Clipbox Studio gives stations the power to produce programmes with exceptional graphics and effects, make final second changes to the running order and playout to air in a fraction of the time required for tape. As the number of news broadcasters increases and DTV becomes more widely accepted, the battle for ratings is set to become ever more frantic. By using Clipbox Studio even local news operations can produce programming of international quality, with strong branding and great visual effects. We've taken that same technology and used it in a way which opens the world of digital production to many more stations. A system can be specified that is capable of producing a live news broadcast using only a single Clipbox Studio and a Studio FX control panel.
All clips can have an associated moving key.
In addition, the unit can combine one moving clip over another, while resizing, positioning and masking, as well as play the combined scene out of a single port. It offers the broadcaster immediate savings in VTR running costs and can extend the life of existing studio equipment - it effectively adds at least another effects bank to even the simplest switcher. Material can be recorded from a VTR or from a live input using the unique Loop Record facility. Clips can then be trimmed to the required length or a sub-clip made. Clips and stills can also be cropped to focus attention on particular detail.
