Broadcast Pix was behind the scenes when Time Warner Cable picked up Rochester Red Wings games for its regional sports cabler.
The Burlington, Mass., concern specializes in small-footprint, multifunction switchers such as the Slate 2100, which the Red Wings tech team uses to produce their game coverage. Jeff Coltoniak is the director of production for the Red Wings, a farm team for the Minnesota twins, located in Rochester, N.Y. He said the switcher provides the right combination of standards compliance and features he requires for game-day telecasts.
The Slate 2100 is on the top end of the Broadcast Pix line, which consists of switchers that control cameras, CG, still- and clipstore, DVE and other functions from a single workstation.
