Broadcast Pix VOX™ enables any Flint, Mica or Granite systems to create great
live video without an operator. Use VOX as the primary control device, or
you can add a panel and manually control some shows and let VOX automate
others.
The 1RU VOX box detects which microphone is acve, and then sophiscated
VOX soware creates a video producon that looks so good that the audience
assumes an operator is running it. One VOX box can support up to 8 micro-
phones, and more can cascade for over 100 microphones.
For example, when the host talks into microphone 1, VOX can automacally
choose a camera preset, take the camera to air, fade on the graphic tle, hold,
and then fade o the tle.
VOX works by triggering powerful Fluent Macros on the Broadcast Pix system.
While VOX can execute simple shots for each microphone, the VOX soware
has the intelligence to do a LOT more. It can have mulple macros for each
microphone, like a wide shot and close-up. It can mix in a collecon of group
shots, like a wide shot or a shot with 3 PiP boxes. VOX can set how oen tles
are shown. Inputs can be priorized to rank the importance from the host to
the least important guest. To prevent every sound from acvang a macro,
a cough or a simple “yes” or “no” can be ltered out. Timing can be set for a
fast-paced producon, like radio, or for a slower one, like some meengs.
The host can take control of VOX, with the included 4-buon override panel.
For example, the host can roll an introductory clip, or select the wide shot, or
return the system to automated VOX control. For more extensive host control,
an oponal Remote Panel can be added.
Many radio staons are broadcasng on the in-
ternet or television, and VOX is a great way to add
video to it, without adding an operator. Shown
above is Qmusic, a radio network that broadcasts
video with VOX. According to Qmusic engineer
Rudi Wynants, “VOX makes it dynamic, so the
‘listener’ does not get the idea that everything is
automated by a computer.”
VOX is ideal for producing many meengs on television or the internet, including meengs
for government, corporate, and educaon. And thanks to the minimal constant delay of
the Broadcast Pix system, VOX is even great for auditorium producons.
VOX never gets red, Never gets bored.
VOX pays for itself quickly, and solves the meeng operator turnover problem. Oen producers
of meengs say: “My biggest headache is hiring and training operators. Operator turnover is
high, as the producons are oen not that much fun. My operators get bored and miss switches.
For some programs, we’ve given up on operators and just use a wide shot”.
