Pixel Power improves newsroom Gfx workflow

Pixel Power Ltd, a provider of graphics and character generator products to the broadcasting industry, have made major graphics workflow improvements for both MOS enabled and iNews ControlAir Newsrooms using its established range of Clarity character generators and still stores.
Pixel Power has implemented ActiveX controls within the iNews desktop client, which allow the user to browse and search for stills and character generator templates via the new Pixel Browser technology. Stills or CG pages can be dragged and dropped into the story by the journalist with both proxy and full resolution WYSIWYG previews of the finished graphic available. The graphic information is propagated automatically to the ControlAir server for playout, completely automating the insertion and playout of stills and captions for news.
For MOS enabled newsrooms the PixelMOS solution comprises two components, the PixelMOS server, which maintains graphics content and connects physical devices to the Newsroom Computer, and the PixelMOS ActiveX control, which allows the journalist to create character generator media. Both Standard and High Definition Clarity character generators can generate video output of graphics as requested by the active rundown.
The key benefit of PixelMOS is that it supports automatic dubbing of graphics material, even across multiple sites and PixelMOS gateways. This permits plug and play CG replacement as all content is held on the PixelMOS server, as well as simple publication of a new graphics look by uploading new graphics to the PixelMOS server.
James Gilbert, Commercial Director of Pixel Power, said: "Whilst MOS is gaining popularity, the combination of our ActiveX control with iNews and ControlAir offers a cost-effective alternative. The Clarity platform in conjunction with PixelMOS or iNews ActiveX control is ideally suited to this new environment, delivering significant cost savings in both capital expenditure and staff overhead."
