Expanding the TouchDrive™ Lineup with the TDx Series
Following the introduction of the TouchDrive™ TD3 and TD4 control panels at IBC 2023, Ross Video’s innovative production switcher panel lineup, with revolutionary touch-enabled LCDs, continues to grow with the launch of the TDx series.
Designed for the largest and most demanding live production environments, the all-new TDx3 and TDx4 production switcher control panels build upon the advancements of the TD3 and TD4 models by providing operators with even more control options through an additional row of selector buttons on each control stripe. This extra row delivers extended control capability for more efficient Key/Aux Bus Source assignment and Memory and Custom Control recall operations.
The TDx3 and TDx4 panels, with four rows of Source Selection buttons and one row of assignable buttons on each control stripe, provide operators with enhanced “at-a-glance” visibility of status. Mirroring the innovations of the TD3 and TD4 control panels, the TDx models boast features like the on-panel dual-menu display, 6-axis Joystick with programmable Shotbox buttons, and touch-enabled displays on both the left and right sides of each stripe.
The new TDx3 and TDx4 panels seamlessly integrate with a range of production switcher solutions from Ross, including:
TouchDrive™ production control panels provide unprecedented efficiency and ease of use. The high-res, touch-enabled LCDs on the panel provide an unmatched level of system control and allow operators to quickly and easily modify effects, bus maps, and more.
From the fly-pack-ready and space-saving TD1 & TD1C models to the TDx4, which offers maximum size, flexibility, and control, there is a TouchDrive™ model to suit your production requirements.
Operational efficiency is more critical than even in outside broadcast. The demands aren’t getting lighter and the schedules aren’t slowing down. See how a smart, flexible platform that consolidates your signal chain, reduces your hardware footprint, and streamlines every part of your workflow can help your team work faster and stay focused on what matters most.
Outside Broadcast investments need to perform for years. That means systems have to be flexible, upgradeable, and reliable across changing formats, standards, and client demands. A platform that can scale without ripping out hardware or rearchitecting the entire workflow becomes a serious advantage.
Cutting costs is not just about survival. It is about creating room for growth. When you can handle more formats, more feeds, and more client requests without adding to your operating expenses, you create space for new revenue. Hyperconverged solutions like Ultrix give you the tools to say yes more often.
