Video Processing and Flow

Video is processed in a number of blocks in the switcher. After video comes into the switcher, the frame synchronizers / format converters are applied (depending on the frame you have). At this point any required color correction is also applied. After input the video signal is routed through the crosspoint. The crosspoint can route any input to any output for straight switching, or to the video processor and DVE and back for video manipulation. Just before the video signal is sent to the output, the processing of the ancillary data is performed.
