The Analog Way Prima SMS720 is a professional-grade seamless matrix switcher designed to handle complex multi-source video presentations and show control in demanding environments such as broadcast facilities, control rooms, live events, and high-end corporate installations. As part of the Series 7 platform, it features a 7x2 matrix configuration, meaning it accepts up to seven independent video inputs and provides two simultaneous, independently controllable program outputs. Its core strength lies in its ability to perform seamless, glitch-free switching between any input on either output, allowing for dynamic content management without blackouts or interruptions, which is critical for live productions and mission-critical displays. The switcher supports a wide range of input and output resolutions, from standard definition up to 4K, with advanced scaling and processing on every channel to ensure all sources are optimally formatted for display.

Equipped with powerful onboard processing, the SMS720 offers a comprehensive suite of features for creative and technical control. This includes picture-in-picture (PIP) capabilities, allowing a secondary source to be overlaid on the main program; dynamic transitions with various wipe patterns; and a multi-viewer output that can display all connected sources on a single monitor for easy monitoring. Each input features independent color correction, aspect ratio control, and cropping tools, enabling the operator to fine-tune each source for a perfectly cohesive output. The switcher is designed for both manual operation via its front-panel controls or an optional remote panel and for integration into automated systems via serial, Ethernet, or contact closure control, making it adaptable to various operational workflows.

Built for 24/7 reliability, the Prima SMS720 is housed in a robust 1U rack-mountable chassis with dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies, ensuring maximum uptime in critical applications. Its modular input/output design allows for flexibility in signal types, commonly supporting HDMI, DVI, SDI, and VGA connections. With its combination of matrix flexibility, seamless switching, advanced processing, and resilient design, the Analog Way Prima SMS720 serves as a reliable and versatile cornerstone for professional video systems where smooth, reliable, and high-quality source management is non-negotiable.
