Ross Video Introduces a Complete Video Production Solution
posted:
“PC based ‘all in one’ production systems have become quite popular these days, but often they lack the robustness and ease of use of dedicated products,” said David Ross, CEO, Ross Video. “Crossover Studio will provide users with tightly integrated operations and ease of use, while avoiding operational bottlenecks that limit creativity. We also offer the added benefit of future expansion possibilities.”
Crossover Studio is the perfect solution for Houses of Worship, Corporate and Educational producers wanting to migrate to HD production. Simply add cameras and an LCD screen and your system is complete. Producers will be able to create the same broadcast quality results they expect from larger and more complex systems, quickly and inexpensively.
The system combines the CrossOver 16, 1 MLE Production Switcher, the SoftMetal 3000 Series Video Server with 1 Channel of Record and 2 Channels of Playout, and the XPression Live CG software allowing users to create compelling 3D graphics and beautiful key content.
CrossOver Studio is currently available in Multi-Definition (MD) and Standard Definition (SD) versions. SD versions have a lower purchase cost and can be upgraded to MD at anytime. Lifetime software support and switcher updates are included as standard, as is the industry’s best customer service.
