 Eyeheight’s playout system consists of seven core units and is integrated with NDTV’s two existing Eyeheight presTX systems. |
The new system is integrated with NDTV’s two existing Eyeheight presTX systems, each comprising an MW-3 mix/wipe and DK-3 downstream keyer, plus an emergency controller centered on the FP-10 system set-up panel. All three systems are interfaced to the network’s in-house automation. Benchmark Microsystems, a broadcast systems integrator in India, negotiated the contract and will provide technical support from its New Delhi headquarters.
Eyeheight’s playout consists of seven core units: a 1U base configuration chassis; mix/wipe module; keyer; audio/voice-over module; internal cross-point; logo-store and dual-channel DVE. These can be configured as an automated A/B mixer or scaled up to a complete multichannel master control system with manual over-ride.
The base configuration chassis can house up to three independent channels. The chassis supports up to three keying modules with individual key, fill and background inputs plus dedicated preview output. A TK-10 control panel enables all keyers to be operated independently or in parallel. Key and transition parameters can be preset and stored in internal user memories.
Playout’s mix/wipe module provides a wide range of wipes with user-preset edge characteristics, audio-follows-video, audio only, video only, audio lead and audio lag. Transitions can be performed via manual T-bar, timed with manual activation, or fully automated.
Playout’s audio and voice-over module adds dual AES audio inputs, mono mixdown and channel swap. Optional motorized faders register automated changes in audio mixing level.
