1-2. GENERAL INFORMATION
Tetra-VIO™ by Analog Way is a highly versatile A/V Switcher / Converter / Interface with 3 universal Inputs and 1
SD/HD-SDI Input. It accepts a large range of formats, from Computer to Video and HDTV, in Analog or Digital
format, and provides a large range of connectors: BNC, HD15, DVI, mini DIN4, Cinch, RCA. The output provides
the same diversity of formats, and the same type of signals and connectors.
4 A/V Inputs: 3 Universal + 1 HD/SD-SDI
Each of the 3 universal inputs features an active loop through (monitoring) for easy control of the sources and
accepts the following formats:
- TV: NTSC/PAL/SECAM, S.VIDEO, RGB or YUV, HDTV in HD-YUV or HD-RGB analog,
- Computer: RGB up to UXGA and 2K. Input 2 also accepts digital DVI signal.
The 4th input is dedicated to SDI & HD-SDI 10 bits with embedded stereo audio.
Genlock
Equipped with an Analog Genlock input with an active loop through. Tetra-VIO offers a choice between SDTV
Black Burst and Black HD-YUV. It allows genlocking of HDTV output signal on an SDTV Black Burst. User phase
adjustments are available for a perfect result.
Formats I/O
Tetra-VIO supports numerous input and output formats and signal types. These formats are:
HDTV
• 720p @ 60, 59.94 & 50 Hz

Output
The same format is available simultaneously on different outputs. For example: Computer formats are delivered in
RGB and in DVI-D at the same time, SD-TV formats are available in Composite, S.VIDEO, YUV and SDI, etc.
Tetra-VIO features 4 Analog Audio Stereo In and 1 Out and also one Digital SPDIF audio In/Out. It allows
embedding Analog and SPDIF Digital Audio stereo signal into SD/HD-SDI with A/V delay compensation. (Fs:
48kHz – 20/24 bits). It also extracts and outputs SPDIF digital Audio stereo signal from the SD/HD-SDI embedded
stream.
Tetra-VIO offers a high quality image thanks to:
- its new high performance true 10 bits video path processing with automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pull down circuitry,
- de-interlaced SD and HD TV format,
- auto adaptative pixel per pixel level motion compensation,
- auto centering, clock, time base corrector,
- frame rate converter and follower and
- multi-level anti-flicker.
The image adjustments and device setup are recorded in a non-volatile memory.
