Pixel Power has added turnkey appliance StreamMaster PRIME to its range of graphics and playout products. The new product is designed primarily as a replacement for individual devices in a traditional architecture.
According to the company, the appliance is capable of supporting automated branding graphics, multi-layer static and animated logos, clocks, text crawls, tickers, DVE moves and more. Options include dual port video server, audio processing for multi-channel sound and master control functionality.
It is also capable of autonomous operation, with hardware or software UI control panels available.
“Many of the broadcasters we talk to have told us that they are not yet in a position to move to an all new, software-defined playout architecture, but that individual items in their legacy systems need replacing,” explained James Gilbert, CEO of Pixel Power. “StreamMaster PRIME gives them a single, cost-effective appliance, connecting over SDI, with all the usual automation interfaces, so it is a simple plug-in replacement for a life-expired master control switcher, video server or graphics inserter.”
