Playback Pro Plus
Transforming a high-end Mac into a non-linear file-based video cueing system, Playback Pro Plus is designed for live production playback. Showgun Studio uses Playback Pro Plus systems configured with a G-RAID array for HD speed, M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB audio interface, and Matrox MXO for output conversion to HD-SDI.

Superior Playback Solution
This Mac based playback system takes full advantage of advances in computer graphics capabilities. Using one output as the operator interface, it sends clean HD video to the secondary video output, utilizing the video card GPU for hardware acceleration with complete control over size, aspect ratio, and levels. Since it provides much greater flexibility in both the field and studio, it is intended to replace hardware digital disk recorders, DVD players, and video tape machines.
Playback Pro Plus uses a simple yet powerful interface that allows flexibility and control of video content in non-linear playback. It is completely non-destructive to original video files, allowing the same file to be referenced multiple times with separate in and out points, geometry, and levels.
Playback Pro Plus is a multi-channel (plus mixer) player allowing cuts and dissolves between clips and many other advanced features. Playback Pro Plus works with SimpleSync, allowing easy synced playback on multiple machines.
