New Echolab Products Being Introduced at IBC2008
At IBC2008, Echolab will showcase a range of exciting products for the production of sports, news, and live events. These unique new tools bring users unprecedented live production capabilities while simplifying operation and system design.

SuperBox Module — The new SuperBox module enables users of Echolab's advanced OvertureTM series of production switchers to put as many as six windows on screen at once. This plug-and-play solution simplifies news and sports production, allowing for simultaneous display of commentators, reporters, or program guests from different locations — all within one picture — without compromising the switcher's DVE capabilities. Accessible via the switcher's SuperSource" crosspoint key, SuperBox makes it easy for users to display multiple boxes from multiple sources while continuing to incorporate attention-grabbing transitions. The module's Intelligent Masking capability provides operators with the flexibility to move or scale each box with the mask, or to move and scale video while keeping the mask stationary. SuperSource simplifies layout configuration and streamlines transitions between these multiple-box shots and full-screen images.

MultiPlayMDTM — Echolab will be showing a live demonstration of the new MultiPlayMDTM multidefinition, multichannel instant-replay system in their booth at IBC2008. MultiPlayMD offers unique functionality at an affordable price point, providing continuous recording of up to 32 channels of SD or HD content. Working with MultiPlayMD, operators can switch instantly between live, play, and record functions, with instant synchronous playback available on all channels. The system is fully integrated with Echolab's Overture1TM and Overture2TM switchers and can take "still" and "slow" modes of operation from these panels or from Echolab's ConductorTM control integration system.

MegaKeyMDTM — Being introduced for the first time at IBC2008, MegaKeyMDTM is a powerful clip player, mixer, and keyer that can serve as a networked storage device for animated graphics and video clips. MegaKeyMD accepts both HD and SD inputs and features a two-channel internal mixer and internal linear keyer to support playout of dynamic video clips. The system is fully integrated with Echolab's OvertureTM switcher series to support complex animated transitions through the switchers' StingerTM feature. MegaKeyMD also may be used with Overture systems as an additional downstream keyer or mixer on any output.
