intuition XgAdvanced HD/SD graphics co-processorThe Intuition XG graphics co-processor significantly extends the graphics capabilities of master control switchers and production switchers. With single or dual fill/key inputs (HD/SD), it can playout the most advanced data-driven, channel branding and promotional graphics, including ‘Coming up next’ and program junction promos. It provides multi-level character generation plus animation/still and clip playout with multi-channel audio.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Multi-level character generation

› A powerful, HD/SD character generator allows the playout of virtually unlimited layers of animated and dynamically updated text

› SD output as NTSC or PAL, HD output as 1080i, 720p or 480p

› VANC + VBI extraction processing and insertion, or VAnc/VBI pass through

Clips, animations and stills

› Storage for up to 400 hours of video/audio clips, with simultaneous playout of multiple clips

› Playout of an almost unlimited number of layers of animated and still graphics for the most advanced branding and promotional effects

› Integration with Vertigo Suite for productive graphics workflows

Audio clip playout

› Four group audio support, with 16 embedded channels and up to 8 AES outputs, which can feed any master control switching system

Robust, automated and manual operation

› Robust broadcast architecture with video bypass, redundant power, RAID storage, hot-swappable fans and drives

› Automation control by serial, Ethernet and GPI commands

› Manual control from iMC panel

Single or dual channel operation

› Three versions are available for single or dual channel operation:

› Single channel, 1RU (Intuition-XG-e w):

• Single program input

• Single fill/key outputs

• Embedded audio processing

• 1 TB RAID 1 storage (2 x 1 TB mirrored)

› Single channel, 3RU (Intuition-XG-3U-e) :

• Single program input

• Single fill/key outputs

• Fully redundant PSUs (3)

• Embedded audio processing plus up to 4 AES inputs/8 AES outputs

• 1 TB RAID 1 storage (2 x 1 TB mirrored), upgradable to 2TB

› Dual channel, 3RU (Intuition-XG-DUAL):

• Dual program inputs

• Dual fill/key outputs

• Fully redundant PSUs (3)

• Embedded audio processing plus up to 8 AES inputs/16 AES outputs

• 1 TB RAID 1 storage (2 x 1 TB mirrored), upgradable to 2 TB

Dual channel Intuition XG (discrete AES only available on dual-channel version)

Rich�integration�with�Imagestore�750The tight integration between the Intuition XG graphics co-processor and the Imagestore 750 master control and channel branding processor provides independent control of eight virtual keyer layers, either via automation or from the iMC panel. A full preview of each graphics layer is available to the operator. The Intuition XG can operate in an ‘Instream’

mode, with the co-processor fed the program input after the Imagestore 750’s mix stage, and with the graphics output to one of the Imagestore 750’s fill/key inputs. The process ensures both Graphics and DVEs are performed by the Intuition XG, and this allows advanced DVE and promo sequences to be prepared more easily.

The channel branding graphics fed from the Intuition XG can also be browsed and previewed from the iMC panel’s GUI.

�Intuition XG:�multi-level�clip,�animation�and�still�playoutIntuition XG provides all the playout capabilities for the most advanced branding and promotional graphics.

Playout of one or more clips allows creation of advanced promotional graphics effects

Intuition XG is ideal for highly animated ‘Coming up next’ graphics

Highly engaging interstitial promos can be played out by Intuition XG

Multi-format clip playerThe video/audio clip player can output multiple clips simultaneously, and features storage for up to 400 hours of clips in multiple formats:

› Ideal for playout of full screen or partial screen clips

› Designed for playout of automated promos, branding interstitials and emergency content

› Clip player supports MPEG-2 (I frame & Long GOP), MPEG-4 / H .264, DV25, DV50, DV100, IMX30, IMX40, IMX50, MXF, GXF, AVI

Sophisticated animation controlsThe sophisticated animation and still playout capabilities include:

› Virtually unlimited layers of animations and still graphics

› Independent control of each virtual layer

› Expandable graphics storage of up to 1800 GB using hot-swappable drives

› Rapid loading of graphics over high speed Ethernet (10/100/1000baseT)

› Keyframe animation editor and timeline for real-time animation playback, including the following animation types: ping-pong, single shot, in-loop-out, multiple loop with loop delay

› Animations can be cut or faded to air, and can be moved to create slide transitions, and they can also be used for reveal transitions

› Graphics can be controlled by ‘business logic’ to reflect data content, using Vertigo Suite applications
