Conductor
Product Model: Conductor
Description:
Conductor is a powerful touch screen software suite that helps you
deliver the best program possible. Difficult tasks can be automated
and executed with total confidence while on air. During
pre-production, Conductor can configure the switcher, build complex
sequences and assign them to soft buttons. On air, Conductor becomes
an extension of the control panel; a touch screen interface executes
sequences, loads graphics into the frame buffer, routes auxiliary
outputs, and controls 3rd party devices.

Powerful 2 Channel Still Store
The graphics tab of the Conductor serves as a powerful 2
channel still store. A preview area shows a thumbnail view
of all the images available for use and updates this view
dynamically. An illuminated tally marker tells you if a
frame buffer is currently on air with protection to prevent
you from accidently loading graphics directly to air.
Conductor also has 2 Ethernet ports so that one can be
connected to your company’s network while the other is a
dedicated connection to the switcher, allowing your graphics
department to securely transfer images to Conductor without
affecting live production.
Sequence Builder
Now building a sequence is simple! With Echolab’s
Sequence Builder tool, you can prepare a sequence that can,
with a single touch, launch a series of events, from simple
M/E preset recalls to elaborate effects that fire GPO
triggers and control 3rd party devices. Sequences can be
created either directly within the Sequence Builder tool or
by recording control panel activity that can then be edited
or reordered to achieve desired event timing.
Auxiliary Output Control
The intuitive aux tab of the Conductor lets you quickly
route sources to auxiliary outputs. Descriptive labels
provide innate access to input sources, allowing you to
easily assign sources to auxiliary outputs in a natural
fashion. Additionally, any of the auxiliary outputs can be
locked to prevent accidental changes.
Integration Interface
Traditionally during live production, operations are
performed at the control panel, the video server, the clip
store, the character generator, which can be taxing.
Thankfully, Conductor localizes control of 3rd party devices
to provide a single point of control for you to communicate
with the video server, the clip store and the character
generator. Conductor comes with all the protocols needed to
setup the communication link between the device and the
Conductor control panel.
Configuration Utilities
Conductor comes preloaded with the Echolab configuration
utilities that make setup easy. Using a graphical interface
you can name sources, assign sources to crosspoint buttons,
configure tallies and GPIO triggers. You can also choose the
input and output format of the switchers I/O modules and
dynamically assign custom names and bitmaps to the aux
buttons on the panel and see these changes immediately.
