At the 2008 NAB Show, 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.

MultiPlayMD™ — Echolab will be showing a live demonstration of the new MultiPlayMD™ multidefinition, multichannel instant-replay system in their booth at NAB. The MultiPlayMD offers unique functionality at an affordable price point, providing continuous recording of up to 32 channels of SD or HD content. Every input features an independent key channel. 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 Overture1™ and Overture2™ switchers and can take "still" and "slow" modes of operation from these panels or from Echolab's Conductor™ control integration system.

MegaKeyMD™ — Being introduced for the first time at the 2008 NAB Show, the MegaKeyMD™ 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 Overture™ switcher series to support complex animated transitions through the switchers' Stinger™ feature. MegaKeyMD also may be used with Overture systems as an additional downstream keyer or mixer on any output.

Overture1™ and Overture2™ — Echolab's new Overture1™ (1 ME) and Overture2™ (2 ME) switchers, available in standard definition (SD) and multidefinition (MD) models, combine internal conversion and synchronization with powerful key layering and special effects. In addition to four ME keys and two downstream keyers, which enable title keying for graphics, logos, and bugs, the Overture family features unique Stinger™ and SuperSource™ keys that make it easy to achieve expert transitions with minimal effort.
