Ross Video is showcasing version 7.0 of their OverDrive automated production control system. The production platform includes applications for news, sports, worship and live events. Version 7.0 increases the power and flexibility of the OverDrive system by adding MOS integration for graphic and video server systems, an enhanced Client/Server architecture, and sideCar.

SideCar is a compact remote control panel, which adds multiple user-programmable timers, preview custom controls and the ability to enable or disable remote control of mixers or robotic cameras on-the-fly.

Other new key features include support for the company’s Vision QMD/X switcher family, including integration of internal MLE and global still stores, mis-matched panel and frame configuration support. This feature enables 1 or 2 MLE panels running 3 or 4 MLE frames, and several new enhancements for the RundownControl client and NRCS ActiveX plug-in.
