Harris To Intro Live Graphics Systems

Harris Corp. will introduce two systems for demanding live broadcast graphics that it says boost creativity and productivity for on-air broadcast and other video productions across all budgets.  Harris will demonstrate both systems at the 2012 NAB Show (Booth 2502), taking place April 16-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The new Inscriber G8 and TitleOne AE real-time graphics production systems share a design philosophy that uses next-generation hardware platforms for advanced graphics processing and increased storage performance — maximizing ease of use and operational efficiency. The company says both support “proven, mature graphics production workflows for off-line and on-air graphics creation, graphics template and database management, and automation control.”

“Live graphics have become essential to differentiating TV shows and broadcast networks, as well as enticing and informing viewers,” said Harris Morris, president, Harris Broadcast Communications. “By employing powerful, next-generation hardware platforms and cutting-edge graphics software, these systems boost creativity and productivity while giving users the freedom to create innovative new looks and effects that enhance the viewer experience.”

Inscriber G8

Inscriber G8 is built for high-end graphics creation. Its imagery, graphics and animation capabilities offer real-time creation and execution of high-caliber, complex 3D graphics and animations used in live news, sports and special events.

Inscriber G8 uses an Intel Xeon E5 processor and NVIDIA Quadro 4000 professional graphics processing unit (GPU) to reduce channel hardware density for a greatly reduced footprint (2RU), lower power consumption, and improved performance and clip playback scalability.

Inscriber TitleOne AE

Now shipping, the Inscriber TitleOne AE live graphics system shares many of Inscriber G8’s sophisticated graphics creation features and real-time single-channel HD/SD or SD-only 2D-in-3D graphics.  TitleOne improves on the previous-generation of TitleOne Inscriber graphics systems by adding an enhanced CPU (central processing unit) and an NVIDIA Quadro 600 professional GPU for maximum flexibility and performance.
