Sony DFS-900M
A multi-format (HD/SD) DME switcher in a compact, easy-to-transport form-factor.
Overview The DFS-900M is designed for live productions where there’s no need – or no budget – for a large production switcher. Bursting with features in a small, ergonomic package, the DFS-900 makes it easy to interface with HD cameras and other studio equipment, with HD SDI available throughout. The DFS-900M is ideal for: Small studios and production facilities Conference production Churches Universities and collages Small-to-medium broadcast operations It is designed to work with all types of input material. Built-in resizers integrate HD and SD video feeds without external converters, and (with the optional DVI/Composite board) the DFS-900M can connect directly to computer and consumer sources. The DFS-900M is a cost-effective HD/SD switcher for a very wide range of applications Two types of optional Control Panels • BKDF-901 1 M/E Control Panel • BKDF-902 1.5 M/E Control Panel	Product Code: DFS900M

FEATURES

Multi Format
Works natively HD for pristine quality productions but is equally at home with SD
Option for up to 24 inputs/12 outputs
Immensely configurable according to customers need and budget. Ideal for low-budget broadcast applications
Built in resizers
Easily integrate SD and HD material without any need for external converters: a potentially significant cost saving
(Optional) Multiviewer outputs
Fewer monitors needed to oversee the production. Provides an overall cost reduction. Makes it easier to set up and move
(Optional) DVI and Composite Inputs/Outputs
Computer and consumer products with DVI or Composite signals are easily connected to the DFS-900M
