    Snell & Wilcox has released a compact new Kahuna 1 M/E HD multiformat production switcher, which will be among the new products it will feature at IBC2008.

    Designed for live production environments, the Kahuna 1 M/E offers all of the performance of the Kahuna production switcher, but at an entry-level price. With a 3RU mainframe that accommodates a 1-M/E card set, the Kahuna 1 M/E HD enables seamless, real-time mixing of SD and HD video in any format.

    The Kahuna 1 M/E HD offers a familiar user interface while delivering multiformat support for live mobile, studio and news productions. In addition, the Kahuna 1 M/E HD provides large input and output capacity with four full effects keyers — each with chroma keyer — and resize capabilities.
