Brick House Video's NAB 2010 Line-Up Includes Compact HD Switcher, Upgraded Feature-Rich Converters And IP Control

Callisto Micro-HD SDI Switcher

Brick House Video’s NAB 2010 line-up included a balance of new and enhanced compact and cost-effective equipment for production and post-production. Products include an HD version of Callisto Micro - probably the smallest switcher on the market, a 3G capable up/cross converter, and a detail enhanced multi-format, and a multi-purpose converter. The manufacturer has also demonstrated its new on-board web server for remote IP control.

NEW HD: Callisto Micro-HD SDI Switcher

Previewing at NAB was the HD version of Callisto Micro, probably the smallest SDI switcher on the market! Callisto Micro-HD features 4 asynchronous HD inputs, multiple program/preview and monitoring outputs, 12V operation and a very small footprint. Callisto Micro-HD is designed especially for mobile crews, helicopter operators and other users for whom space, weight and ease of use are at a premium. The switcher also offers an on-board web server as part of BHV's policy to make all of its products controllable over IP.

NEW Features: Syntax Up/Cross-Converter

From NAB onwards, Syntax is shipping with an on-board web server and Ethernet port for remote control. Enhancements to this broadcast specification, attractively priced up/cross-converter include analogue video inputs and 3G capability. Based on advanced Super-Resolution Bandlet Technology, Syntax brings the performance advantages of motion-compensated processing without the associated disadvantages of high cost and occasionally severe artefacts. Syntax incorporates comprehensive audio facilities and offers up-conversion and cross-conversion with SDI I/O, analog inputs, noise reduction and ARC facilities.
