Features of This System
The DFS-900M Multi Format Video Switcher is a compact switcher
incorporating Digital Multi Effects (DME) functionality, and supporting both
SD and HD systems.
Multi-format support
The system supports 480i/59.94 and 576i/50 formats for an SD system, and
1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/59.94, and 720p/50 formats for an HD system.
You can change the format selection with a simple menu operation.
Extensible inputs and outputs
Along with the standard equipment of SDI inputs and outputs (8 inputs, 4
outputs), the following inputs and outputs are available when optional
expansion boards are installed.
• SDI inputs and outputs (four channels): BKDF-910/BKDF-960 (of the four

Advanced special effects
As standard features, the system provides two DME channels and six keyers:
four full-function keyers and two simple downstream keyers (DSKs). A further
maximum of six optional DME channels enables warp and other visual effects.
Multi-view function
The optional multi-view function allows the system to display multiple video
images on a single monitor, by splitting the screen into 4, 10, or 16 images.
Using the maximum of two multi-view channels, all input video (24 channels)
and program/preview output can be viewed simultaneously on just two
monitors.
Simple operations in GUI menu screens
You can connect a PC monitor and USB mouse to make system settings in GUI
menus.
