Capture Any Content on Your Desktop
Utilize Toolbox’s Grabber module to create up to four capture scenes – be it a custom region-of-interest, application, or full desktop screen – and bring it into your production via SDI or NDI connectivity. With intuitive tools to quickly highlight, capture, and output content – Toolbox is the definitive software tool for getting content to air at the fastest speed.
On-Demand VLC Clip Server
Enjoy codec-agnostic video playout with Toolbox’s VLC Video Player module, which routes VLC video directly to output. VLC is a free and open-source cross-platform multimedia player that supports virtually all common formats of video and audio codecs. Select a variety of clip media on a local drive or USB, quickly queue it up as a playlist, and take it to air in your production via Toolbox’s VLC Video Player. Toolbox routes the video from VLC Player directly to SDI or NDI output, ensuring that the playback control interface is not visible to the end-viewer.
Craft Your Perfect Output
Toolbox offers an array of audio and video configuration settings, as well as graphic tools for overlays and backgrounds. Audio volume and delay settings help to offload demand on downstream audio engineers, while overlay and background tools offload the need to tie up switcher keyer resources for non-standard video resolutions. Whether it’s a high-quality 1920 x 1080 clip segment or a vertical phone video taken at the scene of a story, Toolbox ensures a professional output that matches your program format every time.
Professional Remote Guest Experience
Immerse onsite reporters and remote guests in the live on-air experience during online video conferencing calls. Toolbox can convert SDI and NDI inputs into webcam feeds for online meeting platforms – such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom - providing remote contributors with the true on-air experience by bringing video and audio from your anchor camera shot, wider studio set scene, or live program output.
