Ah, they were popular little mixers. I have one too. The in-built digital frame synchronizer was handy, meaning that you could mix signals from consumer/prosumer devices that didn't have the ability to genlock. I've used it just for that in some cases. I'd run the non-lockable inputs to the MX, and then take the output into my main mixer. With the MX providing the master sync for the other gear to genlock to. There was also a popular modification to the superimposer... As standard it can only overlay background colour (selected from the rotary switch on the far left of the console) or Black / white (selected via the buttons in the superimpose section). That was okay for some 'vintage' video effects or for overlaying titles onto video. The mod was to replace the white (or black) button with one of the video busses. This then meant that you could luma-key one video source over the other, and if you wanted to use the white (or black) you could still select it via the background colour. It became quite popular in the "VJing" world. Also handy as a downstream keyer. I think I've got a full service manual for it somewhere, and I've certainly got details of the modification. I'll dig them out and email them to you mate.
Thanks very much. I was hoping that I could move a video image from input 1, around the screen with the positioner and increase and decrease the size of it. So for example, film someone against a green screen and super impose them onto video feed 2 whilst being able to decrease there size. Guess I was expecting to much lol. Would.love to be able to do those kind of old school croma key super impose FX. I need to find out what kind of vision mixer I need for that. I have been playing with the video feedback. Got some very interesting results.
THANK YOU! I was looking for what the back connectors were and they are BNC. I need to convert them to RCA Female (I recently acquired one of these), so this is perfect.
