Effortlessly Create and Control PiP Effects with Macro Wizards

Tyngsboro, Mass. – January 22, 2024 – Broadcast Pix is always looking for ways to streamline production workflows and enhance the creative possibilities for live producers. With the release of Version 10.2 for the Broadcast Pix Hybrid Production Systems, we’ve introduced a game-changing feature—Macro Wizards. This new enhancement makes it even easier to create, manage, and control complex Picture-in-Picture (PiP) effects and snapshot memories, giving you more control at your fingertips.

Watch the Broadcast Pix video on Macro Wizards to see how they can simplify your live production.

What’s New with Macro Wizards?

The latest upgrade to the Macro Wizard simplifies the process of creating and recalling multi-layered effects by introducing new Key Setups. Whether you’re adding dynamic PiP layers, saving custom snapshots, or triggering complex effects, you can now do it faster and more intuitively. Here’s how:

  • Direct Control from BPView and Commander: With the enhanced Macro Wizard, you can now control macros directly from the BPView or Commander user interfaces, as well as from any Broadcast Pix control panel. No more switching between different tools—everything you need is accessible in one place.
  • Simplified Key Setups: New Key Setups make it easier to save and recall your Picture-in-Picture effects, snapshot memories, and other essential production elements. Creating a sequence of PiP effects across different key layers is as simple as pressing a button.

Why Use Broadcast Pix Macros?

Broadcast Pix macros are one of the most powerful features in our production systems, designed to automate repetitive tasks and reduce production errors. With macros, you can pre-program and store camera and graphics moves, speeding up your workflow while maintaining high production quality.

Imagine managing three Picture-in-Pictures layered over an animated background, a lower-third graphic, and a spinning logo in one seamless shot—all triggered with the press of a single button. With Broadcast Pix macros, you can do all that (and more) effortlessly.

Here’s what sets Broadcast Pix macros apart:

  • Media-Aware: Our macros are media-aware, meaning they can handle media transitions, camera moves, file triggers, and graphic animations all at once.
  • Easy to Create and Edit: With the Macro Editor, you can record, edit, and modify macros using either your control panel or touchscreen interface. Whether you’re working with transitions, alpha wipes, or other multi-step effects, creating complex sequences is a breeze.
  • Store and Trigger: Store hundreds of unique macros, and trigger them with a single touch from the Macro Player. This includes everything from simple transitions to intricate multi-layer graphics, all customizable to fit your production needs.
