Go, Spyder, go.
There’s a reason why Spyder is the world’s most powerful video processor. In a word, versatility. When it comes to dynamic visual effects, there’s almost nothing Spyder can’t do:
- Supports up to 32 independent windows, 16 mixers, or any combination in between
- Adapts perfectly to widescreen (edge-blended), single and multi-screen discreet applications
- Permits unrestricted window and picture-in-picture (PIP) placement
- Allows any input to operate as a Native High Resolution Channel, Scaled PIP, Scaled Background, or Key Channel
- Switches inputs easily from any mode during normal operation, making all Spyder Inputs fully capable (not dedicated purpose)
- Adds inputs, outputs and pixel real estate with powerful expansion capabilities
On a Spyder screen, you can see forever.
Spyder achieves stunning clarity and brightness in part because it has three times the pixels of any other presentation system. You can use the same input channels across more pixels, and you can view them through multiple outputs. The Integrated Operators Monitor allows you to see what the audience sees and preview what they will see next, all on a single monitor. Also, the system’s resolution independence allows you to use multiple projectors to increase pixel space and resolution beyond what any single display device could handle.
