Broadcast Pix Video Control Center 3.0
Broadcast Pix introduced its Video Control Center 3.0 software for its Granite and Mica Video Control Centers. The 3.0 software features touchscreen-optimized production control, voice-automation control of switching and graphics, customizable virtual sets, and automated, dual-channel graphics that include Daktronics scoreboard integration. The new touchscreen-friendly joystick and knobs control robotic cameras and picture-in-picture (PiP) box sizing, while new layering controls simplify placing content into key layers and moving them front to back. There are also new switcher transition controls as well as controls for selecting the built-in clip store, animation stores, and Harris or Chyron graphics system. The new virtual set software enables up to eight cameras to have virtual backgrounds plus three key layers on top for PiP, titles, and animated logos. Up to three PiP boxes on an animated background can each contain a virtual set and any can be zoomed out to full screen. Video Control Center 3.0 also supports VOX, a new voice-activated video production option. VOX adds advanced video-follow-audio capabilities by working with Broadcast Pix’s built-in Fluent Macros to select camera presets, roll clips and animations, add or remove graphics, and execute PiP compositions. VOX software enables complete control over timing, and a host override panel is included. VOX has been used to add video to radio station broadcasts, and is ideal for broadcasting meetings of all kinds on television, the internet or projection. Price: Free for Granite and Mica customers
