Watch-Folders
Fluent Watch-Folders
Unlike conventional switchers that take only video inputs, Slate
systems can input video and files. This greatly streamlines live
production workflow, by enabling clips and graphics to be sent over a network from edit stations or graphics systems to the Slate system, even during the middle of a live production. No need to wait to record a clip onto a server. No need to have a separate clip operator cueing the clip. The clip just appears on Slate’s multi-view and its name appears on the control panel’s PixButton, and it can be set to auto-start upon going to air.
Slate uses innovative Watch-Folders, which automatically adds content to your show. For example, you might have one Watch-Folder for the 6 o’clock news program, and one for the 9 o’clock. Editors simply send the content over a network into the correct Watch-Folder and it is automatically added to that show, even late breaking news that comes in during a news cast. Data flows in without taking time to do file
conversion, as Slate handles many HD and SD native formats. With more than 1 TB of storage capacity, Slate accepts large clip files.
