Sabine transmitters come with cell phone-style battery charging – charge them overnight and they are good for a full day’s use. These systems can actually pay for themselves with the money you save by not wasting batteries! That means keeping all those batteries out of the landfill, too. The contest system includes a dual-channel receiver, a Sabine handheld mic with the Voice Technologies condenser capsule, the new SW75-T beltpack transmitter, and a lavalier microphone. Sabine Wireless systems are made in the USA.

With an MSRP of $4950 US the newly expanded Compact Router Series from NVISION is a line of highly configurable hardware and software products that allow you to build a cost-effective, custom-tailored, scaleable routing system to optimize the performance of your facility. Compact Router formats include 3Gb/s, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, AES, AV, AA, and Machine Control Data, in sizes 16x2 to 32x32 and available in a 1RU or 2RU package.

NVISION’s Java-based Compact Router System Configurator (CRSC) is included with every NVISION Compact Router. The CRSC makes set up and configuring your routing and control network quick and easy. Whether you are a beginner or expert at configuring routing and control, the CRSC will allow you to instantly access any part of the configuration for quick changes or use helpful guides at each step of the way to partition routers, change IP addresses, configure salvos, name and configure devices, and program remote control panels to get the system functionality you’ve been looking for. Design your configuration offline and easily upload it to the network eliminating the need for a dedicated PC or Mac to run the system. The Compact Router Series is scaleable within NVISION’s entire product line of large-scale router, router control, and master control systems. The Compact Routers also offer third-party router control and automation interfaces.

The Eagle 100 Multi-Layer Seamless Switcher from FSR has a recommended retail price of $6661 US and represents a significant step forward in seamless switching capabilities to answer the needs of today’s user.

At the heart of the Eagle 100 is a brand new high performance scaling engine that incorporates many of the capabilities that have traditionally been limited to dual scaler switchers. With 8 analog video inputs, 1 Standard Definition SDI input / HD SDI on Eagle 100HD and 1 DVI input, you can literally bring any video source into the Eagle. Traditionally, single scaler seamless switchers were limited to transitioning between 2 full screen sources. With only 1 scaler, there was no way to incorporate another source for special effects. The Eagle 100 addresses this issue by using scaled and native resolution inputs and a layered architecture.

The Eagle 100 employs a layered approach for building the program output. The deepest layer is the background layer. This is derived from the DVI input or can be set to a color. The background layer allows computer generated content to be displayed without tying up the scaler. On top of the background layer is the scaler layer. This layer derives its input from any of the analog or SDI inputs and can be used full screen, as a Picture in Picture (PIP) or as a Key. The next layer is the Down Stream Key (DSK) layer. It derives its’ input from the DVI input and is a Key on top of the other layers. This is commonly used to display text, graphics or lower thirds over a full screen video. The top most layer is the Logo Layer. The Eagle 100 can store up to 3 logos that can be recalled at any time. The logos are frame captures of the scalar layer and can be stored in temporary or non-volatile memory.
