Wireless Switcher From Hitachi

Grant's Perspective on the Hitachi MS-1 Multifunction Switcher.

We have an event in Winnipeg (January 18) and Edmonton (February 8) and I'm really looking forward to seeing the new MS-1 Multifunction Switcher. It is so new we do not have any information as it has not been approved for sale by the US Government (wireless regulations).

All I have is the text that our friendly Hitachi rep sent:

Hitachi's MS-1 Multifunction Switcher

I can't wait to see it in action!

Roland V-1600HD New Multi-Format Video Switcher

Grant's Perspective on ... the Roland Systems Group new product demonstration night.

John and Galen from the Roland Systems Group were in Winnipeg this week to demonstrate a raft of new products.  One of them was the V-1600HD, a multi-format video switcher. There are 16 inputs plus USB memory with built in scaling and frame sync. This all-in-one switcher even includes a picture-in-picture monitor. The switcher accepts multiple input formats and generates six types of output formats.

I recommend that you click on the link to the V-1600HD product page and have a look at the interactive overview that graphically outlines the product best. I posted a screen capture of the interactive overview below, mouse over the features and an explanation appears.

While Roland is well known in the musical instrument market, their new line up from the Roland Systems Group is sure to get noticed.
