professional quality DV and analog video is in one unit. It's DV All the Way with MXProDV.
