Mount Marion, NY ­-(2001-01-05 )-- Laird Telemedia is launching an all new edit router designed to simplify the lives of all professional AVID, Media 100 and G4 based non-linear editors. The Laird LTM-ER4 Edit Router automates the upload and download of audio, video and RS422 control feeds into any NLE with the push of a single button.

"When I have a lot of different sources going into one non-linear edit system, I find Laird edit routers extremely useful," said James Peebles, Senior Production Engineer at Oxygen Media.

The LTM-ER4 ends the need for multiple patch bays, confusing cable clutter and "what goes where" questions. "Patch bays are a thing of the past and we avoid them like the plague," Peebles added.

The Laird LTM-ER4 Edit Router is a true multi-format device. It can route component, composite, Y/C and balanced audio with full machine control. The direction control on the LTM-ER4 allows the editor to use four decks for both sourcing and recording as a 1 x 4 router to upload or a 4 x 1 router to download. "I like the Laird router because it keeps things simple for my editors," said Peebles.

Three optional add-ons are available to further expand the functionality of the LTM-ER4. A direct dubbing module, digital signal expander (FireWire, SDI, SPDIF), and NLE coupler allow multiple NLEs to share the same source and record decks.

Laird edit routers are made in the USA, CE approved, NTSC and PAL compatible and contained in a 2RU cabinet. Laird provides a three-year warranty and industry leading customer support. Visit www.lairdtelemedia.com
