iPad App: Broadcast Pix iPixPanel
Apr 5, 2010 12:00 PM
The new Apple iPad is about to become a fully functional live video production system control panel. Broadcast Pix announced iPixPanel, an application that will allow an iPad to control any of Broadcast Pix’s Slate video production systems. The iPixPanel combines the iPad’s user-friendly touchscreen and wireless control with a Slate panel’s unprecedented feedback, which shows device and file name on the panel’s buttons, helping users to create engaging live video. The iPixPanel will be able to control every aspect of a video production, including switching cameras, adding graphics and clips, controlling robotic cameras, and creating special effects such as an interview with dual picture-in-picture. The iPixPanel application is expected to be available for download at Apple’s App Store this month. Until then, users can try a portion of a control panel for free by downloading the Broadcast Pix iPixPad from the App Store, then run it on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Broadcast Pix will demonstrate both of its Apple apps at the 2010 NAB Show (Booth N4506). Price: $195 (via download from Apple App Store)
