Lift the lid on the integrated 5U flight case design and up pops a 24" HD touch screen. Simply plug in the power, cameras, outputs - and it's ready to go.The touch screen control interface is a totally intuitive and liberating experience. By directly touching the multiview it influences quicker decision making and promotes creativity. This is especially effective with live music and unpredictable action.The mixer has only 1 line of delay (less than a frame), which is great for events with IMAG (big screens) with lip-sync requirements.No console? The concept of this vision mixer is that you simply don't need one - but if for some reason you do, a traditional desk can be arranged.
The Jackinabox Ingest system gives you so much more than multicamera ISO record decks. With our own specially designed hardware and software it’s now possible to record 10x HD feeds, timeline synced and ready to go.
- Record for up to 10 hours on each camera @ ProRes 422 / DNxHD 120
- Monitor wirelessly 1-10 feeds simultaneously over WiFi (smart phone compatible)
- Control settings and trigger record over WiFi
- Watch the action with only 1-frame of latency / zero buffering
- Backup in realtime during record for immediate derig
- Automatically create an XML project for Premiere/AVID/FCP synced and ready to edit
- Edit while capture when used as an EDI Server (see next page)
Designed to be paired with Jackinabox Ingest systems, the EDI server makes it possible for an editor to be working with footage as it’s still being recorded. Seconds away from realtime, an editor can immediately get to work; re-editing the vision mix, adding graphics, VTs, lower thirds and logo bugs. Brilliant for concerts, conferences, or anything requiring a rapid turnaround/broadcast - potentially completing the edit, getting client approvals and loading out before the cameras have even been derigged. Rather than waiting around for backups at the end, the EDI server's 10TB NAS drive also creates a realtime backup - so you can leave site quickly without waiting to backup at the end or bring any additional hard drives.
... working on the last couple of features on the Jackinabox Engineering Rack - ready for action soon!
Jackinabox Livestream Encoder is a realtime h.264 live encoder compatible with any CDN (Content Delivery Network). Ready to go, in a 4U case with twin 20" screens to setup and monitor; streaming health, internet speed, encoding quality, latency, and analytics. Although live streaming has become very popular, it’s still a dark art to many technical broadcast veterans. Which is why we offer free consultation and include a technician within the hire package. Especially with newer platforms like Facebook Live which are still developing and refining their configuration methods. The key to successful a stream doesn't just start and end with the shooting process, and it's developing all the time. Theres a lot you've probably never even thought of. See our blog for a useful insight
For productions requiring something more comprehensive than the standard vision mixer’s included audio mixer, the Jackinabox Multi-Track Audio unit includes an Allen & Heath GLD80 Chrome Edition desk capable of mixing and recording 48 tracks. A compact yet fully featured system, it’s perfect for OBs, live streams, music festivals or concerts. XLR looms to connect to the vision mixer, VT playback and house are included – and a 3-way active-split stage box, Multi-core and Power distro are available on request. If it’s outside your expertise, consultation on your behalf with end-clients can be arranged to discus appropriate integration with PA systems for large events. An audio engineer can also be added to the package if required. Post event remixing and mastering options also available.
A dual purpose, 4U rack computer system for VT playback and video editing on-site. How many times have you been asked to edit a VT or been given content that needs tweaking moments before cue time? Well, to avoid back and forth issues our VT playback system is also a fully loaded edit system. Systems specs include 4K, HD, SD input/output SDI cards with multiple GUI monitor outputs and as you'd expect, a full range of software for editing, encoding and playback is pre-installed.
As comprehensive as the PPU setup is, unforeseen situations and client requests can sometimes arise causing panic on the day. That's why it's good to know that the included technician/s not only have the know-how to problem solve but also a van full of just about every adapter, cable and tool to quickly get you back on track.
