 LogoVision™ is a family of branding and graphics playout devices designed for 24/7 operation in a transmission environment.
The internal 10-bit downstream keyer has software watchdog and power fail bypass to protect the on-air signal and redundant power supplies are standard on most models.
LogoVision is easily deployed for single or multi-channel environments and supports both standard and high definition video formats.
Recognizing the need to match budget and graphics requirements for a range of channels, LogoVision is available in three different versions.
 LogoVision™ systems fully support the emerging need for 3D stereoscopic graphics whilst maintaining a familiar workflow, and allow the re-use of pre-existing graphics templates, reducing the time and cost of launching a 3D channel.

LogoVision supports a wide range of branding requirements for both standard and high definition channels including multi-layer static and animated logos, clocks, text crawls, multiple tickers, DVE moves such as squeezeback, EAS and many other graphics elements.
Audio processing is available for multi-channel sound with group mix, shuffling, automated duck and internal clip capabilities. |
|
|
LogoVision Clips adds two HD video clip players. Each clip player plays video and key streams and has its own 2D DVE. The clip players can be used for animated backgrounds, snipes, bumpers or even promo playback, freeing up ports on upstream video servers.
Pixel Power’s dedicated clip subsystem and mild compression provide the highest quality of video playback.
Occupying only 3RU of space, LogoVision Clips includes 2 hours of HD clip storage, expandable internally up to 8 hours. |
|
|
Premium channels demand the ultimate in branding graphics. LogoVision 3D adds real-time 3D and multi-channel 3D DVE capabilities, still within a compact 3RU chassis.
Dynamic text and live video from internal and/or external sources can be mapped onto sophisticated 3D models with keyframe animation. |

Graphics WorkFlow and Production Tools |
LogoVision is a presentation device and has no built-in creation tools. Graphics are prepared using Pixel PREP software or Clarity hardware systems then transferred via network to the LogoVision playout device.
Pixel PREP
Pixel PREP Clips
Pixel PREP 3D
The choice between Pixel Prep software or Clarity hardware systems depends on budget. An appropriately configured Clarity system has the benefit of providing a real-time preview, including video clips, real-time 3D and live video sources.
Graphics content on LogoVision is managed remotely using the Pixel Power Management Console (PPMC) or Pixel Promo. |
|
Automation Integration
|
LogoVision offers plug and play compatibility with all leading automation systems. Remote template filling and graphics recall are implemented using the established Pixel Power XML protocol over TCP/IP Ethernet or legacy serial Intelligent Interface protocol. For simpler applications GPIs can be used.
LogoVision is fully supported by Pixel Promo, Pixel Power’s proven automated promo system which delivers substantial cost savings in scheduling and delivering interstitials. |
|
Configuration and Control
|
LogoVision operates autonomously with no direct user interface. Configuration, management and operational control is provided via the front panel, the Pixel Power Management Console (PPMC) and serial and TCP/IP automation protocols.
The PPMC software facilitates:
- Connection to one or more local or remote LogoVision systems via LAN or WAN.
- Custom layouts showing templates, preview and air status, operational controls.
- Uploading of packaged graphics content to a LogoVision device.
- Manual playout control of graphics layers including adding/removing layers, triggering of custom animations and editing of template fields (text, static and animated logos and clips).
- Configuration of LogoVision system hardware and software settings.
