"Most routing switchers require all sources and destinations to be the same format. If your input source doesn't match your output display, you need peripheral hardware to process and convert it before the router can do its job," explains Vista Systems' president Clark Williams.
"However, this is not the case with the Christie Vista URS-1608. You can do all your processing in the switcher itself and route it to any destination - super fast and easy. The Christie Vista URS-1608 packs an amazing amount of power in a very small package, so you can work with fewer wires and boxes and less rack space - and a lot less hassle."
As a matrix switcher that routes and processes, the Christie Vista URS-1608 can replace an entire rack of scalers, transcoders, interlacers, aspect-ratio converters and frame-rate converters with just one device. It handles any input-output combination of computer and video formats with ease, including analog/digital, interlaced/progressive, and high/low resolution. With built-in integrated source monitoring and sophisticated keying, the Christie Vista URS-1608 accepts sources from analog composite to digital 2560 x 1600 and seamlessly routes them to any destination display.
"The Christie Vista URS-1608 meets the routing and processing needs of a multi-format world in a single, powerful solution that is extremely fast and easy to use," says Williams. "Enthusiastic customers are already embracing our latest innovation."
