Eyeheight has chosen IBC2009 as the launch venue for a new addition to its range of modular broadcast equipment.

The CW-2M is an HD/SD logo and ticker generator with integral keyer. It allows animated and static graphics plus a line of sideways-crawling text such as breaking news to be added to any part of a television image.

Fully compatible with 1080i/1080p/720p high-definition or 575i/480i standard-definition environments, the CW-2M includes a dual-channel logo inserter which can be used to impose a background image or strap over live video. Text can then be inserted into the strap together with a separate logo. An integral cross-point keyer allows sources to be assigned to any of four layers. Individual and mixed fonts can be loaded into the CW-2M while on-air.

Supplied with the CW-2M, Eyeheight's netCrawler software can be used to configure fonts and colour settings and to preview the ticker text. Dynamic text elements (ticker, time and date) can be positioned relative to the strap graphic. A simple serial protocol allows easy interfacing to dynamic content. netCrawler also allows multiple CW-2M generators to be managed via internet protocol.

Eyeheight's CW-2M works with SD-SDI and HD-SDI sources. An identical SD-HDI only version, the CW-2S, is also available. The CW-2K option adds fill and key inputs to either model for use with an external character generator which can be assigned to any layer.

Up to three CW-2M or CW-2S modules can be housed in a 1 U (442 x 44 x 450 mm WHD) FB-9E etherBox with optional FP-9 local control panel, FP-10 desk-mounting control panel and PS-9E auxiliary power supply.
