Ross Video announced at IBC the launch of the compact CrossOver series production mixer. Four models of the new production switcher will be released. CrossOver production switchers are targeted at mobile and other space-constrained professional production environments.

Other important applications for the CrossOver switchers include MCR branding for TV production and live mixing and on-set monitors and IMag screens.

CrossOver comes in four configurations. The CrossOver 6 supports 6

Multi-Definition inputs, 2 keyers and has 6 source selection buttons. The CrossOver 12 supports 12 MD inputs, 3 keyers and has 10 source selection buttons as well as a rugged positioner. CrossOver 6 SD and CrossOver 12 SD offer similar connectivity to their respective peer devices, in cost reduced, SD-only versions. Ross Video will also be offering an unprecedented MD upgrade migration program for the SD models.

All models feature intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces; the UltraChrome chroma keyer; dual animation stores; two 2D DVEs; four up/down converters; three SDI outputs, one down-converted analog and 3 aux outputs, all in a 2RU package.
