MAJOR FEATURES
Bi-directional I/O’s provide unrivalled flexibility
- 4 bi-directional BNC video connectors supporting 3G/1.5G SDI I/O
- Up to 4K UHD 30p playout or capture via Dual Link 3G-SDI
- Each BNC is completely independent
Maximum connectivity
- Additional BNC for SDI monitoring
- Dedicated Reference input BNC
The industry's lowest latency I/O, by design
4K Supernova S+ has, by design, the world's lowest-latency providing access to captured fields or frames to on-board card memory event before the whole field or frame is complete, thereby reducing the latency to sub on field or frame. During a capture or playout, each process can occur at less than or equal to 1 field for interlaced modes, and less than 1 frame for progressive modes.

RouteMaster
RouteMaster uses Rascular’s proven router control and emulation technology to form a powerful yet flexible router control system. Built on tried and tested software modules, RouteMaster can be used with a wide range of video and audio routers from all major manufacturers.
It’s equally suitable for new router installations or increasing the capabilities – and lifetime – of existing systems. You can add third-party hardware panels to existing systems, add IP connectivity to older serial routers, or simply increase the number of control ports available.
The integrated web server means operators can control routers from any web browser, using custom control panels built with Helm Designer. And because it’s built on HTML5 standards, there’s no need for browser plugins.
Helm
Helm allows the design of a control system dedicated to your operators’ requirements; there’s no clutter of unnecessary controls or information and no risk of confusion between channels as you switch from one manufacturer UI to another. There’s no hunting for the right buttons to press. We can help you design and implement Helm control panels, and you’ll have all the tools to modify and extend them as your requirements change.
BENEFITS
- Totally customisable: All the control you need, none that you don’t
- Smaller footprint: Not all environments have room for multiple hardware panels
- Lower cost: Helm panels run on entry-level PCs, or even on mobile devices via WebCentre
- Faster training: Only one system to learn for new operators
- Enhanced productivity: Simpler interfaces mean operators can work faster and more effectively
- Extend and replace: You can add or change equipment in the facility without impacting operators.
iChannel 2
iChannel2 is a highly integrated, cost-effective, and easy-to-operate automation system for small and mid-size broadcasters. It supports up to 3 HD/SD playout channels in one compact chassis. The system is based on powerful video server platform, with rich features including ingest, playlist editing, multi-channel playout, CG, live signal pass-through, quality control, loudness control, etc.
Unlike other offerings, iChannel2 is not limited to a standalone playout box, it also can be used in a distributed multi-channel playout network, ensures excellent system scalability. By connecting multiple iChannel2 servers together, the system can support large number of playout channels, and there is a centrally located software module to handle automatic clip and playlist transfer. Separate workstations can be deployed for preparing playout schedules for multiple channels. Furthermore, various backup schemes can be configured to guarantee playout security.
