The MC1 is a cost-effective Master Control System built to meet the demands of 24/7 operation. A dedicated card-based solution provides complete program path protection using input bypass relays, protecting your channel output. Our hot-swap system allows a single spare MC1-MK card to replace any on-air channel card, and have all of the channel's parameters automatically recalled to the replacement MC1-MK card.
Intuitive DashBoard operation allows for an easy transition, and brings users up to speed quickly. Simple scaling solutions allow for additional openGear® cards; add an additional channel by adding a 2nd MC1-MK, or add a variety of additional functions such as Loudness Processing, Dolby™ Encoding, and Nielsen watermarking.
The MC1-MK Mixer/Keyer openGear® card can be used without an NK router for stand-alone applications including any combination of the following:
- Stand-alone Branding and Logo insertion
- Stand-alone Emergency A/B mixing
- Stand-alone EAS insertion
- Stand-alone SqueezeBack
