The Slate 100 Control Panel features a classic preview/program switcher layout including a next transition section for managing the system’s three keyers. There are also controls for the Slate 100's built-in CG, clip store, graphics, and camera control systems, including a bank of buttons that corresponds to thumbnails on the multi-view for easy selection of digital assets and device controls. While the Slate 100 can be controlled by one operator, the new panel also enables a separate graphics operator to use the system’s keyboard and mouse for especially fast-paced live productions like sports. The new Slate 100 control panel is priced at $995 and will ship in May. “While recent Broadcast Pix new product introductions have been addressing the needs of sophisticated studios with a 2 M/E model, workflow software, and 3G 1080p upgradeability, today’s announcement shows we haven’t forgotten the needs of smaller studios,” said Ken Swanton, president of Broadcast Pix. “The new Slate 100 panel is so economical that you can now get a Slate 100 system with control panel for under $12K, complete with switcher, CG, clip and still stores, multi-view, Fluent workflow software, and aspect and format conversion. It is the most affordable way to create great live video.” About Broadcast Pix Broadcast Pix is the leader in integrated live video production systems.
