Conductor, a sophisticated touch screen computer that enables
delivery of high-quality and multifaceted on-air programming,
was unveiled today to the European marketplace at IBC2007.
The Conductor is the latest in a line of technologically advanced
video production switchers and broadcast tools provided by
Echolab Corporation.
"With the Conductor on your team, you can automate difficult
tasks and then, once you're on air, perform those tasks with
confidence, to deliver the best possible programs," said
Nigel Spratling, Echolab's President.
The Echolab Conductor has two modes of operation. In pre-production
mode, the producer can configure the switcher, build sequences,
transfer graphics, or configure the on-air soft buttons. In
on-air mode, the Conductor becomes an extension of the switcher
control panel. The touch screen interface features soft buttons
that can execute sequences, load graphics, recall ME presets,
and communicate with video servers, character generators,
and other third-party devices.
The Conductor features an array of software tools to automate
program elements and build communications links with video
servers, VTRs, and character generators. With the system's
sequence builder tool, the producer can prepare a complicated
sequence of events ranging from operating the switcher to
controlling third-party devices — and then, while on
the air, launch the sequence with the touch of a single button.
The Conductor's integration interface enables the producer
to communicate with the video server, clip store, and character
generator from one unified interface, giving producers added
confidence that they can immediately access third-party devices
while on the air.
In addition, the Conductor provides a graphics utility for
easy transfer of stills to the switcher's internal memory,
enabling the producer to access the graphics at any time during
the show by loading the still image into the mainframe buffer.
The Conductor's configuration utilities enable quick setup,
even with multiple users.
