The Grass Valley™ Professional Line of products is the next generation of solutions for audio/video professionals, helping you create and deliver broadcast-quality presentations while streamlining your investments in personnel and technology.

A key component of this line is the Grass Valley Indigo A/V mixer, a new class of high-quality, multi-format audio/video mixer. Combining features normally found in video production switchers, AV presentation mixers, and audio mixers, it is a powerful, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate platform for live-presentation environments.

A l l - I n - O n e AV M i x e r

The Indigo platform offers a complete feature set for controlling multiple analog or digital video and audio sources. With a high-resolution card installed, it is designed to simultaneously processes 15 sources: 12 SD, one scaled up from SD to HD, and two selected from HD video or computer inputs. It is also designed to upconvert to HD and downconvert to SD—even simulcast live SD and HD output. HD and I/O scaling support are scheduled to be available in Q1 2007.

The Indigo platform also manages the mixing and timing of audio sources, ranging from unbalanced analog to AES/EBU signals. And it seamlessly combines live, high-resolution computer-based media and presentation content with real-time video and audio materials.

F i t s A n y S k i l l L e v e l

The Indigo AV mixer is simple enough for anyone to use. While providing full production switcher capabilities, its menu-driven touch screen interface can access powerful presets to get a new operator up and running in minutes. A senior operator can also customize these presets and save them for recall when needed.

V i d e o P r o c e s s i n g a n d E f f e c t s

The Indigo platform features numerous 2D and 3D transition effects that you can modify and save, along with all other layout data, into its E-MEM preset storage banks. Indigo keyers include luminance and chroma keys.

A d v a n c e d A u d i o M i x i n g

Supporting eight stereo audio input channels from a selection of digital and balanced or unbalanced analog sources, each Indigo audio channel has a four-band parametric equalizer and may be

controlled by a motor-driven fader. The mixer also provides phantom power for four microphones. And it can operate in audio-follow-video mode, automatically fading audio up or down when its associated video source is taken to program.

The mixer also features delay tracking, delaying audio

automatically to coincide with any delay of video through the switcher, as well as user-defined output delay. These features ensure lip sync in live productions.

H i g h I n V a l u e a n d Ve r y A f f o r d a b l e

The Indigo mixer offers a number of economic benefits. Its competitive price, expansive functionality, and feature set ensure that you will no longer need separate—and often more expensive—production switchers and audio-mixing devices to get the job done.

SPECIFICATIONS

Coupled with the platform’s ease-of-use features, this high-function design minimizes the number of operators necessary to deliver powerful, highly pro-fessional presentations for business, government, religious, and other audio/video productions.

A u t o m a t e d P l a y b a c k , D e v i c e C o n t r o l

The Indigo platform’s integration of machine control automates functions through memory presets that have previously required a dedicated operator. You can control external devices via RS-422 or Ethernet connections using GPI, BVW, or AMP protocols.

Particularly powerful is the Indigo mixer’s ability to control Grass Valley Turbo iDDRs. Menus on the mixer’s touch screen emulate those featured within the iDDR’s control panel to streamline setup, recording, clip management, and playback directly from the iDDR.
