Playout for premium channels

VectorBox XL is for the channels that want to capture the attention of world audiences with the eye-catching power of hardware-based DVEs and frame buffers. This top-of-the-line model offers to the broadcast engineer the quality and reliability of the traditional equipment and uses the software only for the tasks that are suitable for it. Crossfade, fade-to-back, dynamic effects, superimposing, PIPs and crops are performed by dedicated hardware that makes the difference. Let’s get back to the classics when only perfection was allowed in broadcast but with the flexibility and automated control made possible by current technology.

Like all models in the VectorBox range, VectorBox XL is fully compatible with its environment, accepting all wrappers and compression schemes used in the industry, interacting with any device in the master control room and smoothly integrating with third party traffic, scheduling and MAMs of manufacturers by XML or other standards. VectorBox is buit on top of a best-in-class hardware platform and can work with any NAS/SAN accesible via LAN. Its monitoring capabilities and its ability to be stacked (with or without automation layer) in large multichannel facilities makes setting up channels simple and straightforward.
