Pixel Power Unveils Clarity 5000 HD/SD Multi-Format Character Generator (20/9/2005)

Pixel Power is to deliver its new SD/HD hybrid, multi-format, multi-channel character generator, Clarity 5000, for broadcast and post-production at IBC.Ê The revolutionary graphics system creates professional graphics for up to two output channels in traditional 4:3 and 16:9, plus all forthcoming screen formats with embedded still-store, video clips, 2D DVE, real-time 3D and audio capability.

Each Clarity 5000 channel provides a dedicated preview output with key in addition to programme output.Ê These auxiliary outputs can even function as additional programme channels with text and still capability.

Clarity 5000's latest Clarity Version 7 software includes clip capability, DVE, timeline animation and 3D options.Ê Providing flexible interfaces to new and legacy master control and newsroom automation systems, Version 7 software is available in TG, CG and GX variants.

Available in single and dual channel configurations, Clarity 5000 supports SD (525/625) in any aspect ratio, plus all common HD formats including 1080i60, 1080i50, 720p60, 1080sf48, 1080p24 and 1080p25.Ê Single-channel systems are HD/SD switchable, while dual-channel systems can host separate or simultaneous HD and SD.

"Pixel Power's format-agile Clarity 5000 character generator is a powerful, rugged solution that meets all graphics challenges without separate hardware," says Pixel Power's MD James Gilbert.Ê "It is a long-term future-proof investment that is screen-format-agnostic, to facilitate re-purposing content and save costs without the need to upgrade."
