Azzurro (News - Alert) Systems Integration, a provider of Broadcast facility systems design and integration and all-digital, HD enabled video transport to the broadcast television, cable, IPTV (News - Alert), DTH satellite and enterprise markets, has added functionality to its AzzurroCam fully integrated, compact production system, to broaden its appeal to News Bureaus.
Designed to offer a reasonably priced, all-in-one, high-quality HD video transmission solution, AzzurroCam now supports HD, SD and anamorphic SD formats, can control box camera and robotics for higher-end studios or production facilities, and is available in a flypack configuration for portability.
Azzurro official also mentioned that the company’s enhanced solution is perfect for sports arenas, insert studios, corporate AV departments, or any facility requiring a robotically controlled single or multiple pan/tilt and zoom camera application.
New features includes easy-to-use yet feature-laden menu that has a proprietary touch screen interface enabling even non-technical users to control multiple cameras and set-up functions, DMX lighting, audio mixer with two microphone inputs, and IFB audio levels. Operation can be accomplished locally or remotely via a PC-based control system that permits remote control of all functions, with presets, using intuitive on-screen buttons, or a joystick and control panel.
Also, AzzurroCam is said to seamlessly interface to IP, ASI or HD/SDI transmissions. Moreover, a low-resolution video stream of the camera output is visible on the touch screen allowing a remote operator to frame shots.
Company official also clarified that AzzurroCam is easily customizable for multi-camera applications, or for single control of several locations. It comes equipped with a Sony robotic controlled HD/SD camera with pan/tilt, zoom, focus, aperture and camera painting.
