Barco DCS 200 Dual Channel Switcher With Preview Output

Building on the quality and economy of the DCS-100, the DCS-200 adds an independent and highly flexible preview output to the system. The preview output allows operators to view input sources before they are switched to the main screen output, and the output can be configured to provide a different resolution than the main Program output. In addition, users can adapt the preview channel to display a stored logo, the digital key source or the main Program output –which effectively provides a second main output at a second resolution. Both DVI and HD-15 connectors are provided for the output, each of which provides the same signal at the identical timing.

Similar to the DCS-100, the DCS-200 is a Dual-Channel Switcher designed to provide true seamless switching between different input sources, while maintaining superb scaling quality at an affordable price. The DCS-200 is designed for straightforward and simple operations, which makes it the ideal seamless switcher for live events, boardrooms, hotel ballrooms, houses of worship, educational applications, training facilities and more.

The system accepts universal analog, DVI and HD/SD SDI input sources and converts them to a wide variety of input formats. Output video is provided simultaneously in DVI and analog formats. The DCS-200 also allows users to capture and store up to three images that can be used as full screen LOGOS during your presentation. In terms of keying, the DCS-200 can also use the DVI inputs as luminance key sources, which enables you to key over any video source, and even transition seamlessly underneath the key.
