Template authoring<br />
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 />

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 />

fully automatically at air time by directly reading<br />
and delivering data from the traffic and scheduling<br />
system (see page 18).<br />

HD feed downconversion<br />
A single Miranda XVP converter provides HD and<br />
SD feeds simultaneously to the Vertigo XG graphics<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.
