VTR control 1 and 2 channels

Stylish and cost effective. They have a small footprint console and are ideally suited for use in cluttered production areas. A custom designed heavy metal jog/shuttle wheel and transport keys with status LEDs provide smooth and accurate machine control.

VTR control 4 and 8 channels

Multi channel controllers A range of Dynamic VTR Controllers. These offer direct control of 4 or 8 VTRs for jog, shuttle, cue and play operations.

Disk control panels

Dual Clip Controller, features compact control of two server ports with clip management tools to make the most of a server’s record and replay capabilities. Operators no longer have to rely on a front panel user interface to select, load and play clips in a live environment – which can be fraught with disaster.

Hi Tech’s famous “Comptometer” was featured at IBC 8 years ago. For those of you who didn’t see this “steam punk” controller or just want to see it in action again then there will be another opportunity at this years IBC. If you cant make it there is information and video on our website.

Increasingly, broadcasters seek to reduce production costs and complexity by adopting remote production control from their base of an event. This obviates the cost of transporting all of the equipment and personnel to a venue and the advent of IP technology has enabled multiple levels of two-way communications possible from 4K/UHD feeds from cameras through to talkback back to the venue. There are numerous video and audio over IP devices, but few accommodate the other production requirements of tallies, talkback, data and control.

Hi Tech is launching a product that will provide just this for remote productions that require peripheral equipment to be used alongside main video and audio IP connections. The system will connect audio, tallies, talkback, serially controlled devices, data sources and equipment needing GPIOs at the remote location.

The system comprises two units, a local and a remote interface box that interfaces to the appropriate devices in the remote and host facility. The interface boxes are identical and are configured to be a remote studio location and local, by a web browser.

Features Two 1Gb network connections configured for bonding (link aggregation). Works alongside video over IP devices. Transport stream - AES67 (modified) for audio and talkback and AES67 data for other signals. System configured and setup web interface. o Fast and easy setup, local setup automatically setups the remote. o Network status information e.g. packets sent and received for each signal. o Adjustable audio delay. o System adjustable for long network delays. o Built in tone generator for line up. o Built in tally and GPIO for local test setup. o Remote restart and software update. o System logs. Integrates signals over IP using standard connectors o Serial ports - four (configured as RS232 and RS422). o GPIOs – up to forty. o Camera tallies, power, closing contacts – twelve. o Analogue audio channels – four or more using talkback channels. o Talkback - eight channels configured as two-wire, four-wire, RTS/CC. • Main and backup using standard 12-volt external power supplies. • Compact 1U half rack case. • Front panel OLED display and switches for network setup and status.

Gaining control

Information is your greatest asset. ILLUMINATOR gives access to the key data that is vital to your business performance, presented in a way that is easy to visualise and interpret. Users access data through a client customisable control layer, known as a workspace, which sits on top of the core ILLUMINATOR framework. This allows the software to be tailored to exact client’s needs. The workspace provides users access to any data, whether mastered within ILLUMINATOR’S extensible database, or resident externally in other systems.

ILLUMINATOR allows users to view and manage data from legacy or difficult to maintain datasets, in a single environment. It can consume data in many formats reducing the need for multiple, disparate ‘data islands’ often constructed in spreadsheets, Access or bespoke SQL database solutions.

Work Together

In addition to the user defined Workspaces, the ILLUMINATOR core framework facilitates pre-built or custom functional module plugin capability. Existing modules can be adapted, or new and specially tailored modules can be created with Graphical Data’s support, to ensure you get the solution you need. These functional modules are designed to enhance the power of ILLUMINATOR, improving how users view and work with their data, on a daily basis.

All parts of the business can contribute; suppliers, contractors and customers can also engage if required. Each user has their part to play and every team member's input contributes to overall success. ILLUMINATOR’s communication features allow quick, consistent input and feedback to and from all.

Complete Integration

ILLUMINATOR allows multiple processes to come together in a single integrated workflow tool. These can include processes managed in other systems and if unified with Graphical Data’s RESOLVE software - exceptional end to end project performance improvements can be realised. ILLUMINATOR and its comprehensive toolkit are designed to manage large volumes of complex data. This can include systems procured from scratch, the re-structuring of existing databases, or the unification of data mastered elsewhere in multiple discrete repositories to provide a ‘single view of the truth’, ILLUMINATOR can deliver it all. ILLUMINATOR facilitates exceptional levels of software configuration to meet unique/specific data management requirements but can also realise these very rapidly.

Asset management databases and configuration management databases are numerous. However, ILLUMINATOR’s power is that in addition to these standard functions, it can be configured to be capable of much more. This includes integration of very unique data sets not normally managed in broad enterprise level applications.
