The Granite 5000 system starts with a great HD switcher.
Video and Files
Mul-Denon SDI: Each SDI input and output can be individually set to 1080i, 720p or SD, to mix and
match I/O. Just aach a cable and Granite auto-detects the format and the indicator light tells what format
is connected. Connect both genlocked and asynchronous sources. One SDI input can be a cut signal from an
external CG or other device with key. The SDI outputs can be: program, preview, ME1 program, ME1
preview, clean feed, auxiliary of external sources, or a PowerAux to output any source including the built-in
clip or graphics store and add keys to it. Standard SDI I/O is 11 inputs and 6 outputs, which expands to 22
inputs and 12 outputs with the second I/O board on the 5000+ model.
Files: Granite features a revoluonary way to provide inputs of clip and graphic les. A high speed PCI
Express cable es together the Granite Switcher and Server. Seven channels of clips and graphics, with
key, simultaneously ow through it, which would need 14 BNCs on a convenonal switcher.
DVI: Two DVI outputs are great for sending 720p or 1080i to a projector or DVI/HDMI monitor.
The DVI outputs use standard HDMI cables, or oponal locking cable available from Broadcast Pix.
AutoAspect: Granite solves the many challenges of mixing 4:3 and 16:9 content by maintaining the nave
aspect rao of each element, while convenonal switchers stretch video when crossing aspect raos,
causing people to look too wide. With AutoAspect you can use a mixture of 16:9 and 4:3 inputs, and each
input, output, clip les and graphic les can be set to one of 4 aspect treatments: box, crop, 14:9 or none.
Prisne Keys
6 keyers are included which are accessible from either M/E. They have sharp clear edges and are very easy
to ll thanks to Granite’s ghtly integrated graphic and clip systems. Four keyers are full funcon with a DVE
which can be squeezed into a picture-in-picture, and own in. The other two are for graphics. The content
of each keyer is shown on a PixBuon and on the Mul-View, so you always know what is on each. One full
funcon keyer can be lled with an external video and key input. A standard chromakey for green and blue
wall sets and luma keys are also supported. Combine mulple chromakeys (opon 140) with the graphic
stores for virtual sets.
Exceponally Low Delay for Live Events
Exceponally low constant delay make Granite ideal for live events. Granite features a low delay of just one
frame, which is only 33ms (40 ms at 50Hz in “PAL”) with genlocked cameras. Other soluons typically have
variable delay where delay is added when performing many funcons, such as converng an input format,
converng an output format, converng an aspect rao, creang an eect like picture-in-picture, or adding
clips or graphics. Granite only adds an addional frame when, like convenonal switchers, either an
asynchronous input is used or when re-entering one M/E into the other.
