Imagestore-Modular (ISM-3901)
Single Card, 3G/HD/SD Master Control and Branding
Imagestore-Modular is a low cost, 3G/HD/SD modular master control and branding processor. It offers exceptional space and energy efficiency, with up to 10 channels in a 3 RU Densité frame. Master control features include AB video/audio mixing (16 channels) plus voiceovers. Designed for pre-rendered graphics, it can provide five layers of keying (three internal stores), character generation and EAS, as well as clock and temperature insertion.
