Compix Media, a leading designer and manufacturer of PC-based live video graphics equipment, is introducing the LCG 9000R HD, the company’s first high definition video graphics generator.

The LCG 9000R HD is a flexible, easy-to-use integrated software/hardware platform that empowers stunningly exciting broadcast-quality production for users moving
to the HD format. This new generator is ideal for any production environment working in HD or moving up to HD. Supporting 1080i and 720p formats (50/59.94/60), the LCG 9000R HD allows users to quickly master graphics, do live editing of content for breaking news and updates, and take it to air in a snap.The LCG 9000R HD is a complete turn-key package, pre-assembled and preconfigured for immediate use, at a widely affordable price point.

The rich feature set of the LCG9000R HD includes the capability to output graphics in both SD-SDI and HD-SDI simultaneously. The system has a HD-SDI built-in downstream keyer for high definition overlays, and the SD-SDI or HD-SDI output can easily be configured upstream of the switcher as well. Both signals are effectively broadcasting through Compix Media’s robust, standard GenCG software that has proven a winning feature in other models of the popular Compix product line.

workflow across video formats. This gives users unmatched reliability and compatibility and an upgrade path that maximizes the in-service life of existing
