Pixel Power To Feature At CABSAT

Pixel Power has announced it will showcase a new generation of automated production products at CABSAT 2016, 08 – 10 March, Dubai.

Pixel Factory draws on the Clarity 3D graphics engine. Its automation layer allows it to generate large numbers of sophisticated clips, such as promos, trailers and marketing content. It uses templates, information entered by the commissioning producer, and direct access to the asset management system. Pixel Factory automatically generates all versions of a clip – "coming soon", "tomorrow", "later" and "next", for example, as well as multiple resolutions for broadcast and online services to remove a lot of unproductive manual work.

StreamMaster is the newest solution from Pixel Power aimed at assisting the move to an IP workflow. It also builds on the Clarity 3D graphics engine to create an integrated playout platform. The modular software platform can run on dedicated hardware, virtualised in a data centre or in the cloud, and as it is a software-defined system, it is format agnostic and capable of continuous scaling and flexibility, thereby can support even complex channels.

"Our Clarity platform has been an unrivalled leader in broadcast graphics, for its creative freedom as well as for its technical quality," said James Gilbert, CEO, Pixel Power. "What we have long recognised is that real-world broadcasters need to balance creative freedom with operational efficiencies, automating repetitive tasks and freeing the creative experts for tasks that really need their skills.

"The Middle East and North Africa market has always been very important to us," he continued. "We have sales and support resources based in the region, and we appreciate the way that broadcasters here are open to new ideas, exploring ways of creating a more effective, more engaging and more efficient operation.

"At this year's CABSAT we are showcasing our latest, proven products, and taking technology that has proved popular, implementing it in software, and placing it at the heart of a software-defined, IP future. Our format-agnostic, future-proof automation and graphics software modules could represent the last decisions you ever need make in graphics and automation."
