Next June 14 and 15, Snell will organize two days in the Image City of Madrid to present some of its latest developments, among which the new Kahuna 360 mixers and the Sirius 800 matrices stand out.

The Kahuna 360 platform facilitates automation, networking and control tasks, thus giving operators more time to focus on the creative aspect of production. New Source Safe technology allows any Kahuna 360 input to connect to third-party devices, integrating it into production operations.

Together with the Galaxy Event List Galaxy, both technologies allow increasing flexibility by automating routine but critical tasks within the production and broadcast workflow. Eliminating the need to manually configure format conversion processes and reducing the time required to configure and trigger events increases the time that switcher operators can devote to various aspects of live artistic production.

Among other advantages, Kahuna 360 automatically detects an input signal and establishes the correct treatment without the need for intervention from the operator or engineering staff. With this capability, the system can detect the format of the signal source ensuring it is seamlessly included in the workflow with complete security.

Sirius 800

Also new is the Sirius 830, the newest member of the Sirius 800 family of large-scale, multi-format and expandable matrices. At 16RU, the new Sirius 830 offers 288 x 288 in a compact system ideal for small and medium-sized studios or mobile units, with the ability to provide a complement of 144 independent controllable outputs for connection to Snell's MV Series or another third-party multi-display solution. The new router can be seen at Snell's booth 8.B60 at IBC2010.

Like all routers in the Sirius 800 family, the Sirius 830 offers high-performance modular cross-point features for flexible routing of SD, HD, ASI, 3 Gbps and embedded audio signals. Optional redundant crosspoints use intelligent path monitoring to automatically switch to the redundant path and issue a user alarm across the entire Snell Centra control system and monitoring application.
