the Indigo audio/video mixer offers
a complete feature set for controlling
multiple analog or digital video and
audio sources.
The Grass Valley Indigo AV Mixer is 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.
All-In-One AV Mixer
The Indigo audio/video mixer offers a
complete feature set for controlling
multiple analog or digital video and audio
sources. With a high-resolution card
installed, the mixer can simultaneously
process multiple sources: 12 standard-
definition (SD) sources, one scaled from
SD to high definition (HD), and two
selected from HD video or computer
inputs. It also upconverts to HD
and downconverts to SD—and even
simulcasts live SD and HD output.
The Indigo audio/video mixer 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 audio/video mixer is
simple enough for anyone to use.
While providing full production-mixer
capabilities, its menu-driven, touch-
screen interface can access powerful
presets to get a new operator up and
running in minutes. Operators can also
customize these presets and save them
for recall.
Video Processing & Effects
The Indigo audio/video mixer 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. The Indigo audio/
video mixer features more than 100 2D
and 3D modifiable transition effects.
It also supports two HD and two SD
luminance, chroma, or pattern keys.
Combining these features with the

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. The
mixer also provides phantom power
for up to four microphones. And it can
operate in audio-follow-video mode,
automatically fading audio up or down
when its associated video source is
taken to program.
The mixer also features delay tracking
that delays audio automatically to
coincide with any delay of video through
the switcher, as well as a user-defined
output delay. These features ensure lip
synchronization in live productions.
• SD-SDI audio de-embedding and re-
embedding
• Four-band parametric equalizer and
motor-driven audio faders
• Simple audio-follow-video mode
• Intelligent audio-delay management
for live production lip sync
