LAS VEGAS, NV — RushWorks, a Texas-based provider of low cost, high performance TV production, automation and presentation capture and streaming systems, is expanding its portfolio of production solutions with the addition of three new products being unveiled at its Booth SL 11808 during NAB 2016. They include the company’s Remo UbeRemote, Remo IsoTower and Talk-Take video switching software. Talk-Take, pictured here, automatically determines PTZ camera preset selection based on active microphone detection, without the need for a video operator to be present.
More details from RUSHWORKS (www.rushworks.tv):
REMO UBEREMOTE is a small, ruggedized PTZ production and streaming configuration with a 16” touch screen interface. With four analog or SDI inputs, it’s designed for the rigors of field production. A lot of power and performance is packed into this tiny chassis, with a price point of just $7,995.
“With the dramatic rise in remote content production from all sectors, we’ve enhanced the ability to set up and strike very quickly,” says Rush Beesley, President of RUSHWORKS. “REMO UBEREMOTE is tiny and lightweight, so you can throw it in the back seat or carry it on the plane. But the included and sophisticated PTZ camera control remains our singular strength.”
REMO ISOTOWER provides up to eight inputs and a 16” or 23” touch screen, with plenty of “horsepower” to record both the switched program and up to eight ISO camera inputs. It’s configured in a ruggedized aluminum chassis with carrying handle, and a snap-on trolley with wheels and extension handle.
Both REMO UBEREMOTE and REMO ISOTOWER include all three of RUSHWORKS’ production interfaces: CLASSIC, PRODUCER and TalkingPoints™, providing a level of versatility and flexibility unmatched in the industry. The software engine includes on-screen display of all input sources, Preview and Program windows, DSK window, virtual switcher display, and over a dozen video transitions and effects such as Picture-in-Picture, Double-Box and Chroma-key.
All the features and functions of REMO are available in RUSHWORKS’ VDESK configurations for fixed site operations. They are available in 4U and 5U chassis with sliding rack mount shelves.
The systems record MPEG-2 or H.264, and simultaneously stream using the on-board Flash Media Live Encoder. Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements are also included, providing a turnkey portable solution with everything a producer needs for high-quality, multi-camera remote production and post-production.
TALK-TAKE is intelligent video switching software that automatically determines PTZ camera preset selection based on active microphone detection – without a video operator present. Using a set of user-definable rules that emulate switching dynamics, it’s ideal for meetings and teleconferences. TALK-TAKE is included with RUSHWORKS’ VDESK and REMO PRODUCER interface.
