1 HD and SD branding assets are ingested onto the 2 HD and SD graphics objects are imported into the 3 HD and SD pages can be pre-prepared semi- 5<br />

Xmedia Server for archiving. Assets can be managed<br />

using rule-based publishing to ensure that the<br />

assets are sent to the correct HD and SD channels.<br />

The Xmedia Server also manages and distributes<br />

live graphics data from external feeds to the HD/SD<br />

Vertigo XG graphics processors. <strong>Graphics</strong> assets can<br />

also be managed manually, using Xplorer.<br />

Xvp up/down/cross<br />

converter<br />

Xstudio template authoring application for creating<br />

HD and SD ´smart´ templates. Xstudio speeds the<br />

process of creating dual format templates which are<br />

adapted for HD and SD formats. For instance, the<br />

16:9 HD templates may involve more text and more<br />

elaborate graphics than 4:3 SD templates, along<br />

with different graphics positions.<br />

automatically, using an export from the traffic or<br />

scheduling system. Pages can also be populated<br />

fully automatically at air time by directly reading<br />

and delivering data from the traffic and scheduling<br />

system (see page 18).<br />

A single Miranda XVP converter provides HD and<br />

processor, regardless of whether the input signal is<br />

HD or SD.<br />

Playout to air<br />

Using just one list, station automation recalls HD and<br />

SD graphics pages, and drives dynamic sequences,<br />

with live data mapped to the appropriate graphic<br />

template fields to deliver HD and SD outputs.
