Mira

Mira Control Surface features a “wide and slim” ergonomic design, for ease of use and smooth replay operations. All buttons on the control surface are logically grouped and color-coded to function, with generous spacing around every button.

The ten softkeys located at the top edge of Mira Control Surface are labeled with legends at the bottom of the GUI display. They provide one-button access to all camera views, even when up to ten cameras are in use. In addition, the two most often-used controls: the T-Bar (for slow motion speed control); and the Rotary Dial (for searching content) are ergonomically located at “shoulders width” on the control surface.

Mira Control Surface comes with a full-sized QWERTY keyboard that conveniently fits directly in front of the Mira Control Surface. This makes routine functions like clip naming and searching quite easy and very comfortable for the operator.

The Mira Replay graphical user interface compliments the Control Surface by providing operators with a single “heads-up display” to follow the action, manage all clips/playlists, and to easily export media files. Time-saving elements such as programmable softkeys that permit assigning common naming terms for fast and consistent clip annotation, further enhance operator efficiency. Visually, this application features intuitive color-coded program output frames and “mode status” indicators within the video panes of the replay application, to clearly show the current function of each output channel.

A wide variety of the most commonly used professional file formats can be imported via the built-in USB-2, USB-3, USB-C, Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Up to nine Export destinations can be pre-defined by the operator, with each including: file codec and wrapper; export pathway; file naming parameters; “clip handle” inclusion of an extra 5-seconds heads and tails; and whether playlist content is exported as “one’ or as “many” media files. Once these export destinations are defined, the operator may export to these destinations directly from the Mira Control Surface during a live Replay event. These export tools efficiently send captured live content as media files into your downstream craft editing systems, web streaming devices and archival storage.

For Mira+ servers fitted with AVC-Intra video hardware, Growing File Export is a standard feature – which allows multiple MXF media files to be written onto external NAS (one for each camera input), just seconds after live capture begins. This feature allows editors connected to the NAS to begin editing with these growing files while live capture is still underway—resulting in a very streamlined and time-efficient live editing workflow.
