APEX Production Studio

Portable solution for TV and internet Full HD broadcasts

Our compact APEX Production Studio chassis incorporates all of the needed systems for full professional broadcasts. The chassis easily connects to all other needed components to make a complete system. Professional SDI and HDMI video inputs allow for different grades of video cameras. An external audio-mixer with XLR and TRS inputs allows for a remote commentator and sound from the location (such as a sports hall). The APEX is very easy to control via a vivid touchscreen interface, which looks similar to smartphones and tablets.

PORTABLE

APEX’s lightweight and compact chassis can be transported by a single person. The complete system takes just a little space during operation and storage.

RELIABLE

We have extensive broadcasting experience for many different types of events. This has given us the knowledge needed to develop a reliable and robust APEX system.

SIMPLE

After a short amount of training, even a child can learn to broadcast with our intuitive and clear touchscreen interface to the APEX.

AFFORDABLE

APEX is competitively priced. It is affordable to different grades of events/budgets without additional costs for separate systems and expensive staff.

VIDEO SWITCHER

The key advantage of our APEX video switcher is a simple interface in front of a powerful functionality that helps a user to easily navigate during the broadcast process. One touch on a preview window brings a signal from a camera to the output stream; camera inputs are easily mixed with onscreen graphics and sound. This interface was developed in such a way that it can be learned fast, even by non-professionals, within a few hours.

TITLING SYSTEM

Can you imagine a sports broadcast without team names, scores, time and player names? On-screen graphics are an integral part of any professional broadcast. APEX has a built-in system for animated and static titles. It can be controlled directly from the APEX interface or from a remote workplace by a title operator. Users can also set up cutaways.

INSTANT SLOW MOTION REPLAYS

Lots of impressive moments happen during sporting competitions. Instant slow motion replays help viewers enjoy these episodes again from different angles (cameras). That’s why instant replays are integrated into any professional sports broadcast. With APEX, the video director can record video highlights from all cameras using a single touch. Each captured moment is automatically saved into a playlist. When needed, the replay can be recalled from the playlist and put into the live broadcast with normal, slowdown, acceleration, forward and backward video control.

ENCODER

The encoder is the computing core of APEX. It is responsible for the quality encoding of incoming video into a correspondent format with set up parameters. The encoder simultaneously broadcasts encoded video to TV channels, online platforms (YouTube, Facebook, Twitch.), local SmartTVs and set top boxes. Also, APEX can be used offline (if there is no internet connection) video is stored on a local drive that can be reviewed and later uploaded from an office with an internet connection.
