PRODUCTS - BROADCAST - SWITCHERS & DVEs

Benchmark offers a range of Switchers and DVEs from Snell & Wilcox. Leading them is Snell & Wilcox's latest offering : The Kahuna multi-format SD/HD production switcher – the world's first.

Kahuna is more than a new generation of production switchers. It's a big new idea that redefines what is possible in switching.

Designed for fast-paced, live production environments, it combines a comprehensive and versatile feature-set with the most innovative signal processing capability ever seen in a switcher.

Kahuna is the world's first true multi-format switcher. It offers simultaneous High Definition and Standard Definition operation in the same mainframe, with the same control panel. Even more remarkably, thanks to an advanced new pixel-filtering technology called FormatFusion™, it allows you to integrate any SD material such as handheld camera feeds, graphics or archives into HD productions, seamlessly, without the need for upconversion.

Instead of giving you the facility of operating in either SD or HD, Kahuna goes much further by eliminating the distinction between the two.

Fully software upgradeable, Kahuna, can be installed initially in SD-only or HD-only form and, when required, converted instantly to combined, multi-format SD/HD operation with no additional installation requirement.
