Live talk shows, awards specials, telephone call-ins, courtroom TV, breaking news, home shopping - part of the excitement of live TV is that you never know what's going to happen next. But that can be a big problem if "what happens next" is an obscenity, a libelous statement, or a courtroom utterance that should not be aired. Eventide gave ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and many other cable and broadcast organizations a new tool to protect themselves by creating the BD1000-series digital video delays to handle such eventualities.
Now the Eventide BD1020 does it all in a far smaller, more versatile and more economical package, and for the first time, in PAL and SECAM as well as NTSC formats. The BD1020 is available in a variety of memory configurations, for delay times ranging from 1.1 to twenty seconds. Additional memory for units shipped with less than the maximum 20 seconds of delay can be added in the field.
