Closing the gap between video and audio.
Conceptually, the V__pro8 resembles a bridge builder. It is a compact,
fully digital, 8-channel video processor comprising all of the glue
features usually needed in the broadcast production workflow. Combining
video and audio management in a single tool guarantees maximum
efficiency and greatest operating safety, with significantly reduced
space, wiring and cost.
For perfect synchronization: Integrating different signal worlds.
The
V__pro8 is the perfect tool to connect different video formats as well
as to connect between audio and video. High quality format conversion,
color correction as well as audio embedding and de-embedding make the
V__pro 8 a compact and powerful video processor, building bridges
between different worlds and formats. A high-density MADI audio
connection provides efficient video-to-audio bridging within the studio
infrastructure. The V__pro8 works as a flexible matrix system: using its
8 x 8 video matrix and 384 x 384 audio matrix, it is possible to switch
any signal to any other. A modern GUI based on HTML5 provides an ideal
interface for easy handling of day-to-day work.
Here's how it works: eight high quality 3G SDI
de-embedders and a corresponding number of embedders are looped into the
eight video signals according to your preferences. This enables any
number of audio signals to be used from the video material, and new
audio signals to be embedded into the video signal - a simple, reliable
and efficient solution.
High usability, intuitive controls
Innovative functions are only useful in combination
with user-friendly controls. Consequently, the V__pro8 provides three
convenient ways to control the device:
Web-GUI
The V__pro8 can be configured via an
easy-to-understand HTML 5-based touch screen interface that runs
directly within the web browser. No software installation is needed. As a
result, you benefit not only from state-of-the-art user-guidance, but
also from elegant animations and many, practical features such as the
video channel preview on your GUI. In addition, the web-based approach
enables the user to access all V__line devices from anywhere within the
network — a feature especially useful in bigger set-ups or in outside
broadcast productions with long-distance links.
Ember+ Control
The
V__pro8 fully supports the Ember+ protocol, enabling the device to be
controlled by external master control systems like BFE’s KSC, Axon's
Cerebrum or Lawo's Virtual Studio Manager. This allows operators to
easily access multiple device parameters along with other routing
parameters of the broadcast installation via a single, integrated
interface. In addition, they get access to the V__pro8’s thumbnails and
peak meters within the VSM desktop environment.
V__fp1 Front Panel
In addition to the web GUI, the V__pro8
can be equipped with an optional V__fp 1 hardware control panel for
direct configuration and operation, including switch panel and shot box
functionality. It features a high-res OLED color display for showing the
configuration menu and real-time viewing of video sources. In
combination with the large rotary encoder and a Return / Cancel button
this allows quick and easy set-up on-site. Ten quick-selection buttons
for switching sources, a front-panel headphones connector for audio
monitoring and an USB port for saving and loading of configurations
complete the V__fp 1 user interface.
