Ross Video’s new MC1 Master Control was a huge success at NAB 2012! The world’s simplest and most cost effective master control solution received a lot of attention at its first official launch. The MC1 is an openGear, card based master control, which integrates seamlessly into any of our routers from the NK product line. Driving the MC1 is the world’s easiest control GUI, now built into DashBoard v5.0 control software, or it can run under any automation system supporting the PresMaster automation protocol.
“It is such a simple and easy system to operate, our demos literally took 5 minutes, and people were walking away as certified Ross Video Master Control operators!”
The big hit however, was not the simplicity or feature set, but the price! At $3495, the MC1 openGear card becomes one of the most cost effective way to launch a channel to air. Adding a second channel gets even easier, just add another MC1 openGear card to your openGear frame and it connects with the same router and uses the same control GUI. A touch screen is available for manual operation, or simply KVM the DashBoard control system off of your automation system to save space and cost.
Housing itself in the openGear frame has its advantages beyond master control. The remaining slots in the 2RU frame can offer openGear solutions such as Dolby encoding/decoding, Loudness processing or Nielsen Watermarking, along with hundreds of other openGear solutions.
