How Broadcast Pix Changed the History of Switchers and Integrated Production Systems

Chelmsford, Mass. – Jan. 7, 2020 – The first integrated production systems (IPS) with the functionality required to produce complex shows became available in the early 2000’s. It was developed by digitalizing the M/E process of combining video sources using effects and keys within one dedicated system and brought the advantages of fully integrated functionality at an affordable price point. Broadcast Pix is proud to be one of the original IPS pioneers with the launch of our first product – Broadcast Pix Studio – in 2003.

Broadcast Pix Studio featured a unique tactile control system that introduced the ability for one person to control an entire fast-paced studio, complete with on-the-fly switching, titles, logos, special effects and picture-in-picture. This break-through product featured a control panel, 10-bit DV non-stop operation, and scaled to a network of operators in the studio and even remotely. All popular formats were supported to work with existing studio equipment. Best yet, Broadcast Pix Studio provided savings of up to 80 percent off the purchase cost a of a comparable control room.

When Broadcast Pix Studio debuted at the 2003 NAB Show, it went on to win 3 industry awards including The Vidy Award, The Government Video Salute Award and The Digital TV Television Broadcast: Editor’s Pick of Show.

Since then Broadcast Pix has proudly continued the tradition of being innovators in the IPS field with user-friendly systems make it easy for anyone to produce great live video with minimal training. To learn more about Broadcast Pix, contact us directly here or request your free online demo below.
