ViViD is ideal for broadcasters who need to match a fixed delay in another signal path: this space-saving SDI variable video delay line is a 100mm x 266mm module which fits in Crystal Vision's standard frames and offers up to two seconds of delay.

ViViD has been designed to match system delays elsewhere in the equipment chain.

It is perfect for use in the virtual studio where it can be used to offset the delay caused by the graphics generators - delaying the camera by the same amount as the virtual set graphics so that the video feed and graphics both reach the chroma keyer at the same time.

ViViD can also be used to compensate for the delay of MPEG encoders or decoders in order to co-time transmissions, or for the delay caused by a satellite link. Alternatively it can be used in audio processing applications to match video to audio that's been delayed by Dolby E encoding or decoding.

ViViD124 gives up to 2.08 seconds (52 frames) of Standard Definition delay in 625 line and 2.0 seconds (60 frames) in 525 line.

With a minimum setting of approximately five microseconds, it is adjustable in steps of fields, lines and groups of six pixels, making it very easy to select the exact delay you require.

ViViD delays not just the picture but the entire video stream, with embedded audio and anciliary data staying with the associated video.

ViViD fits in Crystal Vision's standard frames (4U, 2U, 1U and desk top box) allowing it to be easily integrated with any products in the range - especially the Safire chroma keyers.

ViViD is used with the single slot RM01 frame rear module to obtain the maximum four reclocked outputs and additionally an SDI input loop-through.

The board can be controlled manually from board edge or remotely from active front panel, remote control panel, SNMP, the Statesman PC Control System or by using GPI.

Crystal Vision is very well-known for its range of space-saving video delays, offering a suitable delay for every application.
