Multi-format Video Switcher

Easy operation and a diverse range of features for the expert or casual user.

The V-40HD is equipped with four input systems (Inputs 1 - 4 ). Each of these systems has three types of input connectors --- HDMI, RGB/Component, and Composite --- allowing you to connect a total of twelve video devices. For output, the V-40HD provides three systems: Output 1 ( HDMI/RGB/Component/Composite), Output 2 (HDMI/RGB/Component) , and Preview (HDMI).

Supports 1080p video signals - twice the rate of conventional HD and uses 4:4:4/10 - bit internal signal processing. Asserts all the vividness of high-realism, high-detail camera and computer sources.
*Output signal processing is 4:2:2/8- bit.

The V-40HD features an HDCP mode that lets you input and switch commercial digital video from sources such as Blu-ray Discs or game consoles encoded using HDCP digital copyright management technology. This lets you produce video with unrestricted freedom --- for instance, compositing a video feed from a Blu-ray Disc or tablet computer against a background from a live camera. Output to a display can be made via HDMI.
*Commercial use of content requires the permission of the copyright-holder.
*In HDCP mode, only DVI-D/HDMI output can be used. Use of Component and Composite output is not possible.
*The display or projector connected to DVI-D/HDMI output must support HDCP.

The V-40HD can input background music, narration, or other analog sound sources, mix and sync the video and audio, and then output the result via HDMI.
