HT800c Cue controller - Functions you require where and when you want them. The versatile Cue Controller meets the rigorous demands of production companies, studios and post facilities - in the gallery, on OBs and in post-production. It delivers significant operational benefits and economies, reducing production times and increasing operator efficiency. The HT800c Cue Controller series has been optimised for the record and play-in requirements of multiple VTRs or DDRs (Digital Disk Recorders) in studio, MCR or outside broadcast operations. Scalable control:- access to 4 or 8 VTRs or DDRs, using high visibility vacuum fluorescent display for clear feedback of each device. Flexible control:- customise features and functions for specific applications for control of play, record, stop, fast forward, rewind, pre/post roll, jog, shuttle and variable replay, 5 customisable speed ranges for wheel. All settings and cues retained when power is turned off. Intuitive control:- the HT800c delivers a familiar control surface whatever the type of machine or recording format being used. Ergonomically designed, the functions you require where and when you want them. Fast Cueing and Playback:- Up to 250 cues can be stored. Quickly and easily mark, save, edit, view, enter and recall cues with just a few keystrokes. The numeric keypad allows entering and recalling cue locations or time code numbers. "Last Cue", "next cue" and "previous cue" keys for instant cue access.

HT800s Slow Motion controller - Versatile production control with instant slow motion replay. The HT800s series are versatile production controllers for the coverage and packaging of live broadcasting events, that require instant replay in slow motion. The HT800s series Slow Motion Controller has been optimised for controllable instant slow motion replay for DDRs (disk recorders) and VTRs. Scalable control:- control of 2 or 4 record/playback pairs DDRs disk mode, or 4 or 8 VTRs in VTR mode. Flexible control:- customise features and functions for specific applications. Customisable speed ranges for the jog/shuttle wheel and T-bar. All settings and cues retained when power is turned off. Intuitive control panel:- ergonomically designed control panel with jog/shuttle wheel and T-Bar for smooth slow motion replays which are fast, easy and reliable. Numeric keypad is available for recalling cues or time code points. Fast Cueing and Playback:- Up to 250 cues can be created on the fly to create a cue list. Quickly and easily mark, save and recall cues with just a few keystrokes. "Last", "next" and "previous" keys provide instant access replays. "Live" jog mode switches live action to playback – for instant action replay. The operator can gang any of the selected record and playback channels to provide multi angle cueing and slow motion replay possible. Highlights:- Replay your cues back to back to create a highlights "spot reel". Cues can be re-trimmed with new in and out points. Disk Recorders:- simultaneous record and playback for rapid access of just-recorded events. In disk mode each record channel (up to 4) is set to "endless recording" mode. At the same time each playback channel (up to 4) is available for playback from any position from the record channels. With one key press the operator can mark a cue point on the record channel and cue the playback channel for instant slow motion replay without stopping the recording.
