Fluent Watch-Folders greatly streamlines your live producon workow by enabling
clips and graphics to be sent over a network from your favorite edit staons and
graphics systems. For example, a Final Cut operator can send a clip into a Fluent
Watch-Folder for the 6 o’clock news program, and it will automacally appear in
the Granite system’s Fluent Clip Store for the 6 o’clock news. Late breaking news
can even ow into Watch-Folders during the middle of a live show. When it arrives
the status bar on the mul-view lets the operator know it has arrived, and it shows
up on the PixPad on both the mul-view and the control panel. A recent red carpet
show broadcast to millions of people had seven editors simultaneously feeding
clips and graphics into Watch-Folders during the event.
Fluent Macros comprise one of the most powerful parts of the Granite system. They
enable highly complex moves to be set up in advance and executed awlessly. And
unlike convenonal switcher memories that can only recall switcher moves, Fluent
Macros have access to all the devices in the Granite system, including specic clips,
animaons and graphics, as well as control of roboc cameras, audio mixers, etc.
For example, a single macro can bring on a dual box, start the animated background
le behind it, fade on the CG tle le, zoom one of the cameras, and then take one
of the DVE boxes to full screen.
The Macro player enables Macros to be named and organized, and red o with a
mouse or touch-screen, or they can be red from a PixBuon on the panel’s PixPad or
Macro buons. Macros can be created by simply recording a series of buon pushes,
and then edited using the powerful Macro editor. For example, this illustraon on right
shows an animaon transion, or “Alpha Wipe” in the Macro Editor, where you can
easily change the le used for the animaon, or the number of frames between steps.
Alpha Wipes
Fluent Macros enable Granite to easily perform the latest alpha wipes using your own
graphics. Just open an included transion Macro, point it at your logo, tweak its ming
if necessary, and you have a custom transion. They can be silent, or you can add audio
for a swoosh or other sound eect, which plays out the audio outputs on the Granite
Switcher.
Fluent SoPanels are an exact copy in a web browser or ash of a Broadcast
Pix control panel. A 2ME SoPanel comes with the Granite 5000, and more are
oponal to enable addional operators to control Granite, either on the system or
from a PC or Mac over a network. The 1ME SoPanel opon is a so version of the
Broadcast Pix 2ME control panel in the Granite 1000, and can also be added to a
Granite 5000 to provide a smaller control set to another operator.
