are loaded, previewed, positioned and keyed in the same way as animations
and static logos.
Bugclock images behave like all other images with respect to positioning,
transparency and masking controls. Previewing behaviour is the same as with
other clips and images and will show the clock running where appropriate
All existing GPI and automation commands, that apply to still images and
animations, function identically for clocks.
Bugclocks like other images use a single keying layer. This means that a
clock can be previewed while a different clock is shown on programme.
Embedded Digital Audio Mixer
The optional Easysound digital audio mixer (ES-HD-8) can be fitted within
Imagestore HDTV and is designed to add voice-overs, jingles and other audio
inserts over a programme soundtrack at transmission. Easysound can also
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 (EP-HD-001) is the digital audio storage and playout option for
Imagestore HDTV. 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 HDTV and the system may be networked with the Media
Distribution System.
