Miranda Highlights Multiple New HD Products At IBC2008

Miranda Technologies will be highlighting multiple new HD products at IBC, including a single card Densite Series 3G/HD/SD video and audio processor, new expansion options for the Kaleido-X multi-viewer, and new audio and graphics capabilities for the Imagestore 750 master control and branding processor.
The new Densite Series XVP-3901 offers advanced 3G/HD/SD video and audio processing on a single card, and is ideal for incoming/outgoing feed applications.
The module accepts 3G/HD/SD signals via BNC or fibre, and provides simultaneous 3G/HD and SD outputs. Signals can be up/down/cross converted and frame synchronized. Black side panels introduced during up/down conversion can be filled using an integral background keyer.
The XVP-3901 provides 16 channels of embedded audio processing, with four AES inputs and outputs. Advanced audio functions include compressor/limiter/expander capabilities, and 5.1 to stereo downmixing. The XVP-3901 is designed for the new Densite Series 3RU frame, which can combine both 2RU and 3RU cards.
The Kaleido-X high quality, multi-image display system can now be integrated with Pro-bel’s Sirius routers to create highly robust, combined multi-image and routing systems, with control of up to 512 HD/SD video inputs and up to 64 multi-image display outputs.
This tight integration offers a flexible expansion path for the Kaleido-X multi-viewer, without compromising its unmatched image quality and superior layout flexibility.
The system also offers intuitive On-screen Mouse router control, and dynamic source text tracking.
The new Intuition XG co-processor extends the graphics capabilities of the Imagestore 750 HD/SD master control and channel branding system. Intuition XG is ideal for complex, data-driven graphics, including in-show and interstitial promos.
The co-processor offers multi-level character generation, animation and clip playout, and can be readily controlled by Miranda’s Xmedia Suite graphics and voice-over automation. Xmedia Suite streamlines graphics media management, template creation, data-interfacing, and complex sequence control.
New advanced audio capabilities for the Imagestore 750 master control and branding processor include full support of Dolby E decoding/encoding, Dolby Digital encoding, and high performance, stereo to 5.1 Upmixing using Linear Acoustic technology.
Miranda will be at Stand B80 at IBC2008. Further information is available at: www.miranda.com.
