In today’s dynamic multi-channel broadcast world most Master Control switching is automation driven. Operator control positions continue to be used, but the requirements have evolved. Today’s operator may have to monitor many channels at once and be ready to take over manual control in an emergency, or for a live event. This demands compact, but easy to use panels that can quickly be assigned to any channel, be responsive, and clearly convey maximum information in a small package.
We provide an extensive array of control interfaces and features for BrandMaster™ - the world’s first Branding Switcher™ - designed to simplify master control operations.
Video Switch Panel (VSP)
 Our exciting VSP meets and exceeds these needs, literally putting more information at the operator’s fingertips using full color TFT switch technology (a first in broadcast control panels). With a layout instantly familiar and comfortable to Master Control operators worldwide, VSP adds advanced capabilities to customize switch functions, display assigned source names, and to show channel idents and graphics in full colour.
Technical Highlights
- Dual Redundant panel power supplies – for enhanced reliability.
- Low power silent operation – saves energy and provides mounting flexibility.
- Advanced mechanical design keeps within 3RU – avoids need for more desk space.
- Shallow panel depth allows desk or rack mounting – permits desk layout flexibility.
- Assignable knob to adjust analog parameters – enhances operator “comfort”.
- Up to 22 source switches and automatic source “Overflow” – reduces operator confusion and possible mistakes.
- Dedicated Program/Preset busses with tactile switches – enhances operator confidence and reduces learning curve.
- Multi-colored LED illumination with wide a range of programmable colors and LCD source display/switches for clear identification – provides clear status to operator to reduce confusion and on-air mistakes.

PPMC for BrandMaster
|
The latest relase of the Pixel Power Managment Console fully supports creating custom soft panels for BrandMaster. A built-in layout editor is included that brings drag-and-drop simplicity to the process of creating or modifying a panel design.
In addition to supporting any traditional layout required by operators, PPMC goes beyond mere hardware panel mimicry to enable unconstrained panel designs to suit any requirement. This allows PPMC to unlock novel control possibilities such as the use of touch screens, including multi-touch and gestures, to lend further flexibility to efficiently meet any master control requirements. |

 The template creation process is identical to that for 3D planoscopic graphics, and any existing 3D planoscopic content may be immediately rendered as 3D stereoscopic, reducing storage requirements and saving the time and cost of creating new graphics.
PPRCS
Pixel Power Router Control Server has been enhanced to include router salvos, usually only found on more expensive, stand-alone router solutions. This has been included specifically to allow the use of low-cost routing switchers - giving broadcasters new cost effective options to consider when designing their master control systems.
