The PixBox: all of the essential functions of a 4 to 8 camera broadcast television control room in a suitcase sized portable package.

All the essential functions of a broadcast television four to eight camera control room in a small, suit-case size package. About 25 pounds, this new, revolutionary TV production tool features a 17" high-resolution color LCD to show up to eight source inputs as well as Preview and Program monitors on one screen at the same time. The Preview and Program
monitors can instantly zoom to full screen, without affecting the output signal, for critical live editing directorial judgements.

Time Base Corrected switching allows a mixture of consumer, prosumer and professional cameras to be inter-cut with "plug and play" compatibility from either 4 Composite Video, 4 S-Video and/or 2 FireWire inputs as well as four stereo Audio inputs. Outputs are: 4 Composite, 4 S- Video and 1 daisy-chainable FireWire output. 2 stereo Audio outputs as well a FireWire encoded audio and video output are also available. Bright LED's ensure proper audio levels.

A separate VGA connection allows an outboard 18" or larger Director's Monitor to be used along side of the PixBoxTM although the unit itself is a complete stand-alone control room for web-streaming, cable TV remotes and/or broadcast television location control.

This unit meets RS-170A broadcast specifications for complete professional quality. The PixBoxTM includes an 8 station, 2 channel P-L Intercom system so the Director has complete communication with camera operators.

This unit is perfect for webcasting, cable-casting and/or video recording live school sports events, local government and community meetings, seminars, lectures, entertainment venues, hotel AV departments, recording studio sessions, church services, and all multiple-camera, live one-time-only events. A patent is pending.
