The Clarity 200 is
available with three different software profiles and can be configured
to cover
the differing requirements of control rooms, editing and graphics
production. The
Pixel Power’s philosophy is that any material created on its full
featured (CG
& GX) systems can be played out on entry level systems (TG)
regardless of
complexity, animations or effects.
The internal video
clip player provides uncompressed 4:2:2:4 recording and playback from
an
internal disk array of up to 2 hours duration; storage can be expanded
externally and clips can be used as full frame page backgrounds or
resized
using the dual 2D DVEs. The video clip option also includes a dedicated
SDI
preview output, which can be configured as a secondary output channel.
Optional redundant
power
supply and external RAID5 storage provide further protection in
critical
transmission areas.
