Modular interfacing and conversion

Greater than the sum of the cards

Enjoy reduced cost-of-ownership from a system that delivers unrivaled functionality, density and flexibility. Just give us your technical requirements, and we’ll show you how Synapse can deliver potentially dramatic savings againstcomparative solutions.

1 The industry’s most versatile system

One form factor and three space-saving frame sizes – all cooled to perfection and offering reliable operation in the busiest of broadcast environments. The rack controller at the heart of the system is the gateway to our huge choiceof cards. Features include dual redundant central genlock, back-up and restore of user settings. Setup and monitoring is via free-of-charge software, local control panels or remote control. SNMP support is optional.

2 Extremely broad & ever growing range of cards

Over 150 exceptional processing modules are available now, with many more in development– each designed for the most demanding application, and providing you with local control of settings/alarm monitoring.

3 Unmatched functionality per card

Featuring leading-edge design, every card brings you more functionality, more condensed, than ever. Especially in the larger projects, the multi-functional feature sets give an unmatched cost-efficiency. Take a look at f.e. TWINS, our smart, double-density modules, to see our optimized real-estate in action.

4 Unique architecture

Synapse’s daisy-chain bus reduces labor and costs, whilst improving signal integrity and overall performance. For your engineering ease, all cards are color-coded by function group, and there’s no need for dual-width connector panels (except on our high-end format conversion range). Optional fiber I/Os, with CVBS outputs provided via I/O-panels.
