Eyeheight irisLite chosen for Russian OB vehicle

Moscow-based Matrix Engineering Group has chosen an Eyeheight irisLite eight-input SDI vision mixer for installation in an outside broadcast vehicle.
Selected for its compact size and high versatility, irisLite will be used for a variety of mobile production applications in and around the Russian capital.
Vladimir Migin, senior video technology specialist at Matrix Engineering, said: "We chose irisLite following a careful comparison of currently available vision mixers. Its combination of crosspoints controllable by a programme/preset pushbutton panel with T-bar vision mix/wipe is ideal for fast and efficient operation."
An 8-input/4-output version of Eyeheight's standard 12/4 iris, irisLite is configured for use in compact post-production suites, outside broadcast and mobile production vehicles or wherever space is at a premium. It performs full 10 bit mixing with programmable mix times and automatic or manual transitions. Integral features include a wipe, edge and matte generator with user-adjustable edges.
irisLite can be locked to external SDI reference sync and continues operation in the absence of source signals. Up to eight downstream keyers can be incorporated. EDH re-insertion is provided on main outputs. irisLite can handle widescreen and standard aspect ratios and is available for 625 and 525-line markets. Fully compatible with Eyeheight's wide product range, it occupies a compact 1U chassis with remote control panels.
