LAUNCHING AT IBC 2012:
Helm with Ross Video openGear integration – At IBC 2012 Rascular is launching the latest version of its flagship product Helm. In a major product advance, Helm is now integrated with Ross Video’s openGear protocol. Helm allows customers to pick best-of-breed technologies – branding devices, routers, video servers, VTRs, multi-image display processors and modular gear - from a range of different manufacturers and provides a single, integrated, user-defined PC-based control/monitoring surface for operators. By integrating with Ross Video’s openGear® platform standard – which is designed from the ground up as an open protocol – Helm now has the potential to control any and all technology that adheres to the openGear standard. In combination with the recent announcement that Helm is now also integrated with Snell’s RollCall protocol, the range of technology with which the platform integrates now spreads across the industry.
