The Grass Valley™ Professional Line of products
is the next generation of solutions for audio/video
professionals, helping you create and deliver
broadcast-quality presentations while streamlining
your investments in personnel and technology.
A key component of this line is the Grass Valley
Indigo A/V mixer, a new class of high-quality,
multi-format audio/video mixer. Combining features
normally found in video production switchers,
AV presentation mixers, and audio mixers, it is
a powerful, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate
platform for live-presentation environments.
Video Processing and Effects
The Indigo platform features numerous 2D and
3D transition effects that you can modify and
save, along with all other layout data, into its
E-MEM preset storage banks. Indigo keyers include
luminance and chroma keys.
Advanced Audio Mixing
Supporting eight stereo audio input channels from
a selection of digital and balanced or unbalanced
analog sources, each Indigo audio channel has
a four-band parametric equalizer and may be
controlled by a motor-driven fader.

power for four microphones. And

and other effects
The Indigo platform offers a
complete feature set for controlling
multiple analog or digital video and
audio sources. With a high-resolution
card installed, it is designed to
simultaneously processes 15 sources:

12 SD, one scaled up from SD to HD,
The mixer also features delay
and two selected from HD video or
tracking, delaying audio
computer inputs. It is also designed to upconvert
automatically to coincide with any delay
to HD and downconvert to SD—even simulcast live
of video through the switcher, as well as
SD and HD output. HD and I/O scaling support are
user-defined output delay. These features
scheduled to be available in Q1 2007.

The Indigo platform also manages the mixing and
timing of audio sources, ranging from unbalanced
analog to AES/EBU signals. And it seamlessly
combines live, high-resolution computer-based
media and presentation content with real-time video
and audio materials.
Fits Any Skill Level
The Indigo AV mixer is simple enough for anyone
to use. While providing full production switcher
capabilities, its menu-driven touch screen interface
can access powerful presets to get a new operator
up and running in minutes. A senior operator can
also customize these presets and save them for
recall when needed.

Affordable
The Indigo mixer offers a number of
economic benefits. Its competitive price,
expansive functionality, and feature
set ensure that you will no longer
need separate—and often more
expensive—production switchers
and audio-mixing devices to get
the job done.
Particularly powerful is the Indigo mixer’s ability
to control Grass Valley Turbo iDDRs. Menus on
the mixer’s touch screen emulate those featured
within the iDDR’s control panel to streamline setup,
recording, clip management, and playback directly
from the iDDR.
