MX evolves for the hybrid world

With the infrastructure supporting live events gradually shifting from SDI video to IP networks, Broadcast Pix’ MX Hybrid production solution allows users to integrate a blend of SDI, HDMI and IP video sources to serve an increasingly hybrid world.

“We are very pleased to announce MX Hybrid, the latest product in our range of easy-to-use live production solutions,” commented Graham Sharp, CEO of Broadcast Pix. “The feature rich, future proof and flexible MX Hybrid will serve the production needs of government, broadcast, live events and visual radio users well into the future with its hybrid input configuration and video format agnostic support. We are offering competitive upgrades to existing users and coupled with our customer support packages, we are fulfilling our vow never to leave any customer behind.”

The MX Hybrid provides eight network/IP inputs alongside three SDI (HD and 4K) and one HDMI/SDI/analogue input. Four programme (two SDI and two NDI) and aux assignable outputs are also onboard, while six Keyers are available for DVEs and chromakey. The device is capable of built-in streaming, recording and audio mixing with hardware that fully supports 1080p/60 and 4K video resolution.

The device also supports remote “browser-based” operation with GuestPix remote guest integration as well as chat and intercom functionality, and provides what is described as an easy-to-use interface. Enhanced macros automate repetitive tasks to ensure consistency of production.
