    Introduction The Broadcast Pix™ Slate™ 1000G is a live, integrated production system that incorporates a Production Switcher, Multi-View monitoring, HD Character Generator, HD Clip Stores and HD Still Stores. In addition, it can control external audio mixers, cameras and video servers. Having complete control room functionality allows a single operator to run all aspects of a sophisticated HD or SD production, resulting in a more polished and engaging production.

    Not only do you know that a clip channel is on air, you know exactly what clip is on air and how much time is left on that clip. The Broadcast Pix Slate system takes file inputs a step further displaying the actual file name on the control panel.

    While aspect treatment of inputs is standard on all Slate systems, you can also simultaneously output 16:9 and 4:3 versions of the same 16:9 show with a Slate 1000Ghh. 4:3 & 16:9 Sources Slate 1000Ghh 16:9 output 4:3 output Page Broadcast Pix Slate 1000G Installation Planning Guide - 2012...
  • Page 16: Team Operation

    The Slate system is highly scalable, and can easily accommodate multiple users. A common setup up for a Broadcast Pix studio is a technical director, switching and calling the camera shots plus a second operator changing graphics and clips as needed. Both users are controlling the same Broadcast Pix workstation, the technical director with the 1 M/E control panel, and the graphics operator with a keyboard, mouse and dedicated graphics monitor.

    On a Slate 1000G all 8 of your external live sources will monitor in full motion. The Broadcast Pix Multi-View is intended for a director/producer to verify camera shots, input signals and overall composition. It is not, however, meant to monitor signal quality.

    This option does not have to replace an audio operator, it can assist him. For example, when a clip from the internal Broadcast Pix clip store plays on air, it can automatically turn on the sliders for the clip store audio on the mixer, and when it goes off air the sliders turn off.

    1,200 meters (4,000 feet). All cameras are configured in a daisy chain configuration where all control cables are connected back at the Broadcast Pix workstation. Note that the AW-PH300 & AW-PH300A are only controlled through a RS-232C configuration using the Panasonic AW-CA28T9 control cable, which needs to be purchased through Panasonic.
