- Page 14 Multiple Slate Systems Unique to the Broadcast Pix Slate 3032 is the option to hook two or more Slate systems to one centralized router to share inputs and outputs.

- Page 16 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.
- Page 17 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 3016hh or 3032hh system. 16:9 output Slate 3000hh 4:3 output Page Broadcast Pix Slate 3000 Installation Planning Guide - October 2008...
- Page 18 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.

Hitachi Camera Control Option #801 (RS-485) The Broadcast Pix Slate system can also control larger box-style cameras with the Hitachi camera control through the Eagle Pan/Tilt heads and protocol. Up to 9 Cameras, with 32 presets each, are connected to the workstation using a serial RS-485 connection, which has a maximum length of 1,200 meters (4,000 feet). - Page 25 Panasonic Camera Control Option #802 (RS-422) Additionally the Broadcast Pix system can control a wide-range of Panasonic cameras, including the AW-HE100, AW-PH400 and other Panasonic pan-tilt camera control systems. This software option can control up to 12 different robotic cameras, each of which may have up to 100 presets.

This option also supports up to 8 GPIOs, useful when needing to trigger memory scripts in the Broadcast Pix system from an external device. - Page 27 It inserts text and images into Inscriber layouts through RTX Tag fields and then updates and displays them on the Broadcast Pix Switcher. The text and images can be updated manually or automatically from XML data sources. This is an ideal option for sports production, where data is constantly changing, or for using as a simplified graphics station in a news or government production where a long list of names exist, and do not need to be re-keyed.
