Miranda to preview A/V processing on a single card at IBC

Among a number of new products to be shown at IBC, Miranda Technologies will spotlight a single card Densite series 3G/HD/SD video and audio processor, new expansion options for the Kaleido-X multiviewer, and new audio and graphics capabilities for the Imagestore 750 master control and branding processor.

The new Densite series XVP-3901 offers advanced 3G/HD/SD video and audio processing on a single card, and is ideal for incoming/outgoing feed applications. The module accepts 3G/HD/SD signals via BNC or fiber, and provides simultaneous 3G/HD and SD outputs. Signals can be up-, down- and crossconverted and frame synchronized. Black side panels introduced during up- and downconversion can be filled using an integral background keyer.

The XVP-3901 provides 16 channels of embedded audio processing, with four AES inputs and outputs. Advanced audio functions include compressor/limiter/expander capabilities, and 5.1 to stereo downmixing. The XVP-3901 is designed for the new Densite series 3RU frame, which can combine both 2RU and 3RU cards.

The Kaleido-X high quality, multi-image display system can now be integrated with Pro-Bel’s Sirius routers to create highly robust, combined multi-image and routing systems, with control of up to 512 HD/SD video inputs and up to 64 multi-image display outputs. This tight integration offers a flexible expansion path for the Kaleido-X multiviewer, without compromising its image quality and layout flexibility. The system also offers intuitive on-screen mouse router control and dynamic source text tracking.

The new Intuition XG co-processor extends the graphics capabilities of the Imagestore 750 HD/SD master control and channel branding system. Intuition XG is ideal for complex, data-driven graphics, including in-show and interstitial promos. The co-processor offers multilevel character generation, animation and clip playout, and can be readily controlled by Miranda’s Xmedia Suite graphics and voice-over automation. Xmedia Suite streamlines graphics media management, template creation, data interfacing and complex sequence control.

New advanced audio capabilities for the Imagestore 750 master control and branding processor include full support of Dolby E decoding/encoding, Dolby Digital encoding, and high-performance, stereo to 5.1 upmixing using Linear Acoustic technology.
