Pixel Power Partners With UTV Ireland

Pixel Power is partnering with UTV Ireland to supply technology to its newsroom.

Journalists can create static and dynamic graphics sequences using Pixel Power LogoVision Clips, linked to the Avid production and scripting system.

UTV is the leading independent television station in Northern Ireland, where it is an extensive user of Pixel Power graphics products. Launched on 1st January 2015 UTV Ireland serves viewers in the Republic of Ireland. The channel is transmitted from Belfast, using Pixel Power BrandMaster graphics and control, with news broadcast live from a new-state-of-the-art newsroom in Dublin.

LogoVision is the highly cost-effective platform for graphics in a high pressure, automated environment. Using pre-built templates, the device populates news graphics, weather reports and more with information entered automatically or transferred from other systems. Alongside the flexible integration capabilities, it provides excellent quality thanks to its 10-bit HD downstream keyer, and high reliability through redundant power supplies and automated bypass.

At UTV Ireland the Pixel Power LogoVision is linked to an Avid iNews preparation and playout system. An ActiveX plug-in for each workstation allows journalists to prepare graphics and link them directly to the story as well as use the WYSIWYG preview to check spelling, formatting and layout of template elements. For rundowns and playout the newsroom uses Avid iNews and Command, which automates programme production.
