In other words, mixer gains capability for full-fledged luma keying using two video signals. Modification does not result in a loss of any significant functionality. Originally, the WJ-MX10 allows you to select background color of superimpose function in two ways: using the “back colour” button and selecting the color with the knob, or by using the “white” button. Once modification is made, the “white” button turns it on. Selection of any background color is still possible using “back colour” and the selection knob.” Inputs: Aaaa Outputs: aaa Features: aaa Notes: Self-feedback Is it capable of self-feedback, if so, describe the signal chain.

This problem is linked to aging components and affects many Panasonic mixers. Sometimes, just an adjustment of CT1/CT2 trimmers on the main board is required to restore proper operation. In other cases adjacent electrolytic capacitors have to be replaced. In the situation documented below, the defect disappeared after replacing capacitor C88 (channel B). After desoldering old capacitors it is necessary to clean the pcb - electrolyte leaking from damaged cap is conductive and may cause a short circuit resulting in missing color. To reach the underside of the mainboard, shielding cage must be desoldered & disassembled. Note: If you are looking for the Panasonic WJ-AVE3 , it is in the Video Effects section.

The software is more mature; and supports HDMI. Inputs: Inputs 1-3 are Composite BNC or HDMI (480p/59.94) Input 4 can be used as ONE of: Composite S-video HDMI (1080-59.94p) RGBHV (up to 1920x1200/60hz) (via 15 pin D-sub aka VGA connector) Component with an additional breakout adapter (resolution?)

When set to PAL, the rate is 50 Hz at underlined resolutions and 75 Hz at others.h The Interlaced/non-interlaced format for the HDMI output determines the type of output on the 15 pin D-sub connector. When an interlaced format is selected (on HDMI); Component is output on the DSUB15 connector. When a non-interlaced format is selected (on HDMI); RGB is output on the DSUB15 connector. Audio out on HDMI and USB (16bits/48 kHz / linear PCM) Features: Midi IN, MIDI Out/Through. Some MIDI Control BPM sync Does this have upscaling? Notes: Self-feedback Yes, although it’s complicated by the limited number of outputs. RGBHV to Component cable - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O8C6HM The V-4EX isn’t a native HD switcher. CH 1–3 are SD only (480i/576i) and the mixer de-interlaces + frame-syncs everything to an internal 480/576p bus. The HDMI output format (480/576p, 720p, 1080p) is just a final-stage scaler. So the lowest latency is when you match the bus: feed SD into CH 1–3 and set MAIN OUT to 480/59.94p (or 576/50p). Forcing 720/1080 adds an extra frame at the output. CH4 (HDMI) also costs ~1 more frame than CH1–3. Net: CH1–3 ≈ 2 frames, CH4 ≈ 3 frames at 60p. Using “only one input” doesn’t bypass the frame sync/scaler—the pipeline is always engaged.
