Compix Media Launches New High-Performance, Cost-Effective

Compix Media, a leading
developer of professional-quality character generators (CGs),
today launched its new CYNERG HD, a broadcast-quality, dual-channel
HD CG with unrivalled price to performance for the broadcast,
sports, professional, educational, and government markets.
Capable of simultaneously outputting graphics in either SD-SDI
or HD-SDI, Compix Media's new dual-channel CYNERG HD packs
a powerful punch into a conveniently sized 4-RU chassis.

"Our goal in expanding our HD product line is to offer
a range of world-class solutions that ease the cost and complexity
of HD migration for our customers," said Lan Merrill,
director of technology at Compix Media. "This full-featured,
broadcast-quality dual-channel HD CG is no exception, boosting
workflow and offering substantial time and cost savings without
sacrificing functionality."
The CYNERG HD has the inherent advantage of branding multiple
video streams with different overlay material from a single
chassis and one easy-to-use interface. Rather than invest
in two separate CG systems, users can apply the CYNERG HD
to two different functions at once, saving both time and money.
Additionally, because the data required to create and playback
graphics can be used between CYNERG HD's shared data storage,
users need only maintain one set of graphics data.
Dedicated logo insertion, EAS message generation, and automated
template-based sports-score generation are some of the optional
features supported by the CYNERG HD. Logo generation is offered
via Compix Media's NewsScroll, an application that creates
up to two independent crawls, manually updated or automatically
updated from text files or RSS feeds. NewsScroll also incorporates
static and animated logos, a real-time clock, and automatic
weather updates.
CYNERG HD is compatible with all previous Compix Media CG
systems and operates with other optional Compix Media applications
including AutoCast.
The CYNERG HD is SMPTE 292M compliant with 720p/1080i support.
The system passes all required closed-captioning, VBI, HANC,
VANC, and embedded audio systems requirements.
CYNERG HD accepts static graphic/logo import of TGA, BMP,
JPEG, GIF, PNG, and TIF files. Compix Media's easy-to-use
GenCG HD software, featuring an elegant and user-friendly
GUI, is integrated into CYNERG HD, and offers 4,000 TrueType®
fonts and 300,000 premium quality images included at no extra
cost.
