Hardware Features

Built-In Display

A built-in display allows for a compact, portable rig on-site with the ability to add one or two additional LCD displays via DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort for Multiviewer and other application access.

I/O Cards

Acme Video Solutions GO Plus is equipped with eight HD-SDI inputs (up to two of which can be used as outputs instead) via an AJA capture card, allowing up to eight live sources. You can also group four inputs together to provide two 4K inputs. When using the card in 4K mode, standard 1080/720 resolutions are unavailable. With up to two SDI outputs, producers can send multiple high-resolution feeds. For example, a dirty version complete with overlays for broadcast, and a clean version for recording and reuse later. Alternatively, one output can be dedicated to connect a broadcast-grade preview monitor to supplement the GO s built-in screen.

Removable SSD Slots for ISO Recording

No heavy platter-based drives here the GO Plus gives you four removable SSD storage slots enabling ISO recording of all inputs when fully populated ”SSD drives are available separately. When you are finished, simply unplug the drives and easily move your footage to another machine for post-production or archiving.

Media Storage

For storing prerecorded video clips, audio, graphics elements, and more, the GO Plus features two 1TB SSDs. These can also be used for ISO recording from the SDI inputs.

Also included is a 512GB failover SSD. This is for emergency use during a live production should the primary drive or Windows installation fail. To use this drive, one of the SSD slots will need to be occupied.

Balanced XLR/TRS Audio I/O

A pair of balanced XLR/TRS combo jack inputs allow the switcher to bring in additional audio from professional sources, on top of up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio. These inputs are accompanied by two XLR outputs for local monitoring. There is also an unbalanced 3.5mm audio input, and you can add external USB audio interfaces to increase the total number and type of available inputs.

Wi-Fi Connectivity

In addition to the Ethernet port also found on the 4/4 and 4/4K models, the Plus features a USB Wi-Fi adapter for added flexibility.
