NEW LOGO GENERATOR FOR HD MIGRATION FROM PIXEL POWER

Stand 7.138, IBC2006, Amsterdam, 8 September 2006: IBC2006 sees the launch of LogoVision, a new switchable SD and HD logo generator from Pixel Power which incorporates the display technology of its popular Clarity graphics generator. Designed for automated operation, the compact unit inserts multiple clocks, multi-layer static and animated logos, text crawls and other graphics.

LogoVision can be set up from a front panel interface or via a web browser. In use it will be under the control of a station automation system, triggering the device by GPI as well as by serial or ethernet protocols.

LogoVision incorporates two video inputs with automatic bypass in the event of power failure (dual power supplies are available as an option). Content is stored in solid-state memory for security and minimum power requirements. Options include audio clip playback with group mixing, a 2D DVE, and interfaces for a temperature probe and the USA Emergency Alert System.

“Broadcasters should not be deterred from moving to HD transmission because of the high cost of infrastructure elements like online graphics and logo insertion,” says Pixel Power MD James Gilbert. “LogoVision is ready for HD with no upgrade required, but is priced similarly to SD-only logo generators from some of our competitors.”
