At IBC2018, Pixel Power has increased support for IBC TV, the on-site broadcaster, with two key additions: a Pixel Power graphics workflow automation system and a bespoke software application in partnership with BG+C to automate the IBC Info Channel production & delivery.
Pixel Power Automation Enhances Graphics Workflow
IBC TV is a rolling 24-hour news service entirely produced on site, mixing packaged stories from the exhibition with live studio debates and coverage of the conference. With high technical and creative standards to maintain, Pixel Power's Gallium FACTORY production automation system has been deployed to enhance the graphics workflow.
Gallium FACTORY enables template graphic designs to be populated automatically, allowing producers to list the graphics needed for a story, in and out points, and the name of the edited file. The system then completes the task, freeing up edit suite time and resources for other tasks in this high-pressure environment.
IBC Info Channel Graphics Automation
Pixel Power is also powering the IBC Info Channel graphics, in partnership with BG+C. The IBC Info Channel is a rolling package of up-to-the-minute news and information displayed on a network of screens and projections around the RAI exhibition halls.
Stephen Mills from BG+C explained, "When we write software to control Pixel Power equipment, it just works. We have specified Pixel Power LogoVision for a long time and for many customers wanting to do 'live ads', because of their frame accuracy and reliability."
