Live-to-Air, Multi-Channel Media Playout

Aprisa™ 100 is a versatile, scalable, NT-based realtime play-back system with unprecedented power and flexibility for composing, cataloging and recalling stills in multi-channel/multi-user environments. Designed for broadcasters, the central database with distributed stills and thumbnails provides truly global management of all stills, thumbnails and database records within the enterprise. New stills added on the network are immediately available to all users. Stills common to all users like sponsor logos and station IDs are stored in one place with changes easily made and guaranteed to be system wide. Powerful search filters quickly locate and organize stills by show or user. Multi-level security ensures proper access by users. With an unprecedented level of seamless integration with our Lyric CG/animation software, and paint software such as Liberty and PhotoShop, Aprisa 100 is the defacto choice.

The Aprisa 250 integrates much more than a clip server and stillstore into one compact unit, it also combines the highest video quality on the market with a truly centralized database. This means unprecedented on-air graphics quality (uncompressed stills; clip compression as low as 1.3:1) and a highly efficient production-to-air workflow that is second to none. You can manage and move content from almost anywhere on the network to a central ‘on-air’ repository. Layer stills, clips and transitions internally, saving switcher key inputs. Consolidate on-air playout with a single playlist that recalls stills, clips with key, audio, effects and iNFiNiT! messages. Aprisa provides independent clip and still outputs, or a pre-layered clip/still option with preview and program for cutting back-to-back animated elements and ‘over-the-shoulder’ composites, freeing the burden on your production switcher and technical staff. Impressive performance, even more impressive price.

The Aprisa™ Video Replay System (VRS) is a feature-enhanced multi-stream digital disk recorder providing animated digital video effects, Lyric CG playback, and multi-layer, real-time video compositing. Aprisa 300 makes easy duty of master control automation tasks such as on-air channel branding, credit roll squeeze backs, live ‘throw’ to web sites, and other combinations of re-scaled and positioned video with real time playback of clips. Aprisa VRS includes all of the features of Aprisa 200, plus more. This includes a 5-layer, 3-bus 4:2:2 DTV video mixer with color background generator, graduated color patterns, a keyframeable audio mixer to blend live audio with playback streams, and the ability to record and play uncompressed video. This all adds up to a super-charged video graphics server that works fast, efficiently and in fluid unison with your workflow be it in broadcast or post production.

The Aprisa SSX is a highly cost-effective and scalable solution ideal for Master Control and other areas needing solid still management and on-air recall, but not elaborate play back effects. It operates stand-alone or in a centralized environment integrated with other Aprisa units and/or Duet CGs through a common, shared database. This streamlines the workflow and reduces errors common with other systems. The 4RU chassis houses up to six independent channels, each with key signal for external compositing, yielding an attractively low per-channel price. Flexible control permits a separate playlist per channel, or one multi-channel playlist. Select from analog or digital I/O versions, each featuring internal 4:4:4:4 digital processing. With Aprisa SSX low-price doesn’t mean limited performance (or a board/software bundle forcing you to build a system), but rather a serious, complete solution that gets the job done.
