Univision Deploys Vista System Spyders

PHOENIX, ARIZ. Univision News and Fusion selected Roca Video to install Vista Systems Spyder image processors in Newsport, the Miami, Fla. television production facility that serves the Noticiero Univision nightly newcast, the Primer Impacto weekday news magazine show, and the new Fusion network.

In Newsport, Noticiero has repurposed its existing Spyder configuration from the Univision facility. Primer Impacto shares the Noticiero Spyder, which it uses to control Barco MVD55 LCD displays and additional monitors.The new Fusion network has its own Spyder 0808 to control both Barco OL710 and MVD55 displays plus additional monitors; five Spyder outputs control various areas of the new Studio C.Three network control rooms have access to all the studios in Newsport.

Roca Video selected Spyder for its ability to run multiple outputs.

All the studios have OL710 screens running twice HD resolution, 1080 x 3640, Henderson said. We can now take in content and blend it across screens. It's an excellent way of manipulating backgrounds and giving operators great flexibility to incorporate live feeds and other feeds into backgrounds.

Spyder commands are triggered by an automation system enabling preprogramming of events and routines.

We create presets and looks on Spyder, which can be triggered externally by the Ross Overdrive studio automation package, Henderson said. In that way just one person can control all these functions.
