Broadcast Pix Slate 1000G Installation Planning Guide - 2012 Page
The Broadcast Pix™ Slate™ 1000G is a live, integrated production system that incorporates a Production
Switcher, Multi-View monitoring, HD Character Generator, HD Clip Stores and HD Still Stores. In addition,
it can control external audio mixers, cameras and video servers. Having complete control room functionality
allows a single operator to run all aspects of a sophisticated HD or SD production, resulting in a more
polished and engaging production. When productions demand more control, it easily expands to a team
operation to share responsibilities.
There are 9 Slate 1000 switcher models in Standard-Definition, analog or hybrid solutions, as shown below,
all of which use the same BPSwitcher software and control panel.

All Slate 1000G switchers have two primary components: a 1 M/E control panel and a 4 RU workstation,
which contains the Slate video processing I/O cards. An audio stereo break-out cable is also included for the
clip store.
Although Slate can accept both genlocked and non-genlocked sources, the main Slate I/O card in the
workstation requires an analog black burst reference signal.

One important way in which the Broadcast Pix Slate system stands out from other traditional switchers is
that at the heart of the Slate system is a file-based architecture. Not only can the system support a wide-
variety of live video formats from SDI to DVI, it can also accept a wide-variety of standard graphic and
video file formats. A file is a graphic, clip or animation that is encapsulated in a computer file, such as a
.tga graphic or a .mov QuickTime clip. It includes not only the content, but also the name of the file. Files
are generally created from a computer/editing system like Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, Avid or
an animation program like Artbeats or Digital Juice. The files are then sent over a 1 Gig network in either
pre-production or during a production and stored internally in the Broadcast Pix workstation. With the use
of Fluent Watch-Folders, files can be automatically be added to any show, even one that is running. Files
can also be created inside the Slate workstation as a CG, animation or an uncompressed recorded clip.
Files can dramatically streamline your workflow and let you focus on being more content creative instead
of worrying about how to connect all your components.
Incorporating both traditional live inputs and file formats into one video switcher allows for not only greater
ease of movement of content, but an incredible amount of user feedback that comes directly from the
files. Not only do you know that a clip channel is on air, you know exactly what clip is on air and how
much time is left on that clip. The Broadcast Pix Slate system takes file inputs a step further displaying
the actual file name on the control panel. Through unique push buttons, with built in computer displays
called PixButtons™, the user sees what device, what channel and most importantly what file name is
selected. In addition, your Multi-View provides the same feedback along with timecode and other
attributes, like mark points and auto-start for a complete control room feel. No other switcher provides this
functionality at any price point.

Whether you are creating a widescreen 16:9 show, or a traditional 4:3 show, AutoAspect solves the many
challenges of mixing 4:3 and 16:9 content in the same production. Now 16:9 and 4:3 inputs, clips and
graphics can be used interchangeably and mixed together in the same live production, while maintaining
the native aspect ratio of each element. Conventional switchers can only stretch video when crossing
aspect ratios, causing people to look too wide or too thin. Slate enables each input to be set to one of 4
aspect treatments: Box, Crop, 14:9 or None (anamorphic). Each clip and graphic in the libraries can be
separately treated in same four ways.
DualAspect Outputs
While aspect treatment of inputs is standard on all Slate systems, you can also simultaneously output
16:9 and 4:3 versions of the same 16:9 show with a Slate 1000Ghh.

One of the unique features of all Broadcast Pix Slate switchers is integrated control room operation within
the switcher, making it easily controllable by a minimal staff, or even one person. A technical director can
switch and control cameras, key on lower thirds, update guest graphics, change over-the-shoulder boxes,
roll in opens and packages, plus trigger audio commands, all from one control panel. This tight interaction
makes productions more efficient, while enabling a smaller staff to be more productive.
Some productions require more than a ‘one-man-band’ operation. There are times when in addition to
having a complex switched production, multiple graphics and clips need to be updated and changed on
the fly. The Slate system is highly scalable, and can easily accommodate multiple users. A common
setup up for a Broadcast Pix studio is a technical director, switching and calling the camera shots plus a
second operator changing graphics and clips as needed. Both users are controlling the same Broadcast
Pix workstation, the technical director with the 1 M/E control panel, and the graphics operator with a
keyboard, mouse and dedicated graphics monitor. See below for diagram.
For even more demanding productions, where each device needs to have a separate operator, the
Broadcast Pix easily adjusts. The main workstation effectively has 2 control points, one is the 1 M/E
control panel and the other is the keyboard and mouse. When other users need access to a keyboard
and mouse, other workstations, of any kind, can easily be networked together to add more control points.
Through the use of SoftPanels, which are virtual control panels, users enter an IP address and have
access to any part of the control panel to assist the director in various show needs. Since SoftPanels are
Flash-based, users can easily right-click and zoom into various parts of the control panel for a custom
look. This not only focuses the user on their section, but also limits access to other parts of the panel, that
the director may not want anyone to control. You may have as many SoftPanel licenses installed on your
system as you wish, and they can easily be added on as an option. Each control panel, SoftPanel and
TimeLine panel uses one license, the Slate 1000G comes with 2 licenses, but more may be beneficial. In
addition to more SoftPanels, users have the option to add more physical control panels, such as a 1 M/E
control panel for back-up/redundancy or pair a 2 M/E control panel and have a 1 M/E control panel that
controls a specific M/E. This option is useful when driving multiple outputs where one TD is controlling the
record feed and the other TD is controlling a projector output for Image Magnification (IMAG).

Every Broadcast Pix Slate switcher includes a customizable Multi-View to monitor all your internal and
external sources in motion. The Multi-View is outputted through the workstation’s monitor card (PCI slot
#5), as shown below. It uses two DVI-I connecters, two DVI to VGA adaptors are included. The standard
output is through a dual-headed card where you can easily create custom layouts across two screens, in
addition to using the factory layouts. Layouts can then be saved and recalled at the click of a button.
On standard dual monitor systems, one monitor is primarily used in pre-production to change show
settings, and during the production for a technical director workstation, and a second monitor is used for
graphics, or for a large wall monitor. The primary monitor and secondary monitors should use a resolution
of 1280x1024, 1366x768, 1680x1050 or 1920x1080. When pairing monitors with your Slate system it is
important to set the correct resolution/aspect ratio of the monitor with the Windows desktop settings to
ensure proper aspect treatment of your video.
On a Slate 1000G all 8 of your external live sources will monitor in full motion.
The Broadcast Pix Multi-View is intended for a director/producer to verify camera shots, input signals and
overall composition. It is not, however, meant to monitor signal quality. For the highest quality monitoring,
and fail-safe monitoring, we recommend connecting a ‘glass’ or ‘tube’ monitor to the preview and
program outputs of the system. Although these external source monitors are not needed, if desired, they
do provide monitors for the fine shading of cameras and to monitor while in fail-safe, since the Multi-View
is not active while the system is in fail-safe.

In most installations the standard monitor card will be sufficient, but in some Slate 1000 installations you
will want to have more screen space to view your sources. The quad monitor card option upgrades the
dual-headed card to a quad-headed card in the same PCI slot. The benefit of having up to four monitor
outputs is the ability to spread out sources for specific users. For example, one screen could be used for
a technical director, one for a graphics operator and one or two for producers. The flexibility gained with
this option gives an endless amount of opportunities for producers and directors to create custom layouts
based on their show needs.
The quad monitor card uses 2 VHDCI ports, which breaks out to 4 DVI-I female connectors (adaptors to
VGA are included). The top connector is monitor output 1 and 3 and the bottom connector is monitor
output 2 and 4.

The Broadcast Pix Slate system does not do any internal audio mixing, as powerful external audio mixers
are cost effective and readily available. However, any Slate system can remotely control external audio
mixers through the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) protocol. This method provides more control
and options for the user, compared to conventional switchers that use the antiquated ESAM protocol, as
MIDI works with many different types of audio mixers and is more powerful and affordable. Examples of
controllable audio mixers are: Yamaha O1V96, DM2000, Mackie TT24, and Roland RSS M-400.
This option does not have to replace an audio operator, it can assist him. For example, when a clip from
the internal Broadcast Pix clip store plays on air, it can automatically turn on the sliders for the clip store
audio on the mixer, and when it goes off air the sliders turn off. Or, when an anchor on set is on air, it
triggers a scene change to bring up his volume, adjust EQ settings and add some compression.
All this is accomplished with the Audio-Follow-Video option from Broadcast Pix. For less demanding
productions, when an audio operator is not desired, the audio follow option may be configured to
completely take his place.
The Audio-Follow option includes a M-Audio MIDI to USB converter to connect your audio mixer to the
Broadcast Pix workstation through the MIDI In & MIDI Out ports, as shown below. If desired, you may also
use a straight USB cable, if your audio mixer accepts MIDI control over USB. Once connected, simply
enter your parameters in the command grid and start switching. Since the Broadcast Pix Slate system is
file based, these settings are saved on a show by show basis so every Broadcast Pix show that you
produce can have unique Audio-Follow commands.

In addition to remotely controlling audio mixers, the Broadcast Pix Slate system can control robotic
cameras through the Sony VISCA™ protocol, for the ultimate ‘one-man-band’ production. Examples of
controllable cameras are: Sony BRC-300, BRCH-700, EVI-HD1 and many others.
The Broadcast Pix software can control up to 9 cameras, with 6 presets each, directly from the 1 M/E
control panel. It uses the joystick to pan/tilt/zoom and knobs in the Device Control to adjust focus, iris and
other settings. There is a total of 6 presets per Sony camera. Each camera, preset and menu setting
appears directly on the PixButtons™ of the PixPad, as shown below, for ease of use and greater control.
A typical installation for the Sony VISCA cameras uses an RS-232C daisy chain configuration. See below
for example. A DB 9-pin to Mini Din 8-pin VISCA cable is used to connect the first camera to the
workstation’s communications port ( COM 1 or COM 2) and the other cameras are looped through each
other with a Mini Din 8-pin to Mini Din 8-pin VISCA cable through the VISCA In/Out ports. There is a
maximum length of 15 meters (50 feet) when using an RS-232C configuration. A 10 foot test cable is
included with the system when this option is purchased.
