Full range of Pixel Power family on view at NAB

Pixel Power will introduce new products and integration tools at this year's NAB 2002.
On show at the Pixel Power booth L19577 will be the Clarity2 SD, new hardware platform character generator with stills, clips and graphics. This product features dual AMD Athlon MP1900+ processors and multiple pixel processors for rapid delivery of on-air graphics. With its easy-to-use Windows interface and proprietary video hardware Clarity2 is ideally suited to live news, sports and production environments, delivering two channels of live pushback and full frame animated graphics. Clarity2 also supports dual channel uncompressed clip playback with key, storing 60 minutes internally and four channels of audio clip playback per video channel.
Delegates will also get the chance to see the Collette NLE and Film Resolution solution. This cost-effective character generator software plug-in – optimised for the Avid range of non-linear editors – offers high-quality animations, rolls and crawls with real-time previews, imports and exports, and seamless integration with the Avid timeline.
The Collage2 and Graphite2 Version C software are two major software releases adding real-time pushbacks, continuous tickers and enhanced control of multiple animations within a page.
The integration tools on view will include PixelBrowse Image Browser, which is a new web-based image browser allowing desktop viewing of still images across a network of Clarity, Collage and Graphite machines. The RapidRecall keypad is a dedicated keypad with four-line display for master control and live applications.
PixelCOM is an easy-to-use COM object interface for RS232 or DCOM control of Pixel Power devices, which is designed to simplify links to external databases, documents and spreadsheets.
The PixelPromo Custom software will automate templates-based promo creation by analysing traffic schedules with automatic playout under Harris automation system control.
