Now Final Cut Pro users can enjoy all the benefits of the fast sQ server workflow
At IBC 2009, Quantel demonstrated complete integration of Apple’s Final Cut Pro into the Quantel sQ server News and Sports production environment. Final Cut Pro on Quantel is shipping now.
A new Quantel Final Cut Pro Gateway enables Final Cut Pro to be totally integrated into the sQ workflow in the same way as Quantel’s own editors. All the usual Quantel workflow benefits and speed to playout are available but now with Final Cut Pro - there are no compromises.
Workflow advantages of the Quantel Final Cut Pro integration are:
* Ability to edit expanding clips on Final Cut Pro - editing of clips that are still being recorded
* Finished edits are published instantly - edits can be played out the second they are finished
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (May 7, 2009) – Vaddio, the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems, supplied AVCON, a Cary NC-based audiovisual contractor, with a user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing HD solution for capturing video in the sanctuary at Hayes-Barton United Methodist Church.
“Because it’s one of the oldest churches in Raleigh, founded in 1937, maintaining aesthetics and elegance of the main sanctuary was a major concern,” explained AVCON President Frank Yarborough. “We had to find HD cameras that would look reasonably elegant in the space because this project required the technology be present - but not seen.” more
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (April 20, 2009) – Vaddio, the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems, announced today the release of the first single CCD, high quality HD Robotic PTZ camera, the Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-18.
“Vaddio has always built technology around other manufacturer’s PTZ cameras, from our Quick-Connect CAT-5 cabling systems that make installation easier, to our ProductionVIEW line of video switchers and joystick camera control systems,” explained Rob Sheeley, President and CEO of Vaddio. “We designed ClearVIEW HD-18 to fill a void in the robotic camera market; a single CCD, high-definition PTZ camera with a high power zoom lens.” more
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (April 22, 2009) – Vaddio, the leading manufacturer and OEM distributor of specialty PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems, introduces the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI camera control console with HD-SDI and SD-SDI video switching, video mixing and automated control functionality.
“Many of the integrated robotic cameras on the market today have SDI as a native output, or offer optional HD-SDI or SD-SDI cards,” explained Rob Sheeley, president and CEO of Vaddio. “We developed ProductionVIEW HD-SDI for users who need a quality HD-SDI switcher with joystick camera control built into a single console.”
Due to the increased demand of Serial Digital Interface (SDI) in live broadcast, Vaddio created the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI multi-camera control system with an integrated 6 x 2 HD/SD-SDI seamless video switcher. The ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is designed to connect easily via a single coax cable for video. ProductionVIEW HD-SDI includes the 3 Gigahertz HD-SDI standard (SMPTE 424M) for 1080p video, as well as SMPTE 292M (HD-SDI at 720p or 1080i) and SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI).
The control surfaces includes a broadcast-style 3-axis Hall Effect Joystick with twist handle zoom control, as well as separate Pan, Tilt and Speed control knobs. There are six discrete auto-sensing RS-232 camera control ports and 12 camera pre-sets per camera for storing frequent shots. Because ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is a live broadcast production console, not a computer, the entire system produces only one frame of delay - a critical requirement for live production where image magnification is used.
The system’s 6 x 2 switcher accepts any combination of input signals from HD-SDI and SD-SDI video sources, featuring both up/down conversion capabilities - the Program and Preview outputs have their own user selectable output resolutions. In addition, an external reference input is included to allow Program and Preview outputs to be connected to a house sync generator Gen Locked to another switcher or routing mixer.
ProductionVIEW HD-SDI is the ideal switcher and camera control system for those applications requiring the highest quality video for live event production.
