High-resolution image combiner for simulation, command, and control

RGB Spectrum in Alameda, Calif., is introducing the SynchroMaster 555 overlayer/keyer that combines images from two high-resolution computer sources or image generators into one composite image. The two computer signals-one foreground and one background-are digitized, synchronized, and combined at resolutions as fine as 1920 by 1200 pixels. The unit, which supports one dual RGB or DVI channel and a second RGB channel, can synchronize and combine signals of different line and frame rates and interlacing formats. The combined output signal can be RGB or DVI. Using a single chroma-key technique, the background signal is visible through the foreground signal wherever the foreground signal falls within a specified color range. Either channel can be configured as the foreground or the background signal. The SynchroMaster 555 is for simulation, console displays, command and control, and weapons control systems.
