This all-in-one approach simplifies live production workflows, making it perfect for newsrooms, corporate events, live sports, and broadcast studios.
8 SDI Inputs for Versatile Video Switching
With 8 SDI inputs, the M8 can handle multiple video sources, allowing seamless switching between cameras, video feeds, and media inputs. This makes it ideal for multi-camera productions or complex live events, where operators need the flexibility to manage several inputs at once.
Integrated Ross XPression Graphics System
The Ross XPression graphics system, built into the Graphite Base Engine, provides real-time 3D graphics, animations, and lower-thirds for live productions. XPression offers powerful graphics capabilities, including virtual sets and augmented reality (AR), making it perfect for sports broadcasts, news, and corporate presentations where high-quality visual elements are required.
Advanced Multi-Layer Production with 4 M/E Channels
The system offers 4 mix effects (M/E) channels, each with customizable keyers, enabling operators to create multi-layered video compositions for professional-looking broadcasts. This capability is essential for producing visually rich content, such as news programs, talk shows, and live events where multiple graphics, video sources, and effects need to be integrated.
Integrated Audio Mixer for Professional Sound
The M8 includes an 8-channel audio mixer, allowing operators to manage live audio alongside video. This feature ensures that sound quality matches the production’s video quality, making it ideal for concerts, conferences, and broadcasts where professional audio control is critical.
GPI Interface for External Control
The 12 GPI inputs/outputs allow the M8 to interface with external devices such as tally systems, lighting controllers, and broadcast automation systems, ensuring smooth integration with existing production infrastructure.
IP Streaming and Recording
The Graphite M8 supports IP streaming and recording, allowing live content to be delivered directly to streaming platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. This makes it an excellent choice for productions that require both traditional broadcasting and digital streaming simultaneously.
Internal Media Storage
The built-in media storage allows operators to store video clips, stills, and graphics directly on the system, making it easy to access and integrate pre-produced content into live broadcasts without requiring external media servers.
Customizable Control Surfaces
The system supports customizable control surfaces, allowing operators to tailor the interface to their workflow needs. This flexibility ensures that production teams can optimize the system for speed, efficiency, and ease of use, whether they are working in a studio or on location.
Compact and Portable Design
The 4RU rack-mount design of the Graphite M8 makes it ideal for use in mobile production units, OB trucks, or studios where space is limited. Its compact form factor allows for easy integration into existing production setups without sacrificing performance or functionality.
Ideal Use Cases
The Ross Video Graphite Base Engine M8 is perfect for broadcast studios, live event producers, corporate AV teams, newsrooms, and sports broadcasters who need an all-in-one production system that delivers powerful video switching, graphics, and audio control. Its versatility and compact design make it an essential tool for producing professional-quality live content in demanding production environments.
