Cleanit is a flexible and budget-friendly video and audio profanity delay system for live broadcasts.

Cleanit allows a live content stream to be delayed by up to 20 seconds (in HD), giving your operator time to react and prevent the broadcast of unwanted or offensive video or audio material. It's perfect at preventing expletives, obscene gestures, wardrobe malfunctions, bloopers, competitor mentions, coughing fits or technical problems from making it to air – whether regulations insist on protection of content or you want to control exactly what you broadcast.

Cleanit works with 3Gb/s, HD and SD video and with embedded audio as well as discrete AES and analogue audio and is based on Crystal Vision's Indigo range of modular products and frames.

Control is simple and intuitive – using either a computer GUI or a smart button box, with both manual and automatic control of the video and audio cover/uncover functions.

Cleanit is available in different versions to suit all requirements – whether you want the standard functionality or a more elaborate custom system designed specifically for your application. With Cleanit, you can get the perfect level of protection needed for your production.

The three standard versions of Cleanit take care of the most common applications.

Cleanit 1 allows for audio mute or shuffle to another embedded source of up to 16 audio channels of embedded audio.

Cleanit 2 is designed for those using discrete audio and allows for audio mute or shuffle of up to eight audio channels of analogue audio or 110 ohm AES.

Cleanit 3 gives the ability to freeze or black the video in addition to the audio muting or shuffling.

With Cleanit Custom, different functions can be added to the mix – such as inserting a graphic from a clipstore – with flexible customisation of the control GUIs and button box to satisfy individual requirements.

How much video delay do you need?

Providing up to 800 frames of video delay, Crystal Vision's four variable video delay lines are ideal for matching any short or long delays in your IP or SDI system.

These video delays can be used with IP (ST 2022 and ST 2110 video), with SDI or with both IP and SDI at the same time for hybrid systems. This gives you the easiest possible SDI to IP upgrade, while also making them perfect for mixed SDI and IP installations as well as fully IP or fully SDI environments. They work with 31 different SDI video standards, including 1080p.

All include a framestore synchroniser and support PTP in addition to analogue references as a timing source.

The delay is adjustable in steps of frames. The amount of delay available in seconds depends on the video format.

The triple channel M-VIVID100-3 provides up to 100 frames of video delay per channel (four seconds in 1080i50).

The dual channel M-VIVID200-2 provides up to 200 frames of video delay per channel (eight seconds in 1080i50).

The dual channel M-VIVID400-2 offers up to 400 frames of video delay per channel (16 seconds in 1080i50).

The single channel M-VIVID800 provides up to 800 frames of video delay (32 seconds in 1080i50).

The M-VIVID range are software apps that run on the MARBLE-V1 media processor. A card that fits in the Vision 3 frame, MARBLE-V1 features a powerful CPU/GPU processor, six bi-directional SDI connections and four 10GbE SFP+ network interface ports and allows different apps to be installed when needs change.
