Slate 5000 Features |
|
Switcher Features Included
|
|
● 2 M/E Panel - The 2 M/E panel has a classic program/preview switcher layout, so switcher operators will feel at home. There are 16 source buttons per row, and another 16 accessible with shift.
● 2 M/E Power - Two M/E’s make it even easier to create compelling live video. One M/E can have a composition on air, and you can create a second one on the other M/E and then take it directly to air. Or bring a composition on one M/E into a keyer on the On-Air M/E, such as for a box with a title in it. Or use each M/E independently for two different program outputs, such as when feeding two screens, or having one output for TV and another for Internet viewing.
| 
|
| ● Dual Device Controls – The control panel has two large banks of device controls built-in. Each includes a bank of PixButtons, 4 knobs, and motion controls. They share a 3-Axis joystick that can toggle between them. The device controls provide intimate control of the integrated clip and graphic stores, the exceptionally powerful memory system, controlling external devices like cameras, or use them, for switcher operations like setting up a keyer. With two banks of device controls, one can be held to control one device, while another simultaneously controls a second. | 
Dual Device Controls, and shared joystick |
| ● 6 Keyers and DVEs - Six keyers are standard with pristine key edges. Each key has a DVE for up to 6 picture in pictures. The DVEs can be squeezed, flown in, and have borders. Enjoy the exceptional chromakey for green and blue wall sets, as well as luma key support. The chromakeyer gives you control over key softness and spill suppression. Each of the 6 keyers can be used on either of both M/Es. You can also use two to connect an external video and key input, such as separate CG. | 
6 Keyers, each with a DVE |
| ● PixButtons - The panel features patented PixButtons, which are buttons with displays built-in that show icons for the device type and even the file name. They change dynamically as you assign sources and keys and fill them with content. You can tell at a glance what is on every source and key. No surprises. The illustration shows 2 cameras, the River clip on clip channel 1, the Mens four clip on channel 2, and Mens doubles on the first channel of CG. | 
Dynamic PixButtons - only from Broadcast Pix |
● Inputs and Outputs - There are three 5000 models
Slate 5008 has 8 live inputs for cameras and other external sources, and you do not need nearly as many inputs as conventional switchers, as the 2 clip store, 5 still stores and CG are integrated inside and do not consume inputs. The 8 can be all HD/SD SDI, SD SDI or Analog, or split with 4 of each type. All have 5 outputs, with 2 that match the format of each bank of inputs (HD, SD or analog), plus 2 SD SDI and 1 analog. Models configured with HD I/O can have optional DVI I/O added.
Slate 5016 adds an integrated 16x16 HD/SD or SD router which expands the I/O to 12 SDI inputs and 8 SDI plus 1 analog output.
Slate 5032 adds an integrated 16x16 HD/SD or SD router which expands the I/O to 24 SDI inputs and 22 SDI plus 1 analog output. | 
|
| ● True Multi-Definition – Slate 5000 HD switchers have true multi-definition support, which enables simultaneous mixing of 1080i, 720p and SD. Each input can be set to whatever format you want. For example, input 1 through 4 can be 1080i, input 5 through 7 can be 720p and input 8 can be standard definition. Some can be DVI when that option is fitted. On hybrid digital/analog 5008 systems, input 5 and 6 might be set to analog component, input 7 to analog S (Y/C) and input 8 to analog composite. | 
True Multi-Def |
|
| ● AutoAspect - Slate features simultaneous I/O of 16:9 and 4:3, without stretching content. For example, when creating in 16:9, you can bring in 4:3 cameras and add side pillars to them, rather then stretching their video and make everyone on those cameras look too wide. HD models can also simultaneously output both 16:9 and 4:3 versions of the same program. More | 
Output 16:9 and 4:3 |
| ● Non-Stop - Slate 5000 provides non-stop on-air reliability thanks to multi-redundancies built-in. Its switching and layering “heavy lifting” is done on Broadcast Pix hardware boards, inside the Broadcast Pix workstation, so as not to burden the system. If the workstation should ever stop, or even be unplugged, a camera still stays on-air, and 5106 and 5032 model can still preview and switch all cameras thanks to redundant control of their integrated router. Unlike conventional switchers, every Slate 5000 system has a redundant control panel in software. So if you were to accidently spill a Coke on you physical panel in the middle of a show and it stopped, you can keep going on your SoftPanel. Every Slate 5000 includes redundant power for its workstation, panel and any router, and a redundant back up system drive. | 
Multiple Redundancies for non-stop on-air |

Fluent Features Included |
|
| ● Fluent Clip Store - Holds up to 100 hours of HD or SD clips on two channels, and expandable to 200 hours. Formats include HD ProRes or H.264, and SD DV, DVCPRO or H.264. Clips can have audio, and audio is output from the system with analog stereo XLR cables. The clips can be selected from the control panel, and show on the multi-view. Clips can be set to auto-start on transition, so no more careful cuing. Clips can have a key channel. The clip store can also hold animations that it creates from a sequence of Targa files created on a wide variety of systems or on the internal CG. Clips can have a key channel. Or record uncompressed clips into the clip store to play out during a production. More | 
|
| ● Fluent Graphics - Holds thousands of Stills in 5 channels of graphic stores, each with video and key. Accepts HD and SD .tga, .jpg, .png and .bmp files. Also includes an integrated Harris Inscriber CG (Character Generator) which creates stunning broadcast quality titles. You can also create graphic elements in Photoshop and bring them into the CG to add titles, or export complete graphics directly into a graphics store. CG titles can also be edited live on air. Like the clip store, the graphics stores have extensive controls built-into the panel and feedback on the multi-view. More | 
|
| ● Fluent Watch-folders – Unlike conventional switchers that take only video inputs, Slate systems can input video and files. This greatly streamlines live production workflow, by enabling clips and graphics to be sent over a network from your favorite editing or graphics systems. For example, you might have one Watch-Folder for the 6 o’clock news program, and one for the 9 o’clock. Editors simply send the content over a network into the correct Watch-Folder and it is automatically added to that show, even late breaking news that comes in during a news cast. More | 
Fluent Watch-Folders Detail |
| ● Fluent Multi-View – Like conventional multi-Views, Slate displays windows for program, preview and sources, with tally. But Fluent Multi-view provides workflow tools that are way beyond conventional multi-views, to provide you with unprecedented feedback. More
File-based workflow tools feature: libraries of clips and graphics, with thumbnails, file-names and properties like whether clips are set to auto-start or loop. Clip counters show clip time-code and progress bars. Status of incoming files coming into Fluent watch-folders is shown as well. The Slate 5000 Fluent Multi-View has two PixPads, which follow two PixPads on the 2 M/E control panel. Other unique features to enhance workflow. Only a Fluent Multi-View shows Key source windows, and they also list attributes such as whether a DVE, crop or reposition is applied to the key. There safe zones displayed on preview and program. And you can customize a layout, by resizing and aligning each window. Dual monitor support is standard using 2 DVI connecotrs and 2 VGA adpaters. You can have independent multi-view layouts on each monitor. As an option you can expand monioring to four monitors. | 
|
| ● Fluent Macros – Slate is the only switcher that recalls a sequence of switcher moves and specific clip and graphic files. You can even include camera positions in a Macro as well. For example, with one press you can select a camera on preview, change its preset position, bring it to air, fade on its specific title from the CG store, and fade off the title. Or use a macro to create an animated transition using your logo, and add even add sound effects. The intuitive GUI makes it easy to create, edit and play macros. Or you can execute Macros directly from the control panel. More | 
|
| ● Fluent Macros Rows - The Slate 5000 panel includes two rows of displays that can also be used to hold Macros or snapshot memories. They are always handy to execute with one push. | 
Macros Rows |
● SoftPanels – Why Slate is the ultimate “one-man band”, it gracefully expands to team use for more demanding live production where you might want a team. You can add graphics operator just by giving them the keyboard and mouse and a monitor, while the switcher operator uses the panel and another monitor. Or network in a PC on which you open a SoftPanel. Or download a free iPixPad from the Apple store and put it control Slate from an iPhone or iPod Touch, available now! More
