Manuel1975 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hi there, I have my own ArKaos Video server with the ledmapper option and I often mix different video resolutions in my stage designs. For example: I want to output 1 signal and split that in 2. Then: edit 1 of those to match the resolution, proportion and orientation of my led videowall and the other 1 to match the projectionscreen resolution proportion and orientation. I did read about the tv one C2-2200 and the Grass Valley Indigo AV Mixer and they seam to do the trick in the scaling department but do they it enable me to rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise and (custom) mask certain parts of the videosignal? (Also I think the grass Valley indigo video mixer is quite expencive.)Can anybody tel me more or have an idear for an other device I should look into? Ps. I DONT want to do the scale, rotate and mask actions in ArKaos because of performance isseus. I want dedicated hardware doing the job. Kind regards, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.elsbury Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Do you want something you can set and forget at the start of each gig, or do you want an option that allows you to scale and rotate "on the fly" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Set and forget would suggest something such as the Image Pro. Not too sure if it will rotate the image, and masking may need to be done via and additional input. I would expect it to provide blanking for top bottom and sides. However expect little change from £3k. For the level of control you want, it might be easiest to feed it into a second Arkaos machine via a capture card and process it there. If there is no live feeds then the latency may not be an issue, as I'm not sure of a piece of hardware that give all you ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 There are some 'issues' with the Indigo, whether these are a problem for you or not I'm not sure. This thread details it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Mawer Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 When the Kramer VP-729 is finally released - it will offer both scaling and rotation. Please send me a pm, and describe exactly what masking functions you require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
