Avid Technology : PlayMaker 3.1— Next-Generation Slow-Motion Replay with Avid Interplay | Production Collaboration

Switch up your I/O with robust reliability

The PlayMaker server supports up to 8 I/O channels, housed in a compact 3U chassis. The I/O is fully flexible, enabling you to switch from a 4 in/4 out configuration to a 6 in/2 out or other preferred setup-within seconds. It's also designed for 24/7 operation, with full RAID protection and dual power supplies, providing the hardware robustness required in an OB truck under constant movement.

Control playback with a touch

The PlayMaker Controller is designed to enhance your production workflow, providing familiar and intuitive controls. Its 5.7-inch color touchscreen gives you quick and easy access to the server's controls and configuration tools. It also features a heavy-duty and configurable Jog wheel and T-bar, as well as highly reliable, illuminated tactile buttons.

Instantly edit highlights

Using the built-in editing tools, you can easily gather clips into playlists and packages for pregame rundowns, game highlights, or postgame melts. The intuitive and simple interface enables you to set each clip's position in the list, trim the clip's 'in' and 'out' points, switch to different angles, set different playout speeds and transitions for each clip, and more.

Tag and sort clips with ease

The built-in SmartEvents engine is a powerful tagging and sorting tool. It can automatically tag clips with descriptive metadata, requiring minimal effort by the operator, making it easy to locate what you want using the PlayMaker Controller.

Share videos over network

Engage any PlayMaker server on your network with just a click of a button. Once connected, you can browse through the remote server clip list and select any clip for preview, copy, or instant playback.
