Looking to Automate your Station????

Here is a Great Savings 7.0 software Version

SD & HD

2 Grass Valley Ignite Application servers

1 Grass Valley Media Object Portal

1 Grass Valley Katlayst panel
(Purchase does not include computer display panels)

This is a fully redundant system that is currently operational and in excellent condition.
This system was purchased in 2011.
Current software version is 7.0.0 but is fully upgradeable to version 7.5 with Grass Valley support.

System is out of warranty but technical support is available from GVG.

The current producers of our daily talk show wanted camera pedestals to move throughout the production so the original format into Konnect could no longer be used.

Will work with Kalypso, Karrera, and Kayenne Switchers.

Manuals are downloadable from GVG. Available for shipping in 2 to 3 weeks.

Purchase does not include computer display panels

Ignite Konnect

Integration of Kayenne & Karrera Switchers with Ignite Production Automation

With the Ignite Konnect Live Production Automation System — the first and most complete link between the control room and the newsroom — you choose the level of automation that best suits your specific workflow and environment. Ignite lets you speed up your transition to digital production and eliminate technical errors, so you can produce more, and better live content quickly, efficiently and economically — with fewer staff. Move to flexible control room automation without changing your existing switcher workflow. Ignite Konnect scales up to meet your needs, so you can leverage the effects you've already built and take advantage of your existing Kayenne or Karrera Video Production Center switcher.
