SL NEO Instant Replay & Slow Motion

Super Slow Motion (SSM) support
Multi-Channel & Multi-Camera Operation
Edit While Recording
Integrated Multiviewer
Capture the moment. Replay with precision.

Overview

SL NEO Instant Replay & Slow Motion is a professional live replay solution designed for broadcast studios, sports production, and live event workflows. It enables instant access to live and recorded content, allowing operators to perform smooth slow-motion playback, instant replays, and clip-based review with frame-accurate control.
Fully integrated into the SL NEO Media Platform, the module combines recording, replay, and slow-motion control in a single workflow — without
interrupting ongoing capture or live production.

Highlights

Instant Replay

Access and replay live content immediately after capture, without stopping or restarting recording.
Smooth Slow Motion Control
Frame-accurate slow-motion playback with variable speed control using T-bar or software UI.
Edit While Recording
Replay and review growing files while recording continues — supported both by SL NEO modules and third-party tools compatible with growing MXF formats.
Multi-Channel, Multi-Camera & Multi-LSM Operators
Supports simultaneous recording and replay of multiple live sources on a single server. Multiple LSM operators can work in parallel using multiple controllers, all accessing the same set of inputs and recorders.
Studio-Optimized LSM Workflow
Integrates with the SL NEO LSM-style module, offering a rec-list interface, computer-based UI, and simple slow-motion control — ideal for studios needing replay without full OB LSM systems.
Newscut NLE Integration
Highlights created using LSM playlists can be loaded directly into the Newscut NLE for further editing and production.
Super Slow Motion (SSM)
SSM is fully supported as a key capability of the LSM system. It enables input from triple- or quad-link SDI super slow-motion cameras, where multiple phase-shifted signals are captured at 1/3 or 1/4 frame offsets. When combined, these signals deliver effective capture rates of up to 150 fps (300 fields/s) for PAL and 180 fps (360 fields/s) for NTSC, producing exceptionally smooth and detailed slow-motion replay.
Broadcast-Grade Reliability
Designed for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding live production environments.
