This has two inputs and one output.  The output can be either of the two inputs, or a small version of one inputs overlayed in front of the other image at a particular location.

A video switcher, with 32 inputs and 4 outputs (of which 1 input doesn't work and the other is dodgy).  Any of the 30 working available inputs can be sent to any 1,2,3, or all 4 of the outputs.  Ideally we would like to replace this with a 32x8 switcher as this would simplify the vision path and make it more reliable and versatile by removing the need for DaVE P169 and VT 'P169', and the associated DA boards.

Input 5 brightens anything inputted to it, output B seems weak when trying to drive a monitor and Magic DaVE directly from the two output sockets.
'Input 5' brightens anything inputted to it, 'output B' seems weak when trying to drive a monitor and Magic DaVE directly from the two output sockets.
 
It may in fact be that Magic DaVE INPUT 2 (which would normally be fed from Output B of DaVE P169 for simplicity) is more fussy than the other three inputs about how strong the signal feeding it is.  This is something that may be worth investigation.  The only indication of this so far is a brief observation of strange behaviour while hurriedly setting up inputs for a show.
