Combining a traditional switcher with built-in monitoring, CG, and clip store into a Bigfoot Mobile cart, with all the media devices and accessories we have available is the Ultimate way to, "do your production thing".             

Broadcast Pix Systems are used worldwide by leading broadcasters as well as corporate, education, faith, mobile, entertainment, and government personnel for live productions. 

In a Bigfoot Cart the ability to quickly be switched from a "Single" to a "Dual" user mode is possible. The Broadcast Pix System's capabilities can be best utilized in a BIGFOOT CART for live road productions, local live productions or in-house productions that may be located around different rooms in a large facility. BIGFOOT is also perfect for "Organizing" and "Ergonizing" a tight space such as a small room in a facility, home, tiny booth in a high school, college stadium, or in a limited/changing space like a conference room, or hotel. 

The Slate 100/1000/2100/3000 units feature a superb professional control panel, custom keyboard, soft panel, touch screen or multi-view mouse as control options! Switcher operators will feel at home with a classic preview/program architecture, with 3 to 6 keyers, each of which can have a DVE box. The top half of the panel is a set of flexible device controls which can instantly control the built-in stores for clips and graphics, or control robotic cameras. The integrated multi-view monitor and intuitive panel enable a solo operator to create great looking television. Run it solo, and still gracefully add team members when you want them.


Examples of the Superior Integration in Slate 1000/2100 include:

  • Control panel instantly controls switcher, graphics, clips,...
  • PixButtons show the exact content on every source and key
  • Multi-view displays what is on every source and key, plus content libraries for each clip and graphic store
  • Clips and crawls can auto-start on transition to air
  • Memories recall a switcher move, exact clip, camera angle…
