BROADCAST PIX SLATE 1000

Combining a traditional switcher panel with built-in monitoring, CG and clip store The Slate 1000 features a superb professional control panel. Switcher operators will feel at home.  The Slate 1000 includes all the many features of the Slate 100, plus the control panel makes it easy to expand to team use.  See workflow whitepaper. Classic Switcher Layout The grey portion of the panel has a classic layout, so traditional switcher operators will feel at home. Preview is on the bottom row, then program, then fill and destination. Program uses PixButtons so you always know what is on every source, even the exact name of specific clips or graphic, plus it’s shown on the monitor wall. The panel has 9 buttons per row, and you can shift for 18 total sources. A classic next transition section enables 3 keys to be in the transition, using a cut, mix or fade, and many wipes, DVE moves and even animated alpha wipes with audio. Pristine Keyers All Slate switchers feature keyers that are easier to fill with compelling graphics than any other switcher, thanks to tightly integrated graphic and clip systems. Three keyers are standard, each with a DVE for up to 3 picture in pictures. And 6 keyers and DVEs are optional. The DVEs can be squeezed, flown in, and have borders. The content of each keyer is shown on a PixButton and on the monitor wall, so you always know what is on each key. Enjoy the exceptional chromakey, for green and blue wall sets. The single standard chromakeyer gives you control over key softness and spill suppression. You can combine multiple source based chromakeys (option 140) with built-in clip or still stores for virtual sets. You can even add keys to an aux output with the PowerAux option. Device Controls The black portion of the panel can be assigned to a CG store, clip store, still store, camera control, a keyer, etc. Just press its device control button and the entire bank of controls is assigned, including: a PixPad with 12 PixButtons, 3 knobs, motion controls, a 3-axis joystick and display. These enable you to instantly and intimately control the selected device. PixButtons Unique PixButtons have computer displays built into the button. Each has an icon on top showing the device that is currently assigned to it. The number next to the icon tells you the channel of clip or graphic, or which camera is being controlled. The next two lines show the exact name of the content, which is automatically put on the button from their file names. PixButtons dynamically change during the production. This illustration shows a clip called River on clip channel 1. No other switcher does this.
