Echolab is announcing the availability of dual-panel operation for the its Overture2 standard definition (SD) and multidefinition (MD) video production systems. Dual-panel operation allows production facilities to install just one switcher system in support of two studios and control rooms. The second control panel may be used as many as 100 meters from the switcher chassis. In live entertainment production, the dual-panel operation simplifies simultaneous switching of on-stage video and a broadcast feed. Rather than work around each other at a single control interface, two operators can switch more comfortably and effectively from their own panels. Available now. www.echolab.com
