Multi-Format, Multi-Channel Hybrid Graphics System

Format agile character generation with embedded still store, video clips, 2D DVE, real-time 3D and audio capability.

Clarity 5000 redefines the state of the art in high performance real-time graphics capability for both post-production and broadcast applications.

Clarity 5000 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, Clarity 5000 takes HD graphics to the next level, with power beyond that of current state of the art SD graphics systems.

Unparalleled Power and Flexibility
Uncompromised HD and SD capability
Clarity 5000 is available in single and dual channel configurations. Each channel supports SD (525/625) in any aspect ratio, as well as any of the common high definition formats including; 1080i60, 1080i50, 720p60, 1080sf48, 1080p24, 1080p25, etc. A single channel system is HD/SD switchable while dual channel systems may be dual channel HD, dual channel SD, or simultaneous HD and SD.

Hardware Configuration
Multi-standard, multi-channel, multi-layer
Built to meet the demands of broadcasters around the world, each Clarity 5000 channel provides a dedicated preview output with key in addition to its program output. While normally used for preview these auxiliary outputs may be optionally configured as additional program channels with basic text and still capability.

Further enhancing its flexibility, each channel has user definable input configuration. In HD mode each channel has two inputs that may be used as video+key or video1+video2. In SD mode each channel provides a total of four inputs, configurable as two video+key pairs or four discrete inputs. Each input features 2D DVE capability and automatic relay bypass making Clarity 5000 especially well suited to master control, channel branding and live-to-air promotions.

Software Defined Features
Capability without compromise
Clarity 5000 runs the latest Clarity Version 7 software, which includes clip capability, DVE, timeline animation and 3D options. Like its SD predecessors Clarity 5000 provides a range of flexible interfaces to both new and legacy master control and newsroom automation systems.

Version 7 software is available in 3 variants, TG, CG and GX, just like the established Clarity 100, 200, 300 and 500 range.
