Vision Audiovisuel Multimedia Uses Ross Technology To Commemorate Quebec's 400th Year

Vision Audiovisuel Multimedia celebrated Quebec's 400th Anniversary to broadcast a series of festivities live using a Ross Vision 2 QMD Multi-Definition Production Switcher.
Purchased through their distributor, Sono Video, Vision Audiovisuel's main objectives in finding a switcher were to be SD and HD capable, have many interface abilities to minimise conversion, process computer presentations and the ability for multiple screen feeds.
Daniel Simard, Technical Director, said: "Ross' Vision switcher allowed us to successfully cover a variety of festivities that Quebec is hosting. We used Vision for the Chorales productions featuring popular Quebec singers Paul Piché and Jean-Pierre Ferland to name a few. An on July 20, we had the opportunity to work with the team of Sir Paul McCartney to cover his historic two and a half hour concert during which Ross' Vision production switcher was the central piece of equipment."
David Ross, CEO, said: "To have our Vision switcher chosen and used for such an important Canadian Anniversary is a great pleasure. Our DVE (Squeeze & Tease) and other switcher special effects offered fit Vision Audiovisuel's needs perfectly and we are looking forward to working with them for any future broadcast needs."
Vision QMD/X provides 4 keys per ME and up to 4 MEs, available in both a small and large chassis. The small chassis, QMD, is a compact 3RU, offering four full 4-keyer MEs and 48 Multi-Definition inputs. The large chassis, QMD-X, offers full 4-keyer MEs, 6 keys downstream and 96 multi-definition inputs.
