SAM supports multi-channel playout
Bringing more efficiency to multi-channel playout control , Snell Advanced Media ( SAM ) is unveiling Morpheus UX , a user-definable control interface for the Morpheus playout automation and ICE CiaB product line .
Morpheus UX , which can be seen at booth SL 1805 , is the result of a thorough analysis of today ’ s playout operations , where one size no longer fits all , according to SAM . It is designed to address the scale and complexity of channels in playout environments , and for operators to adapt to the increasingly trend of virtualisation . With Morpheus UX , ICE and Morpheus , users can build user-defined panels that precisely match their playout operations , and they can build screens made of as many of these panels as they need .
Specific functions can be built into any screen , in any layout , and recalled at any time . Unnecessary or rarely used functionality can be hidden away , while functions that
are required at the touch of a button are prominently displayed .
Morpheus UX also represents SAM ’ s goal to challenge the long-held belief of what a channel playlist view should consist , and to deliver a fresh approach to playout automation . With Morpheus UX , one operator can manage complex environments with more ease , with each channel able to benefit from a different look , adds SAM .
The Morpheus UX control interface will define a new era in multi-channel playout , declares SAM .
