CUTTING EDGE BROADCAST
BLADE//runner is a suite of live broadcast production software and hardware which provide a wide variety of tools for professional productions. Designed with a highly flexible and modular core allowing for the creation and deletion of resources and functions on-the-fly. BLADE//runner is controllable by an open API as well as through NMOS IS-04/-05 (and Ember+ via BLADE//master) and is designed for the modern broadcast facility, where flexibility and scalability are essential.
Applications
Tools for your setup and workflow
Flows
Flows is part of the Blade//runner GUI hosted on every AT300 blade.
It offers an easier, graphical way to:
- Route audio and video in a blade without any restriction and patch receiver SDPs from another blade
- Activate/Deactivate transmitter and receiver sessions
- Create transmitters, receivers, players and processors (color correctors, video mixers/dsk, splitters, delays, SRCs, stereo mixers, audio shufflers)
Blade//planner
Blade//planner is an offline application that gives you the power to easily configure blades without the need of a full-blown control system or scripting. You can create and route all your video and audio sources and destinations without active connections to Blade//runner. It has import and export functionality for your configurations and the created configuration files can be uploaded to Blade//runner for an automated setup process.
Blade//amixer
Blade//amixer is a fully-featured audio mixer running on the AT300 IPA app (or without audio processing on AVP). It offers customizable channel layouts for its web based virtual panel with graphical controls for equalizers and compressors. Control via REST or Websocket is also possible.
V//telemetry
Blade//master
Blade//master is our Ember+ interface which can run either on any PC or on an AT300 blade. It offers a configurable set of Blade//runner features of one or multiple blades, made available for Ember+ compatible control systems for an easy integration of Blade//runner to all kinds of work environments. Blade//master can be set up as one or multiple instances. It fully supports the IP Router application and offers all sources and destinations as big Ember+ matrices. It automatically adds new components and marks deleted ones as offline. In addition, Blade//master supports protocols for direct control of hardware panels.
