April 24, 2006, NAB, Las Vegas...

Pixel Power Ltd. (www.pixelpower.com), Cambridge, England, today announced significant uptake of its new Clarity 5000 HD/SD switchable graphics system, which started delivering in February 2006.

Early purchasers of the system include Prime in Australia, BBC / Red Bee Media in London, NBC Universal in Los Angeles, WWL in New Orleans, KVUE in Texas, Corus in Toronto, WDR in Germany and VRT in Belgium.

The Clarity5000 is Pixel Power’s entirely new hardware architecture to meet the next generation of graphics requirements encompassing standard and high definition formats. Building upon the knowledge of the existing Clarity range, Clarity5000 takes HD graphics to the next level, with graphics capabilities beyond that of current state of the art SD graphics systems. Clarity5000 runs the latest Clarity Version 7 software, which includes clip capability, perspective DVE, timeline animation and real-time 3D options.

The Clarity5000 is available in single and dual channel configurations. Each channel supports SD (525/625) in any aspect ratio, as well as any high definition format including 1080i60, 1080i50, 720p60, 1080sf48, 1080p24 and 1080p25. A single channel system is HD/SD switchable, whilst dual channel systems may be dual channel HD, dual channel SD or simultaneous HD and SD. Each channel provides a dedicated preview output with key. The preview output can also be repurposed as an auxiliary channel with basic text and stills capability.

An optional clip player provides tight integration of clip content in both HD and SD modes of operation. Using internal or external storage, the clip player provides 2 streams of HD clips or up to 4 streams of SD clips. Clarity5000 also offers real-time squeezeback of internal clip sources and live video inputs, with up to 4 live inputs in HD or 8 live inputs in SD.

James Gilbert, CEO of Pixel Power Inc., commented: “Clarity5000 goes beyond the capabilities of the best standard definition CGs, combining HD clips, DVEs, real-time 3D and text animation within a compact 5RU chassis. This rich feature set has been recognized and adopted by many of the world’s leading broadcasters and post facilities since we started shipping two months ago”
