VECTORBOX offers different models catering for individual channel requirements and budgets, from the VECTORBOX DSX for smaller channels up to the VECTORBOX 6000 and VECTORBOX 8000 for premium SD and HD applications. All our systems share the same advanced software features down to the last detail.

VECTORBOX systems follow the broadcast tradition by using the very best hardware available. Systems are often judged by outside appearances, but we are meticulous about what goes inside every VECTORBOX. All hardware is not equal and we have discarded hundreds of components to establish a hierarchy of quality and compatibility that both we and our customers can rely on for years to come.

VECTORBOX 8000HD includes our proven master control room automation for managing feeds from satellite, VTR and studio, a high-performance video server and fully integrated graphics overlay including bugs, animations and real-time tickers and titling linked to RSS feeds and other remote databases.

Support for a wide range of video and metadata file standards makes integrating into any file-based workflow easy, and support for all alphabets and fonts allows worldwide use.

With a single SDI input and dual outputs, VECTORBOX 6000 offers simultaneous ingest and playout with graphics from a single chassis and takes the channel-in-a-box solution to new heights of versatility and reliability.

VECTORBOX 6000 has set a new standard in quality for those channels who would normally opt for a premium video server, automation and graphics system but who are looking for a more cost-effective all-in-one solution. Besides automating continuity playout, VECTORBOX generates all kinds of live graphics to allow full channel branding. The integral use of XML for all the metadata guarantees compatibility with any data base or file system.

The ability to put two channels to air simultaneously from one 4RU chassis has made this model a favourite with satellite and cable channel head-ends and channels who need to insert local publicity and programming into remote satellite feeds with full channel branding in a fully automated broadcast environment.

This system is also a favourite where more than one channel of ingest is required, or a combination of simultaneous ingest and signal pass through from two separate SDI sources.
