It combines a wide full function 1 M/E switcher panel and an expanded version of our patented devices controls, along with our innovative Mica system and integrated Fluent software. Create compelling video.

Features:

  • Like all Mica models the switcher has 8 HD/SD SDI inputs, plus 7 channels of clips, animations and graphics from the built-in clip store and graphics system with Harris Inscriber TitleMotion CG. 6 HD/SD SDI outputs and 2 DVI outs ease your distribution.

  • 16 source buttons per input row, shift for 32 inputs and see all names on PixButtons.
  • The classic switcher layout of program and preview rows is boosted with a dedicated row for Fluent Macros, offering access to sophisticated effects that tie in sources, clips and devices with one-button ease.
  • Powerful device control bank with PixPad of PixButtons, 3D joystick, knobs, display, and motions controls, for controlling clips, CG, graphics, Fluent-macros, robotic cameras, and more
  • Optional Chyron Lyric Pro 8 Character Generator to create sophisticated titles and animations, accessing them right from the control surface.
  • Mica is also available as 500 and 1000 models utilizing our smaller, yet fully feature-laden control panels.

   HD Live Video Production Systems                   

granite

A legacy control room with a switcher, video server, graphics system and other gear can create powerful live video, but is costly to assemble and staff, and complex to operate.

Now there is a better way to create compelling live video. Granite combines an HD switcher with an HD server to deliver the best workflow with the best picture quality, at a price that is unmatched in the industry today.

Granite Switcher

Granite Switcher runs 1080i HD end-to-end. You can easily upgrade to 1080p, insuring your investment is future proof. Granite is true multi-definition as you can run a mixture of 1080i, 720p and SD inputs, in both 16:9 and 4:3, sync and async. It has up to 22 HD SDI inputs, plus 7 channels of file inputs from Granite server. There are up to 12 HD SDI and 2 DVI outputs. Granite ships with 3 or 6 keyers. Low delay makes it exceptional for live events. Upgrade to 1080p for 3Gb/s processing (twice the data rate of conventional HD) for even better picture quality and 1080p I/O.

Granite Server with Fluent Workflow

Granite Server completes the video production system. It runs Broadcast Pix Fluent workflow software, the ultimate file-based workflow software for live production, enabling users to easily create compelling video. There is an integrated HD clip store of up to 120 hours, HD animation players, HD graphic system with CG, high resolution multi-view displaying video and files, powerful macros for file-based effects, and watch-folders that streamline file import from your favorite editing and graphics systems. Control can be extended to robotic cameras, audio mixers, servers and streamers.

Cost-Effective

With Granite there are no compromises on your budget. A limited budget and staff no longer means a boring production. Granite systems are a fraction of the cost of a legacy control room. With Granite a single operator can create live video that is compelling and memorable. It gracefully expands to a team or larger system, meaning no compromise in flexibility.
