Pixel Power has added StreamMaster Prime to its range of graphics and playout solutions. Taking advantage of its technological platform media processing StreamMaster, StreamMaster Prime is a turnkey solution with a flexible feature set, designed primarily as a replacement for individual equipment in a traditional architecture.

James Gilbert, CEO of Pixel Power, says that “many of the broadcasters we spoke to have told us that they are not yet in a position to move to a completely new, software-defined playback architecture, but that individual elements of their legacy systems need to be replaced.”

“StreamMaster Prime gives them a single, cost-effective solution, connecting via SDI, with all the usual automation interfaces, making it a simple replacement for an outdated master control mixer, video server or graphics inserter.”

“Most importantly, software licenses for StreamMaster Prime are transferable, so when the broadcaster begins to migrate to a new architecture or deployment model, existing functionality can be transferred at no additional cost,” he adds.

StreamMaster Prime supports automated branding graphics, multi-layered static and animated logos, clocks, text tracking, tickers, DVE transitions… Options include a dual-port video server, audio processing for multi-channel sound, and master control functionality.

It is capable of operating autonomously, with panels user interface control of hardware or software also available. Furthermore it is plug-and-play with all major automation systems.

"This is a direct response to a real industry need. It is a standard appliance with enough hardware power to run the software applications likely to be needed, tailored to the user's needs. For those who need to keep a legacy drivetrain running, or perhaps an outside broadcast truck that needs motion graphics playback, it is a very welcome solution," Gilbert concludes.
