The V-4 is a 4-channel video mixer made for portable or fixed installation use. It is ideal for use in nightclubs, places of worship, theatres, and other live performances. The V-4 video mixer also has MIDI in/out/through, for realtime or sequenced control of video sources with effects and transitions. Video mixer/switcher with 4-channel input The V-4 is equipped with 4 composite (RCA) inputs plus 2 S-video (Y/C) inputs. It offers scene transition of the 4 video sources with dissolve, wipes (about 200 variations), and switching. The V-4 outputs the same video source to all 3 jacks (Composite x 2, S-video x 1), for simultaneous monitoring and displaying, without resorting to external distribution boxes. The V-4 comes with over 200 transition effects of all types, including hard edge, luminance, multi-border, sliding, and soft edge types.

These processes enable smooth transitions and dissolves, and ensuring stable images all the time.

The V-4 also features composition effects such as picture-in-picture, chroma-key, and luminance-key. The effects are recallable by a single button press.

A V-4 innovation is that you chose to attach the fade however you like, either, vertically as standard for video mixer, o
