TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Sonoran Video Systems, an innovator in the visual technology industry, is introducing two broadcast-quality video playback solutions, the Coyote Q3G, and the Coyote S12G playback servers.
Coyote Playback Servers feature four 3G SDI outputs, configured as independent, spanned, sync roll, or UHD playback. The S12G model also has the ability to be configured for a single 12G SDI output. Each Coyote also has a dedicated HDMI multi-view output for local operator monitor.
The Coyote Playback Servers are uniquely positioned between playback software and media servers. Playback software lacks professional hardware support, and struggles to meet the high demands of todays live show environments with multiple-screen sync rolls, for example. Media servers on the other end of the spectrum, can cost over five times as much as a Coyote system, and require specialized operators.
Coyote Playback Servers are controlled using a free client software, called Coyote Control, an intuitive and easy-to-use software application for Windows or Mac. With a simple learning curve, the Coyote does not require specialized operators, which should be a consideration for ROI-based decisions. Drag-and-drop functionality with preset based software allows for easy set up and reliable playback. Set up and play assets in minutes not hours. Select from pre-made preset layouts, and the math is done automatically.
“We’re focused on making the Coyote reliable, intuitive, and affordable, and filling the need for a solution in between playback software and media servers. When an operator sits down to operate Coyote Control, they will be able to easily build a pre-set for sync rolls and spanning and be up and running in a matter of minutes. We’ve created the Coyote for asset playback unlike any other in the industry,” says Dave McBride, owner of Sonoran Video Systems.
The Coyote can also be controlled externally using UDP/TCP commands, with any popular third-party controller. The Coyote is compatible with Christie Spyder, Barco E2, and any professional switcher with SDI inputs.
Built as an all-in-one playback solution the Coyote is affordably priced at $11,999 for the Coyote Q3G, and $13,499 for the Coyote S12G model. The Coyote rivals the quality of playback systems costing five times more.
