Masterpiece Functionality
Masterpiece combined with Grass Valley’s FormatFusion3 technology is unique in the master
control environment, giving you more capacity to feed multi-format material into your
channels. This means you don’t have to create multiple versions of the Grass Valley material to
feed different channel outputs, and there is no need for external conversion equipment.
Seamless interfacing with Grass Valley’s automation system Morpheus allows Masterpiece to
deliver robust and resilient content distribution and flexible device management, making it the
most efficient automation tool for your channel management.
Morpheus automation enables play-out schedules to run smoothly keeping your channel
content working effortlessly. The Masterpiece control panel can also be operated manually,
allowing for on-the-fly operations when needed.
Switching audio, breaking away audio from video, and triggering effects such as squeeze backs
and loading clips on-the-fly are just some of the operations the Masterpiece 12G-SDI and
Morpheus can achieve together for automated master control.
Audio Mixing
Masterpiece includes an 86 x 40 out audio mixer and can execute the following:
• Audio lead and log background transition
• Break away audio transitions
• Voice-overs and voice-unders
The benefit of pre-fading the audio before it goes live gives the operator confidence knowing
that a channel’s audio material and feeds are played out as scheduled. The audio mixer
provides embedding and de-embedding audio processing. Any 16 embedded channels can be
selected from any/all the incoming video sources. This is ideal for breaking out embedded
audio to AES for processing then re-ingesting the resulting feeds back into the SDI domain.
Audio channels can be shuffled for flexible alignment with in-house channel mapping.
System Integration
As a fully loaded master control system, Masterpiece offers a full solution to HD/1080p and
UHD Master Control without needing any (optional) extras. Of course you can pair Masterpiece
with Grass Valley’s UHD-ready product range including routing, play-out, control and
monitoring, servers and automation to ensure a seamless work-flow for your UHD productions.
By combining Grass Valley systems, you get comprehensive master control facilities that satisfy
even the most mission-critical live UHD production environments.
