AB Mixer
The AB Mixer integral AB video switcher is designed to be fed by an
external router under automation control. The switcher provides cuts, wipes
and fade transitions with variable fade rates.
Embedded Digital Audio Mixer
The optional Easysound digital audio mixer can be fitted within Imagestore
and is designed to add voice-overs, jingles and other audio inserts over a
programme soundtrack at transmission. Easysound can accept audio from
AES/EBU sources, as well as embedded audio from the Imagestore's
background video input. The four mixes are available on AES/EBU outputs
and can also be re-embedded into the SDI programme output.
Digital Audio Storage
Easyplay is the digital audio storage and playout option for Imagestore. With
Easyplay, broadcasters can associate sounds to image files, creating a whole
new range of possibilities for musical logos and sound enhanced captions.
Easyplay requires the Easysound option to be fitted to Imagestore and the
system may be networked with the Media Distribution System.
Timing, Control and Automation
Imagestore is designed to be easy to install. One line FIFO's are provided on
each 270Mb/s SDI input for simplified system timing. An external system
reference may be used to provide high stability system timing and system
integrity.
Other valuable set-up and control features include a menu-driven front panel
VFD display, a General Purpose Interface (GPI) macro editor and a facility to
load configuration settings from, and save system configurations to, a floppy
disk.
Imagestore is highly suited to automated broadcast environments and remote
control options include RS422/RS232, as well as GPI and analogue fader
inputs.
