from computers.
The V-44SW is compatible with HD (1080i/720p; component), SD (S-Video; component), and RGB signal
(VGA-SXGA) video formats, allowing you to handle video from HD cameras, SD cameras, and computers
simultaneously without concerns about input formats.
For more on the formats handled by the V-44SW, refer to p. 54 and p. 56.
The V-44SW offers two different modes for switching video, a “Direct mode” and a “Preset mode.”
● In Direct mode you can switch video with the press of a single button.
● In Preset mode, you can confirm the input video with the preview monitor before
switching the video.
You can check the video from all inputs in one preview monitor, all without affecting the final output video.
This two-step process, first confirming the input video and then switching the final output video, helps
prevent mistakes in switching.

■ Video Signals Handled by the V-44SW
HD An abbreviation for “High Definition,” HD is a generic term for television formats that, in comparison to
conventional TV formats, provide higher resolution and an improved angle of view, and deliver a
heightened sense of presence by means of large-screen. This is also referred to as HDTV.
Although there are a number of different types of HD, which can vary depending on the country where
the technology was developed, the V-440HD utilizes the standards recommended in BT.709-3,
established by the ITU in February, 1998.
RGB This format, used for output of video images with computers and other digital devices, uses video signals
whereby each of three main colors, red (R), green (G), and blue (B), are handled separately.
SD An abbreviation for Standard Definition, this refers to formats currently in general use (such as 480I), as
opposed to HD (High Definition).
