HiTech Systems Q-Tracker
Q-Tracker is an intuitive interface to a server, DDR or VTR for fast and easy storage, management and recall of cue points. Based on touch screen technology, for the first time, the compilation of a list of events for subsequent review or replay can be carried out by non-technical personnel, such as a sports presenter or commentator.

Live video feeds are displayed on the Q-Tracker screen together with a user- configurable graphical display of, say, a racetrack layout or a football pitch. This display can have a number of “Hot spots” - camera positions – again configurable by the user. The usual Hi Tech familiar machine controls are used for operation such as cue, play, pause, re-cue and so on.
The display shows a list of over 1,000 stored cue points, shown as thumb nails, with relevant data such as source ID (such as camera position name), timecode, cue number and so on. A preview screen is provided for cue management. As in all Hi Tech controllers, sources can be ganged together to allow multi-cue point capture for one event – enabling replay of the same event from a number of different camera angles.
Q-Tracker is a system based around a touch screen and a rack mountable main frame. The video sources are connected to the main frame and to the recorders - Q-tracker accepts analogue monitoring quality signals, or SDI with an optional input adaptor. The recorders are connected via RS422 to the main frame for record and replay control.
