Softron Media OnTheAir Video DV


OnTheAir Video DV is the FireWire version of OnTheAir Video. Instead of playing out through a PCI card, as OnTheAir Video does, OnTheAir Video DV uses the FireWire port of your Mac to output the video. you just need to connect a FireWire converter, camera or deck to the Firewire port, and you are ready to air. It means that OnTheAir Video DV can run on simple laptops and MacMini. It is consuming very low processor speed, so you can run other things at the same time.

OnTheAir Video DV can be used for automated playout using its own scheduler or it can serve as a clip store for live news operations, local broadcast or live shows. Schedules can be created weeks in advance.

One of the main difference with OnTheAir Video is that OnTheAir Video DV only supports DV stream files, where OnTheAir video support most Quicktime codecs.

RME Fireface UCX


The Fireface UCX is a highly integrated pro audio solution in an ultra-compact format for studio and live recordings. It continues RME’s long tradition of designing compact high-end interfaces, packing into a half-rack size unit what usually would be spread out over two or three 19 inch panels.

In doing this the Fireface UCX marks a new packing record: 300 electronic components more than inside the already well-stocked Fireface UC! In a tremendous effort RME packed once again all the latest technologies, introduced with the award winning flagship UFX, plus a bunch of newly developed ones, into a half 19 inch housing with full mobile usability.

The result is an awesome combination of RME’s most successful products: Fireface UFX, Firefaces UC/400 and Babyface. The Fireface UCX is not just a smaller version of the smash hit UFX, with the HFX-core, the preamps and the complete effects engine, the UCX continues the tradition of RME’s tremendously successful compact interfaces, and combines it with the great usability of the Babyface through the included RME remote. With the Fireface UCX RME reinvented an already perfect product, by improving existing features and characteristics plus adding sophisticated new ones:

- 18 Input / 18 Output channels
- 8 x Analog I/O
- 2 x Mic/ Line Preamps, digitally controlled
- 2 x Line / Instrument inputs, digitally controlled
- 1 x SPDIF I/O coaxial
- 1 x ADAT I/O (or 1 x SPDIF I/O optical)
- 1 x Word Clock I/O
- 2 x MIDI I/O (via breakout cable)

Datavideo CKL-300 Chromakey Kit


Datavideo CKL-300 is a combination of a dual colour (Green & Blue) LED ring and a unique 3 x retro-reflective back drop cloth, which is embedded with tiny glass beads. Each retro-reflective cloth is 0.9 (w) x 2.5 metre (h) which velcros together and is great for expanding to larger Chromakey areas as your studio/projects grow.

The CKL-300 light ring can output either green or blue, which makes it ideal for tailoring your projects subject to ensure there are no colour clashes.

The LED light ring is mounted on the lens of the camera using the included 72mm or 82mm adapter and projects a highly directional green or blue light on the back drop cloth. Thanks to the cloths embedded glass beads, light is then reflected back to the camera creating a perfect green or blue background, providing you with excellent keying results with very little effort. The 3 x 0.9m (w) x 2.5m (h) retro-reflective back drop with Velcro on the left and right hand side allowing users to use either one cloth on its own, or join them together to form a larger background.

Additional optional cloths, for extended spread, are available. The unique backdrop will even allow you to get away with having the odd crease line, and the whole system is extremely quick to setup.

- Blue/Green LED Lights/Easily Switchable
- Two Fire-Retardant Reflective Screens
- Adapter Rings Fit Variety of Cameras
- Expandable Screens/Grommet/Pole Sleeves
- Includes Brightness Control
- Built-in Dimmer Control Switch
- Remote Control Interface
