1 HD and SD clips and graphical assets are ingested 2 3<br />
onto the Xmedia Server for archiving, or directly into<br />
Xstation in smaller systems. Assets can be managed<br />
using rule-based publishing to ensure that the assets<br />
are sent to the correct HD and SD channels. Assets<br />
can also be <strong>control</strong>led manually, using Xplorer.<br />

HD and SD graphics objects are imported into the<br />
Xstudio template authoring application for creating<br />
HD and SD ´smart´ templates. Xstudio allows rapid<br />
creation of independent graphics templates for<br />
HD and SD channels, which address the different<br />
characteristics of the HD and SD formats. For instance,<br />
the 16:9 HD templates may involve more text and<br />
more elaborate graphics than 4:3 SD templates.<br />

Page generation<br />
HD and SD pages can be pre-prepared semi-<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 />
