“MPA1-MIX-NET’s design is informed by end-users in conjunction with global production experts NEP. One example is the “V”-shaped layout of the front panel controls which provide intuitive navigation that’s especially valuable fast paced environments like live production in an OB truck or PCR. The built-in ST 2022-7 network capability is another step forward. Additionally, NEP and TSL integration allows for remote configuration via our broadcast control system.”
