PLAYOUT
TVW overhaul
VW turned to Keycode Media to design a workflow that would address everything on the network’s wish list. The new playout system features master and redundant Playbox Neo Airbox Neo systems, with 12 channels that interface directly with TVW’s third-party trafficking system, a Titlebox Neo interactive CG, Listbox for schedule creation and editing, Live Ingest, and the Multi-Backup Manager (MBM) for multi-channel redundancy. The system runs on the Playbox Neo Suite, which offers centralised control, monitoring and admin. T
DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTION
today’s fast-paced live production environment, technical and creative AJA powers Toby Santos’ hybrid set-up In
“For six months, I played an essential role in producing several different Viacom shows out of my house. I helped direct, record and manage graphics and logging for seven shows through my control room and two other control rooms for MTV and BET, managed two live broadcasts for BET, and recorded PSAs for CBS,” Santos recalled. “I needed a rock- solid I/O device that could handle multiple SDI feeds, integrate with vMix, stay in sync with no latency issues and provide a reliable output to my recorders. Corvid 88 is now an integral part of my portable production flypacks.”

For Los Angeles- based live production director Toby Santos, that shift has meant rethinking how shows are built, from planning and prep to final product. With a background spanning news, sports, music and corporate events, he is embracing a hybrid approach, combining technical direction with production and streaming in one cohesive workflow. At the core of it all is AJA’s Corvid 88 video/audio PCIe I/O card.
