Bryan Says Keep in Mind…
The Synergy 100 is a single M/E System with 3 Keyers, 16 Serial Digital Inputs, 12 GPI Inputs, Preview Overlay, 5 Matte Generators, 100 Event Global Memory System, Chroma Keying in Key 1 & Key 2, 2 Pattern Generators, 8 Untimed Aux Busses, 16 Tallies, and Disk Drive. If you were to buy this on its own, you’d also get a ten-meter control cable, system manuals, and a three-year transferable warranty. You can also customize your control panel to match your facility. The Synergy 100 control panel comes in either Classic Black, Tech Silver, Sport Yellow or Cool White.
Kit 1
The Squeeze & Tease Warp option for the Synergy 100 gives you the extra production power of a 10-bit, dual-channel 3D DVE for dynamic "warp" effects. You get 3D effects, including Page Turns, Melts and Ripples, plus a Still Store for up to 30 (full frame) or 512 (partial frame) stills, a positionable light source, an Object Builder and Mosaic, Posterization, Colorizing and Old Film effects. A less expensive option lists for $17,999.
Kit 2
This is your standard definition Directors Dream package. The clean feed provides a second "program" output for bilingual or live-to-tape productions. It’s also commonly used in the recording of shows for later airing without "call in" phone numbers inserted.
Kit 3
This kit builds SD and HD power into your edit suite. You choose your format and Synergy MD adapts. The 3 channel Global Store (an onboard networked still store) is a standard feature (it sits on your graphics network), making integration of still graphics into a live production a breeze.
