Feature Sheet
The Production Playout Center (PPC) is designed to handle a variety of
production control room environments. We worked with broadcast leaders heavily
involved in both news and sports to develop a server playout application that
goes far beyond other available products. The Production Playout Center has
three core modules (detailed below) that fit into any type of production
environment from scripted news to on-the- fly live productions. The overall
theme behind this controller is “Speed To Air”. The PPC has built-in Fast-Cue
technology, live MediaBase™ updates and configurable shortcut keys that allow
you to get your material on-air in record time. Media preparation tools are also
on board to allow the operator to quickly turn live recordings back around on a
playout channel while the recording is still underway. Tally indicators in all
three playout modules keep the operator in the production with live notification
of which channels are on-air. More details on each playout module are listed
below.
Newsroom Script List:
The scripted playout module allows an operator to control four server channels from a single playlist. The software allows four playlists to be running simultaneously. Configurable colors and grid layout provide a custom look. The playlist allows for nonlinear control so the operator is not boxed into the playout order. Full tally support from the production switcher ensures a flawless production.
Shot Selector:
The Shot Selector module is designed for live unscripted playout. Dual or single MediaBase™ views allow for quick access to any piece of media. Eight server channels can be loaded and played backed via the GUI and/or shortcut keys. Bank storage along with Fast-Cue technology allows for quick access and recall within longer media clips. Shot Selector provides on-the-fly stacking of a second ID in the cue. Stacking permits the second clip to become the active clip as soon as the currently loaded clip ends. Full interactive tally status is known by the operator to avoid accidents. MediaBase™ searching and filtering is fully supported and allows the operator to be in two places at the same time. One optional jog/shuttle knob with T-bar controller has access to all eight server channels with focus control. The Shot Selector module is the module of choice for any unscripted productions.
Quick Pick Fast Replay:
The Quick Pick Fast Replay module is designed for fast turnaround of multi points within multiple media ID’s. This module allows for the playout operator to quickly select a number of shots (partial ID’s) and create a playlist for immediate playback (in game editing). This module supports two lists running at the same time (preview and program). Bank saving and recall allows the operator to jump around from playlist to playlist in a flash. Bank sharing is also supported amongst more than one Production Playout Center. The playlist can also be exported as EDL’s directly to Velocity™ or most third-party editors. As with all of the previous modules, full dynamic slow-motion along with clip sync / protect is also supported. When there is no time for an edit suite, the Quick Pick Fast Replay module is a lifesaver.
