Overview
Compact and versatile, the BG-HDVS42U HDMI production switcher provides users with a powerful set of features designed to deliver professional-quality results. With full audio mixing capabilities, multiple transition options, graphic overlays, PC software utility, and USB-C program output, the BG-HDVS42U provides high-performance and tremendous value.
Connectivity and Features
The BG-HDVS42U’s four HDMI inputs support resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz. Video outputs include one HDMI program output, one HDMI multiview output, and one USB type-C output. Audio can be de-embedded from all four HDMI sources and mixed with the two 3.5mm analog inputs. Each audio channel can be delayed to ensure proper sync with the video signal. The mixed audio is embedded to the HDMI and USB-C program outputs. The DB-15 Tally connection provides support for compatible systems.
Control
The BG-HDVS42U includes a full-featured PC control utility, offering enhanced access to all functions including switching, mixing, luma and chroma key, PIP, and POP. DSK and Logo overlays can also be controlled.
A variety of transition effects include such as wipe, mix, and dip. The integrated media library comes with 49 default patterns, 16 imported images, 16 captured images, and two-color generators. Graphics can be imported and overlayed using this library, enabling operators to utilize their own custom logos and overlays for video output.
