Crystal Vision will be launching a frame system, Vision 3, at CABSAT 2016, taking place from 8 to 10 March at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, Dubai . The initial Vision products include chroma and linear keyers, up and down converters, synchronisers, embedders, video and audio delays and audio converters. As well as the launch of the Vision new products, Crystal Vision has upgraded its existing Indigo products with enhanced features. Also on the agenda this year Crystal Vision will be discussing its video over IP solutions for the Vision 3 frame.

CABSAT 2016 will see the new frame system for the first time in the Middle East. Vision 3 is going to be compatible with IP and 4K. Extra outputs ensure that more signals can be used which stops the need for DAs. Dual syncs distributed from the frame to each card allows easier wiring and redundant operation. Vision 3 has two 1Gb/s Ethernet connections for control and file transfer which allows the card software to be updated remotely. There is also a powerful remote backup to restore all card settings and presets for system security.

To cover all aspects of keying, Crystal Vision has released three keying products in its Vision range, all able to work with 3Gb/s, HD or SD sources and including extra main and auxiliary outputs. The SAFIRE 3-VF has extra features to include built-in colour correction and video delay. Similar is the SAFIRE 3-VF XPRESS, an alternative chroma keyer with easy control, ideal for weather, news bureaus and other single static camera applications. For any linear keying needs, the LKEY-VF is designed for the simple keying of one graphic over video streams and includes vital features such as a framestore synchroniser on each input, masks with adjustable edge softness and fades.

Also at the stand will be Crystal Vision s upgrade to its main frame system, Indigo which has enhanced features such as a backup and restore of settings making it easy to duplicate installations, put replacement boards into the correct state and return an installation to a recorded state. The Indigo range still has a full range of products that can be housed in a choice of three difference frame sizes.

Vision 3 frame has the ability to handle higher bandwidth signals and Crystal Vision will shortly be introducing gateway and firewall products to help broadcasters make the transition to an IP video infrastructure. Converting between SDI and IP signals and offering wide protocol support, the gateway products all have a fully functioning software-based IP stack providing support for ARP, IEEE802.1g (VLAN), IGMP (Multicasting), ICMP and ping. Multiple IP addresses can be used for each connection to allow access to multiple VLANs from the same physical connection. An IP-only version of the product allows changing of the IP addresses and other network settings to provide firewall capability. There are video synchronisers on every stream and up to ten frames of delay plus status reporting of video validity, video standard, black or frozen video and audio silence.
