According to Harris, its IconMaster v 3.0 extends interoperable workflow services by enabling control of Harris Centrio multiviewers and Platinum routers over ethernet. By coupling IconMaster with Centrio, the master control operator can control the multiviewer directly from the master control switcher.

Harris also introduced IconMaster LITE, which offers all the features and functions of the full IconMaster system but is designed for customers that do not require internal branding. IconMaster LITE can be paired with a Harris IconStation channel branding system to enable better branding for a high-impact on-air look.

Tim Thorsteinson, president of Harris Broadcast Communications, said: The IconMaster system is ideal for both automated and manual master control, as well as multichannel environments. Features such as ethernet control, integration with multiviewers, enhanced routing control, and remote software panels provide a particularly strong solution for multiple channel launches.
