This feature is called 'visual routing' and it allows you to scroll through the router destinations or sources and see the connections as video on the LCD screen as the labels updates. The LCD screen can also display video from the video inputs or even outputs. The LCD screen can display nice large labels and the routers include over 10,000 separate unicode characters so they can handle non roman labels such as Japanese, Chinese and more. The control panel includes buttons to direct select a crosspoint, a spin knob for scrolling router cross points as well as a 'take' button.

Also includes Ethernet for remote control and a fully customizable software development kit for Mac and Windows. You also get revolutionary new visual routing with the unique spin knob control, push button panel and the built in LCD screen. Ideal for larger workgroups and mobile broadcasting, it includes advanced 6G-SDI connections so you can simultaneously connect and route any combination of SD, HD and Ultra HD video all on the same router at the same time.
