Grass Valley, Calif.-based signal routing provider NVISION has shipped its first NV5128-MC master control/routing switchers to broadcast clients al Hurra, the Arab-language satellite television channel, and CBS Television City, in Los Angeles.
 The NV5128-MC control panel provides full operational control of Master Control Switchers from a single panel or group of panels. Direct access to primary system functions includes source selection, transition control and audio monitoring. |
Designed to address the needs of television stations in the process of converting their existing analog infrastructure to digital, the NV5128-MC integrated master control/routing switcher is available as a stand-alone system or with a full-function hardware control panel.
The NV5128-MC control panel provides full operational control of Master Control Switchers from a single panel or group of panels. Direct access to primary system functions includes source selection, transition control and audio monitoring. LCD pushbuttons can be relabeled electronically for Preset/Program source selection, while a color LCD touch screen provides access to secondary system functions.
Housed in an 8RU frame, the NV5128-MC can accommodate up to 128 video/audio inputs and from one to four channels of digital master control, according to the company. The switcher is based on the field-proven technology of NVISION’s existing NV5128 multiformat router. Both of these products were developed by the same engineering team that pioneered such innovations as synchronous AES routing, digitally-processed time code routing, and large scale HD-SDI routing.
An HD version of the NV5128-MC will be unveiled at the upcoming NAB 2004 convention in Las Vegas.
