Callisto is a broadcast specification (SMPTE-259M) 270 Mbit video switcherwith DSK and optional chroma keyer designed for studio, edit suite andtransmission applications. Callisto can handle fully asynchronous (unlocked)inputs in a mixed signal format (SDI and analogue) environment.

The programme and preview outputs are available as both SDI and analoguecomposite with 10-bit processing throughout. There are two SDI auxiliaryswitched outputs for monitoring and routing, and switchers fitted with thecomposite input option also have a separate composite monitoring output.The incoming sources can be asynchronous as Callisto features dual channelframestore synchronisers. The switcher will operate in stand-alone mode,or may be genlocked to an external reference. A line store (minimum delay)mode is also available via the set-up menu.

Operationally, Callisto works in conventional programme/preview bus mode.Installed functions include manual and auto wipe (multiple patterns withnormal/reverse, colour border and soft edge), manual and auto dissolve, andauto fade to black. A new feature is the Hot-Cut function, which allows theoperator to make cuts directly on the programme bus without the freeze-frame commonly associated with asynchronous switchers. Callisto is dualstandard 525/625 and offers 4:3 or 16:9 (letterbox) blanking. In conjunctionwith the Callisto-C control panel, the extensive menus allow the user to tailorthe operational modes to suit individual requirements. An internal TSGprovides EBU bars and other test signals, and source ident can be inserted.

Callisto also features a DSK with fully synchronising SDI inputs for external'Key' and 'Fill' and a “clean feed” (pre-DSK) programme output. A chromakeyer is also available as an option. Optional analogue composite decodersallow signal acquisition in mixed format environments (SDI digital andanalogue) without compromising any of the unit’s other features. This allowsthe switcher to be used efficiently in today's transitional environment whileretaining the necessary specifications and features for the all-digital worldof tomorrow. The shift function allows the user to switch formats on anyinput channel between transitions. Callisto can be controlled via industrystandard editor protocols GVG-100 and GVG-M2100, and has a fullcomplement of assignable (take/ftb/source select) GPI functions and GPIhigh-current output drivers.

Neptune

Dual SDI frame synchronisers in 1RU with input format options

• Low cost, high specification and feature rich • Analogue and digital input options for flexible signal acquisition• SDI and analogue composite outputs • Intelligent switch to eliminate disturbances in dual path applications • Proc Amp and internal TSG• Embedded audio synchroniser and processing options• Industry standard control interface for automation

Neptune comprises two fully independent SDI framestore synchronisers in a 1RU chassis. In addition

to the standard 10 bit SDI inputs, a range of other analogue and digital input formats is available as

options to allow flexible signal acquisition. Outputs are SDI and composite analogue (monitoring) as

standard.

The unit can be user configured as two fully independent channels or as an intelligent switch that

selects the ‘best’ input according to user selected criteria. In dual (redundant) path applications, the

dual frame architecture enables a disturbance-free transition from a failing signal to a good signal.

There are comprehensive local controls for signal levels and timing adjustments as well as an

industry standard control interface for remote and automation applications. Embedded audio

synchronisers and level adjustments are available as an option in addition to the standard

‘transparent’ audio processing features.

The unit can operate as a stand alone or genlocked to station reference. There are also internal test

signal and source ident insertion facilities.

This low cost, compact and flexible dual channel synchroniser is designed for use in a wide range of

studio, edit suite, OB and transmission environments, and is available at a very competitive price.

Universal time code...

The cost-saving time code reader that lets you generate EDLs from VHS

machines rather than expensive broadcast players

• Full VHS transport control without modification or cabling

• Lightweight slimline design and low power consumption

• In-vision time code display, variable size and position

• Reads and inserts VITC and LTC

• Free-run time code generation

• Dual standard PAL/NTSC

...with VHS control


V-LOG

1 261 00:12:12:23 00:12:37:12 Sunset Over the hills

V-Log is a universal time code tool for use in all areas of tape logging. It contains all the functions necessary

for effective time code management, including the reading, generation and insertion of LTC and VITC in both

PAL and NTSC. In addition to these essential capabilities, V-Log possesses the unique ability to control

domestic and industrial VHS machines, and the diagram below shows just why this is such a useful feature.

VHS

V-Log

Many people prefer to log their rushes after the shoot, but you have to be absolutely sure that the machine

you use isn’t going to damage the source tapes. The alternative is to dub to VHS and use these tapes as

logging material. However, this can be a time-consuming and inaccurate business, since domestic VHS

machines have no RS-422 interface, and hence no transport control.

V-Log is designed to provide a simple and efficient way of controlling a VHS machine while you’re logging.

Using Phoenix Log software, you can then create your own edit lists by simulating RS-422 control of a VHS

machine via the infrared control port. All VHS transport functions are available, including search-to-cue, and

V-Log is able to control a wide range of VHS models.

Phoenix Log can export the results of your logging sessions to any current EDL format, thus reducing your

digitising time and your costs, and a single V-Log/Phoenix combination allows you to replace a broadcast

player with a VHS machine. V-Log is supplied complete with universal power supply and a full cable set for

immediate connection. How does it work? Just ask for a demonstration!
