(NAB Booth #C11001--April 21, 2009) Sony’s new BRS-200 switcher is designed for ease of use and system flexibility in live event and presentation applications. The switcher can be used in either standard- or high-definition configurations, and is ideal for a range of applications including staging, conferences, concerts and broadcast production.
“This switcher’s versatility and functionality make it the perfect production tool for single-person video operations,” said Mark Bonifacio, marketing manager for professional video at Sony.
The switcher has a multi-viewing function, allowing a single monitor to display all input signals, including preview and program via SDI and/or DVI-I outputs. This minimizes the number of displays required so users can check all pictures simultaneously on the same monitor.
The new switcher offers four SDI inputs/outputs and one DVI output as standard. Users can customize the system for different input configurations by installing several option boards. As a result, the BRS-200 can provide a maximum of eight SDI and one DVI-I inputs, and four SDI and two DVI-I outputs.
With these multiple inputs and outputs, the switcher enables image sources to be recorded on a deck and played, for example, on two monitors and one projector simultaneously.
The BRS-200 switcher can also control Sony’s BRC Series of cameras from a remote location. Pan/tilt/zoom, iris, and focus can all be controlled using the switcher’s joystick and dials.
The BRS-200 switcher is expected to be available in July at a suggested list price of less than $10,000.
