Video Review of the Cerevo LiveWedge HDMI live switcher and iPad app
By Jim Bask
I’ve found that the simplest most effective way to use this device is as a basic multicam HDMI switcher. We use Livestream and a Livestream broadcaster box to live stream to the web. I’m able to input maximum four cameras and then use the Preview Out HDMI to run to a monitor to watch the feeds and the Output HDMI to send audio and video to the Livestream Broadcaster. This works fantastic. 95 percent of the time I don’t bother with the iPad app, as it’s just easier with the buttons and functionality of the box itself. As a switcher, this this is great.




ONDA is a scheduling and automation playout suite. Playout automation and the scheduler share the same database, assuring access to data and simultaneous edit of the playlist when scheduling changes.

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, we are definitely in an interesting time! I’ve written this review on the heels of probably the second biggest announcement in our industry in recent memory, and the funny thing is that the same company was behind both big news announcements. Boris FX’s purchase of Imagineer Systems was a groundbreaking purchase as, at the time, it gave editors the hope of having Mocha tracking capabilities in their NLE timelines and, needless to say, Boris FX and Imagineer Systems delivered. Big time.
