Jackshoot, one of Europe’s leading online broadcast service-providers, has taken
delivery of the first Custom Consoles EditOne desk. Installed at Jackshoot’s UK
headquarters, the EditOne is being used as a live control station for switching, editing
and monitoring live programme content immediately prior to live internet-based
transmission.
“The EditOne desk is brilliant,” comments Jackshoot’s director and co-founder Simon
Haywood. “It is highly robust, the ergonomics are excellent and the styling blends in
well with a modern broadcast operations environment. Our EditOne desk is configured
for simultaneous use by two operators. It accommodates an SDI patching matrix,
monitor displays, live broadcast encoders, an Apple post-production system running
Final Cut Pro with live editing facilities, hard disk drives and main-plus-redundant
power supplies. The equipment is installed in the rear-access bay below the main
work surface and in the auxiliary pedestal.”
Developed for use in video editing suites and broadcast graphics areas the Custom
Consoles EditOne desk goes beyond the traditional rectangular configuration by using
sculpted MDF support panels rather than metal legs. The curved theme is carried
through to the desktop and a raised monitor shelf.
Front and rear corners of the EditOne desk and optional pedestal are curved,
eliminating any possibility of collision with sharp protrusions and contributing to the
ultra-modern styling. The worktop and monitor base also have hard-wearing and
operator-friendly curved edges at front, sides and rear. Finish is in oak with
contrasting black powder-coated MDF.
The EditOne desk incorporates three equipment pods with a collective nine units of
rack space. These form the base of a monitor shelf. Full cable management is
provided. Power distribution is optional. An auxiliary equipment pedestal with an
additional eleven units of rack space and an integral worktop is also in production.
