It offers an integrated video switcher, audio mixer, and teleprompter that simplifies production and allows a single operator to run an entire newscast. It also comes standard with the Grass Valley QUICbox programmable tactile-interface panel.
The Ignite HD system can be purchased with the fully integrated CameraMan HD robotic camera system and accompanying SHOT Director HD robotic camera controller.
