Applications

A Few CrossOver Applications...

 

Broadcast Mobile

CrossOver makes a great mobile truck / OB van production switcher. The combination of production power and compact control panel and tiny rack frame are ideal for mobile applications. CrossOver offers the feature set required to produce High Definition broadcasts. CrossOver’s fluid user ergonomics and convenient features will make your programming come alive.

 

Space Limited Control Room

Ross Production Switchers are widely deployed in broadcast environments. While every broadcast producer wishes to enjoy the luxury of massive sound stages for every one of their productions, sometimes space and budget constraints interfere. Without sacrificing functionality or production quality, CrossOver fits into even the most space constricted control-room. The separate production engine housed in the equipment room keeps control-room noise and cabling to a minimum. CrossOver offers the production power to deliver a clean, great looking show on the air.

 

Edit Suites

The need for a compact and simple solution for linear editing remains equally relevant with the migration from Standard Definition over to High Definition productions. CrossOver, with support of industry standard editing interfaces, offers the right balance between powerful functionality and reasonable cost.

 

Back-up to Primary Productions Switcher

As a backup to a much larger primary production switcher, CrossOver 12’s dual redundant power option and its multi-definition I/O capacity combined with its budget sensitive pricing make it the ideal solution for protecting your mission critical productions. When not used as a live back-up switcher, it can increase the capacity of your primary system by feeding it ready-to-air pre-processed video.

 

House of Worship

Houses of Worship have special requirements for their video production equipment. It must be powerful, easy to use and handle multi-screen and multi-feed production. Another critical element for any live IMAG production is the absence of play-back delay. CrossOver features a simple user interface ideally suited for live productions as well as processes crisp 10 bit video in real-time with no visible lag.

 

Cost Effective Advanced Chroma Keyer

Ross Video’s UltraChrome™ uses advanced video processing technology to provide exceptional blue spill reduction and clean edges, even with difficult source material. Glass, smoke, translucent materials and natural shadows are handled superbly. Add support for 6 to 12 external multi-definition input sources, 8 tallies and remote control via GPI or Editor interfaces and you have one the industry’s most cost effective, professional grade chroma keying solutions!

 

Sport Venues

Not every facility has the display requirements of an Olympic Stadium but that doesn’t mean that you should compromise on quality. The budget sensitive CrossOver features up to 3 powerful keyers and offers 4 independent multi-definition outputs plus an assignable analog output giving you the flexibility to offer world class presentations without an Olympic sized budget.

 

Live Entertainment

Gives your shows extra punch and deliver effects to multiple screens. CrossOver’s convenient rapid operation featuring single touch wipe patterns, single touch 2D DVE effects and simple memory recalls allows you to create a compelling show in which you never miss a beat. Then take the show on the road thanks to CrossOver’s low weight and compact size.

 

Corporate Production

For cost effective productions, CrossOver is a breath of fresh air. Maintain superb production values combined with minimal video delay for a tight match to the live performance. With 4 independent multi-definition outputs, 10 quickly accessible memory recalls and up to 3 keyers, CrossOver offers lots of power in a small package. All of this is controlled from CrossOver’s easy to use control panel equipped with the ability to perform full previews on all outputs.

 

Flight Cases

The compact size of the panel and frame, the powerful and professional features as well as the tough and durable construction make CrossOver the best choice for mobile applications and flight cases.

 

Education

For campus TV, distance learning, IMAG presentation or operator training, Ross production switchers have always been popular with educators. The ease of use allows students to quickly grasp basic switcher concepts while the industry standard next transition style control means that training on a Ross switcher makes an easy transition to larger industry models. Ross offers a unique program “Ross University” that allows educators to provide training and certification to their students on Ross production equipment. This certification is a great bonus on a student’s resume and helps to secure that important first industry job out of school.

 

Master Control Cut-in

Need to frequently break into regular programming with news, sports or weather updates without burdening primary production facilities and staff? Big switcher features and superb, patented UltraChrome™ chroma key makes CrossOver the ideal cost effective solution.

 

Webcasting / Podcasting / Netcasting

Serious webcasters need serious tools to pull their productions together quickly and with a high quality broadcast look and feel. Being able to produce live hits from a studio complete with graphics, and effects can save hours of your precious time in editing. When working at web speed you will appreciate the ROI (return on investment) on your time that CrossOver can provide.
