Scoring

• ION provides motion control and direct synchronization of serial, parallel and biphase devices without any third party equipment required

• Complete integration with popular consoles such as SSL 9000J allows console access to ION controlled devices

• ION virtual machine lets console act as the "Master" while simultaneously allowing ION keyboard control

• Console uses only one 9 pin serial port and issues simple motion, track arming and record control as if it were controlling a standard Sony type transport. No console synchronization is required

• Console receives status and serial time code back from ION's Master and Record machines within a single, merged stream as if from a standard 9 pin transport

• Control of up to sixteen (16) devices on a point to point basis

• Record (bias) control over serial and parallel devices

• Multiple GPIs available for tripping external devices such as DATs, samplers, wipes, red lights

• ION routing allows motion control to be directed to the "Master" while record commands go to the designated record machine(s)

• Optionally, external jog/shuttle commands can be routed to ION controlled devices and track arming to an extremely powerful ION internal matrix; a single track arm from the console could easily be routed to multiple recorders, for example

• Direct serial control over Pro Tools, DA-88, DA-98, DA-98HR, RADAR, MMR-8, V1, HDCAM, D5, Digital Betacam, 3/4" to name just a few

• ION's proprietary Parallel interface provides smooth GOTO's and fast locking of parallel machines such as 3324/3348, Studer A820/A827, MTR-90, ATR-100, for example

• Robust, crash resistant and extremely quick booting

• Proven reliable in the world's most prestigious facilities

• Exclusive "ATOM CALL HOME" real time online support by standard modem provides an umbilical cord to the designers

• Internal time code generator, referenced to house video sync, acts as a virtual device that can be offset while outputting perfect code to chase-only devices

• NTSC or PAL operation, or combinations of the two

• Patented SMART SYNC supports mixed code varispeed synchronization

• Multiple system setups can be stored to disk and recalled with a single keystroke

• Exclusive feature allows direct control over video as system "Master" in wind mode while it automatically reverts to a "slave" to a perfect machine in play

• Time code and film footage operation with programmable time code/feet frame relationship

• Auto punch in and out

• EDL import/storage/export

• Winner of a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award and Prime Time Emmy Plaque for Outstanding Engineering
