Easy LIVE TV
 The
Slate 100 is a complete live video production studio that is so
affordable and easy to use that anyone can create great looking
live television. It includes a switcher, CG, Multi-View and clip
store.
So Easy to Make Great Looking Video
The switcher is
controlled from either the custom keyboard or the multi-view. If
you display the multi-view on a touch screen then you can just
touch the camera you want to bring it to preview. Touch the keys
to add a graphic. Then just touch preview to bring composition
to air. It’s so easy to learn that you can quickly teach a
novice to create great looking live TV.
The Slate 100 includes a custom keyboard version of the 1000’s
panel. It provides the tactile feel and fast-action switching
which many prefer in live production. And it can instantly shift
into normal keyboard mode for use with the CG and other
applications. It’s optional on larger Slate models.
Broadcast Production Quality
Unlike other integrated live video
production systems, the Slate 100 doesn’t compromise on
traditional switcher features:
- Pristine 10-bit video with support for 4
to 8 live SDI inputs and 10- bit conversion of analog
composite, S and YUV
- Non-stop on-air video even if the
workstation stops
- No surprises, as monitors and PixButtons
always show what content is on every source and key.
- Preview/program architecture in a
familiar layout on SoftPanel, or optional physical panel, or
drive the intuitive multi-view.
- Very low delay through the system
for live events
HD/SD or HD-ready
The Slate 100 HD model is the most cost
effective HD live video production studio. It is a fraction of
the cost of assembling an HD control room out of an HD switcher,
CG, clip store and multi-view. Slate is so well integrated the
one person can run it, and yet still create compelling live
television that looks like it was created by a team. Slate HD
I/O includes 1080i, 720p, SD, DVI and VGA. The Slate 100 SD is
HD-ready. Use it today in SD, with either SD SDI or analog I/O,
or a combination of both. Then whenever you want to upgrade to
HD in the future, you can upgrade your switcher by just changing
a board, for just $4,000.
