Pulse offers 10 direct inputs including two fitted with digital DVI and two fitted with SDI. In mixer mode, Pulse can display two live sources. Live layers can be customized with various attributes (borders, movements, zoom, cut, fade, wipe or slide). Pulse offers many live effects including keying and PIP animation. An integrated audio stereo switcher features eight inputs (six analog and two from embedded SDI) and one output.

Axion2 is a remote controller with completely redesigned architecture to better fill the needs of live applications. Axion2 is compatible with Analog Way's new generation of seamless switchers. The machines can be controlled either as stand-alone processors or in combination, including soft-edge blending configurations. Axion2 can control up to six independent screen configurations in different locations (single display or multiple projectors in soft edge-blended mode) and store up to 90 presets per screen configuration. Thanks to the new sequences mode, series of presets can be created into up to nine sequences.
