MC1 is a keying, branding and master control system that scales to the needs of your SD, HD or UHD playout channel from simple logo insertion to fully automated master control. It is part of a complete Ross suite of Master Control tools but can also be integrated into an existing channel playout and distribution chain, adapting to existing tools and workflow, including most popular automation and EAS systems.
MC1 offers high quality keying, mixing and logo insertion capabilities plus DVE and audio processing tools to realize your channel and brand’s potential, built on the robust openGear platform providing a rock-solid installation.
MC1 features flexible audio shuffling, ensuring all your audio channels are in order, with adjustable gain and downmix. Each source can be independently configured with multiple presets to handle changing feeds with ease. Manage voice-over and audio-over needs with MC1. At the push of a button, a program audio can be ducked (to a user-selected level) and VO inserted, with fully programmable audio gain level.
MC1 features 4 keyers with 2 external key/fill sources and 2 internal logo generators. Logos can be pre-loaded or driven from XPression via Rosslinq network interface. Logos can be positioned and can be triggered with flexible animation playout control. MC1 allows your on-air look to be tailored exactly to your needs.
Perform smooth on-air SqueezeBack transitions to reveal another video source or graphic with ease, even in UHD. SqueezeBacks can be integrated into standard transitions, either with or without keys. Squeezeback size, position and aspect can be stored as preset for clean, repeatable squeezes every time!
MC1 features a background mixer and 4 downstream keyers. All key and background transitions feature full preview, so you always know what’s coming up next. Use with a router as part of a complete Master Control switcher, or stand-alone as a powerful branding engine.
Also included is an integrated EAS crawl generator featuring user-selectable size, color and scrolling speed.
Designed to fit into your playout environment, MC1 features a rich set of control interfaces. Supporting most popular automation systems via IP, serial or GPI control, MC1 can be easily configured for unattended 24/7 operation. However, when manual control is required, included touchscreen GUI via DashBoard™ or optional hard control panel make hands-on operation a snap. MC1 also interfaces with Ross Ultrix or many 3rd party routers via popular control protocols.
MC1 is a modular openGear solution that is scalable to fit your needs. Up to 10 channels can fit into a single openGear frame and up to 10 channels can be integrated into a single control interface for simplified multi-format or multi-language applications. Adding additional channels to the system are easy, allowing MC1 to grow with you.
MC1 UHD can be used as a stand-alone keyer for program branding, or as the heart of a larger, full-feature master control system.
