RING 22 – is first in a new line of professional video switcher equipment
from “DV-Lab”. New technology and new functions that become de-facto
standard for modern video switchers allowed us to design this new equipment line.

RING 22 design allows installing extra modules that extend its functionality.
This allows adapting it to a wide range of applications without paying for functions you won’t need.
