ON THE AIR & ON THE ROAD!
ToastMaster integrates the cost-effective
power and performance of NewTek's VT[4]™
switcher, character generator, audio mixer and
DDR ... along with a real-time MPEG-2 encoder
that captures your live meetings and other
events directly to disk. You can even
stream your live meetings to your Web site
from the ToastMaster workstation!
It
also imports your meeting agendas from
Word documents, creating lower-third CG pages
for agenda items ... as well as names and titles
of participants.
|
 |
 |
Best
of all, it's the perfect single solution for
both the meeting room AND "on the road".
Configured in our "Pop-Up" wheeled monitor case,
you can take ToastMaster on location - using
multiple cameras to capture meetings, plays,
assemblies, and even sporting events ... all
with a single operator!
Leave your meeting room cameras permanently
attached, and purchase one of our Porta-Cam kits
that are lightweight and easy to set up.
Tripods, cables and cameras
are included! |

CUSTOM CAMERA CONTROL
The
desktop integration of computer-controlled
PTZ
(Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras
makes shot selection a
simple task for a single operator.
Joystick
control for selecting and moving cameras is
like playing a video game ...
but you're a Winner every time! |
 |
|
Button Naming: Save up to 9 presets for each camera (up to 8
cameras), giving each preset button a name that's
appropriately descriptive.
The selection
controls for each camera are positioned directly
beneath the LCD monitor for each camera.
Cameras, presets, switcher, and keyer selections
(both Take and Auto) are mapped to the keypad for
'touch-take' simplicity.
Enhance: Click the Enhance
button to reveal Zoom controls, Auto or Manual focus
controls, and a virtual joystick for manipulating
the remote-controlled camera positions.
Adjust: Click this button to
reveal all the camera control adjustment parameters.
You can set specific parameters for each preset on
each of the cameras for optimum performance in a
variety of conditions. You can also display
the Time and Date in the picture if you wish. |

REAL-TIME
MPEG-2 CAPTURE with STREAMING |
|
ToastMaster
includes a real-time MPEG-2 encoder,
capturing the meeting or event into a
digital file that's ready for playback
immediately. The easy-to-use
interface even lets you specify a
default file name ... with automatic
date suffixing and start/stop
segment naming. You can
simultaneously STREAM the output to your
Web site - while capturing a
Web-resolution file for scheduled Web
playback. Video and audio levels
are visible in a VGA window. |
