Analog Way builds on LiveCore

Following the introduction of NeXtage 16 and the SmartMatriX Ultra, Analog Way has launched the Ascender 32 and Ascender 48 based on the LiveCore platform.

The two multi-screen seamless switchers are equipped with 32 and 48 scalers respectively, for which both models offer 12 seamless inputs and 42 input plugs: six HDMI, nine DVI-I, three DisplayPort, 12 3G/HD/SD-SDI and 12 universal analogue. The devices can handle any source from composite video, up to 2560x1600, and outputs a variety of formats, including HD-TV and computer format up to 2560x1600 and 4K.

Like other LiveCore-based systems, Ascender 32 and Ascender 48 include an independent dual-link output for monitoring purposes, with a live source mosaic layout. The products deliver varied display configurations to adapt to almost any application.

In addition to a native background layer, up to four true-seamless scaled layers per output can be displayed through the Ascender 32, or up to six true-seamless scaled layers per output for the Ascender 48. All layers can be controlled individually in time and transition, including 50 logos and 50 frames that can be stored in the memory bank. These are uniformly controlled and can be fully resized for which the Ascender 48 offers advanced layer management.

When an output is disabled, its layers can be shifted to another output offering higher flexibility. Up to two Ascender 32 or Ascender 48 units can be linked, for which the inputs and outputs are shared and added, resulting in 24x8 scaled seamless matrix systems with two live mosaic previews.

Ascender 32 and Ascender 48 can be controlled directly from the front panel through a TFT colour display, or through the web-based Remote Control Software (Web RCS) specifically designed for the LiveCore platform.
