Complementing its pristine audio performance, the MC-12
includes two broadcast-quality video switchers. An ultra-wide
bandwidth component video switcher accepts analog component
or RGB video signals, while a composite and S-video switcher
accepts high-quality NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video signals. The
component video switcher can pass High-Definition TV (HDTV)
and Standard-Definition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to
pass video signals without alteration or degradation.
An unparalleled processor, the MC-12 represents a solid investment
with awesome power, limitless possibilities, and leading-edge
technological sophistication. Even the most demanding enthusiasts
will be impressed with its exceptional performance. Add to this
extensive expansion capabilities, and the MC-12 is a must-have
addition for any high-quality home theater.
