As directed by a newsroom computer system
(NRCS), Columbus automatically drives on-air events
via the Kahuna switcher and gives Columbus users immediate
and instant access to the full complement of Kahuna
functionality. Kahuna is the world's first production
switcher to offer simultaneous SD and HD operations,
enabling seamless integration of any SD sources, such
as handheld camera feeds, graphics, or archives, into
HD news productions without requiring outboard upconversion.
With
predefined macros from the Columbus rundown list,
users can access the Kahuna to recall content snapshots
instantly, choose new sources, and enable both video
and audio transitions from one source to another.
In addition, operators can access the rich array of
3-D digital video effects (DVE) available through
Kahuna IMPAKT. As required, the operator can
override the automation system to perform live, directed
switching via Kahuna.
NRK
(the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), a longtime
OmniBus Columbus customer, has implemented Kahuna
switchers in three of its newly equipped studios in
Oslo. As NRK makes its transition to HD programming,
the Kahuna switchers and OmniBus automation system
will help future-proof operations by providing the
technology infrastructure for end-to-end control of
all HD and SD media assets.
