Lagardère uses Pixel Power automation control for rebranding

Lagardère Thématiques have announced their purchase of 10 Collage2 TG systems and two Collage2 GX from Cambridge-based company, Pixel Power, to help automate the multi-branding of its channels.
Lagardère Thématiques, a subsidiary of Lagardère Active based in Paris, wanted to broadcast from a single site to 10 different channels - which required a system that would allow it to automate comprehensively and keep running costs as low as possible. However, quality of graphics for the branding of each individual channel was equally important and Lagardère eventually chose Pixel Power's Collage2 systems to help meet its automation and branding needs.
A key point in their decision was the ability of Pixel Power's Collage TG to replay graphics or animations prepared on the most sophisticated Collage (GX) networked with each other.
The GX's will be used for the creation and update of the graphic chart, which is then implemented in the proper TG. This is then automated to get data from the IT side and put it on air, on time and to the highest possible quality.
The Collage 2 family offers integrated character generation, still-store, painting and graphics functionality implemented on a cutting-edge hardware platform. Tight integration of these traditionally separate toolsets makes Collage 2 one of the fastest and most productive character generator and graphics systems available.
Designed as a fast and reliable text generator, Collage 2 TG is ideal for playout of graphics prepared on either Collage 2 CG or GX and offers a streamlined feature set optimised for live-to-air applications.
Established in 1987, Pixel Power is dedicated to providing broadcasters and facilities with powerful graphics and character generator products. With a flexible, professional range of award-winning products, Pixel Power has over 1100 systems installed worldwide.
