What exactly is the Studio Ensemble package?

Studio Ensemble is a consortium of several manufacturers jointly bundling key components of a studio system. The consortium includes switchers and integration software from Echolab, media image servers from 360 Systems, character generators from Compix Media, and monitoring systems from Avitech.

For a short promotional period, Studio Ensemble comes with powerful FREE Integration Software valued at $10,000 that integrates all these components into an elegant, powerful and affordable, broadcast quality, turnkey studio solution.

What is the FREE Integration Software?

When you purchase the individual components as you need you will receive a FREE Integration Software Certificate that can be redeemed when you purchase the Echolab switcher. The FREE Integration Software resides on Echolab’s ‘System on Chip’ firmware at the heart of the video switcher. Echolab’s Integration Software is a powerful pre-engineered protocol bundle, which allows the switcher to control all the parts of Studio Ensemble. The special promotional offer period in which to receive the FREE Integration Software is open for a limited time only until December 31st 2006.

How can I buy Studio Ensemble?

Studio Ensemble is not a package deal.

Studio Ensemble’s true value is in the combination of professional products that are all ‘best of breed’ at an entry level price. You will order separate components directly from each manufacturer enabling you to receive the very best price as well as expert sales advice to tailor the product to meet your exact requirements.

The FREE Integration Software Certificate is permanently valid with purchase of any Studio Ensemble component before Dec. 31st 2006. Once the promotional period is over, the integration software will need to be purchased separately with each component.

You can order any component of Studio Ensemble by contacting us via the online contact form (Click here).

Who is Studio Ensemble intended for?

Studio Ensemble is designed for entry-level users as well as existing production facilities who are looking for a small to medium sized broadcast or live production studio system. The pre-integrated system is specifically tailored for the small market and independent broadcasters, pro AV users, house of worship users, and education markets. Studio Ensemble helps customers that are price-driven but want the features, functionality, and quality of an broadcast system that is seamless to set up and easy to use.

Take, for example, a house of worship. Sometimes, they don’t have the budget to purchase equipment of broadcast quality and fall into the trap of buying a low-grade switcher to start with, trying to balance between quality and budget constraints. Eventually, low-end equipment, like consumer PC's, become technologically obsolete very quickly as new generation professional quality technology comes along at a much lesser consumer oriented price.

With Studio Ensemble customers’ benefit from the FREE Integration Software as well as the time and cost savings associated with putting together such as system.

How can Studio Ensemble help integrate existing analog and digital gear?

All Studio Ensemble partner products including the 360 Image Server , Compix Media CG and Avitech Multiviewer are analog / digital compatible. The Echolab OPERA 3408 is a DUAL FORMAT Switcher that accepts Digital and Analog sources. All you need to do is plug in your gear and you are ready to roll.

Why not deal with just one large single-branded supplier?

The true benefit in the Studio Ensemble package is that you can get what we believe are “best-of-breed” products from top manufacturers, and not be tied down to just one company. You can even integrate products from suppliers outside the consortium, but of course their products would not be controllable to the same degree as they are not a part of the FREE Integrated Software package.

So if you are price-driven and budget conscious but want the features and functionality of a professional,
integrated broadcast quality system that is simple to set up and easy to use - look no further.
