Feature Product - SportsBox
Big Production Power from the Industry's smallest Remote Switcher
Flexibility without compromise for High-Action Multi-Camera Productions
Meet SportsBox – the broadcast industry’s smallest remote switcher and format processor. Designed to bring flexibility and portability to high-action multi-camera productions, SportsBox is uniquely capable of transmitting four camera signals down a single video path (5G, COFDM), giving access to four cameras feeds for live viewing/mixing in the production gallery with full 4K 60P 4:2:2 throughout. SportsBox offers four full format SDI inputs so any source from SD to 4K in any mix can be scaled, synchronised, and transferred by one wireless link.

Overview
SportsBox is the broadcast industry’s smallest remote switcher and format processor. Designed to bring flexibility and portability to high-action multi-camera productions, SportsBox is uniquely capable of transmitting four camera signals down a single video path (5G, COFDM), giving access to four cameras feeds for live viewing/mixing in the production gallery with full 4K 60P 4:2:2 throughout. SportsBox offers four full format SDI inputs so any source from SD to 4K in any mix can be scaled, synchronised, and transferred by one wireless link.
At the receiving end, two modes are possible:
(i) Single mode: the 5G/COFDM receiver will output an SDI programme feed.
(ii) Dual mode: the 5G/COFDM feed passes to a second SportsBox in receiver mode, allowing for live edit decisions. This provides two outputs:
(a) SDI programme feed
(b) HDMI gallery feed, comprising a multiview of the
programme and three preview feeds.
