Under the Smart Production banner, Ross Video will show how its technologies, services and expertise can help customers achieve their creative, business, and technical goals at IBC 2016. Ross demonstrations at IBC will show complete systems and workflows for Virtual Sets, Galleries, Automated Production Control, Graphics Creation & Playout, News Editorial, Stadium Displays, Studio Robotics, Assembly Productions, and much more on Stand #11.C10.
Production Switchers
The new Carbonite Black Solo, a surprise introduction at NAB and now shipping, is a highly compact yet powerful production switcher with 9 inputs and 6 outputs, specifically designed to meet the needs of smaller productions - a real Carbonite feature set, in a smaller, more affordable package.
The mid-sized powerhouse Carbonite Production Switcher series continues to grow and expand adding the Carbonite Black Plus frame, which contains all of the features of the ever popular Carbonite Black engine - Plus a lot more. Carbonite Black Plus adds more monitoring capability, and extensive processing features to both inputs and outputs.
Another bonus for Carbonite is that XPression Live CG software is now included with every Carbonite production switcher. With the latest version of Carbonite software, feature additions include Multi-Panel operation that enables users to operate their Carbonite ME, MiniMEs, or MultiScreen outputs from multiple control panels and DashBoard control points.
The Acuity large production switcher series is being shown with integrated IP (Internet Protocol) 10Gb/s I/O capabilities. This solution provides a direct connection into the Evertz IP routing environment without requiring a top of the rack gateway.
The latest Acuity software version brings additional operational features including new DVE Warps, Lighting Engine, and support for the MultiProcessing Input card option which adds frame syncs, color correction, input multi-viewing and more to Acuity inputs. This version of software expands the capabilities of MultiFeed functionality with Split ME controls. Now it's possible to set up an Acuity ME as two MEs with up to eight keyer assignments.
Acuity DoubleDown control panel models are a new premium option that doubles the number of key/aux bus assignment buttons for every ME row.
Cameras
Ross is now in the camera business, having launched ACID cameras earlier this year and making their European debut at IBC. ACID is a series of compact box cameras that offer full size studio camera performance. These new cameras provide and capture great looking images in any environment and make a great companion to Ross or other robotic camera systems.
ACID cameras offer special performance characteristics for chroma keying in virtual environments, and include a unique new signal format. These cameras output standard SMPTE 4:2:2 video signals for use in any production, and in addition output a special 0:4:4 full bandwidth color signal that is combined with the primary output within the Carbonite UltrachromeHR system to generate a full resolution 4:4:4 signal for superior chroma keys.
All camera operation, setup and shading can be performed from DashBoard soft control panels including the transfer and recall of scene files from one ACID camera to another.
Chroma Keyer
Carbonite UltrachromeHR incorporates signal processing technologies designed to generate high-resolution key edges from chroma channel information. It is a stand-alone chroma key system based on the Carbonite Black production processing engine, with a special software load that turns the engine into a multichannel chroma key processor. Features like 4:4:4 keyng with ACID cameras, multi-frame adjustable delay to compensate for virtual render engines and color correction for foreground/background matching make it the perfect choice for virtual set chroma key environments.
Graphics Systems
XPression Tessera is a multi-display real-time graphics designer and controller for Sport Venues and Studio Video Walls. Tessera links together multiple XPression engines to create a scalable matrix of channels for seamless output of scenes across large or irregularly assembled display panels and drive full resolution content making use of every pixel of resolution those displays have to offer.
XPression Quad continues the development of systems suitable to 4K Production. This graphics system supports up to 4 (video + key) channels of HD/SD or Quad link 4K outputs with key, and is user configurable for any combination of inputs and outputs.
XPression Tick-it Flow is a less expensive version of XPression Tick-it with core features. It offers the same centralized data aggregation as XPression Tick-it without the direct playout capabilities, and includes elections software.
XPression Maps is now 64-bit native, making it faster than ever while the UI is now even more intuitive and pleasing to the eye.
The XPression MOS Plug-in has been significantly upgraded, adding a number of new features making it easier and faster to build graphics for a news show.
Adobe XMP Metadata is available for entry into XPression from every Adobe software tool. XMP metadata can be used to automatically populate text, or make scene changes like color changes and image replacements.
