Nexio+ Channelbrand™ Nexio+ Channelbrand™ Advanced Multichannel Branding Solution Nexio+ Channelbrand™ is a cost-effective, multichannel branding solution, combining integrated branding and video playback functions all in a single, flexible platform. It simplifies the creation, display and maintenance of a consistent brand, allowing broadcasters to get to air quickly and simply, with data-driven content, logos, time/temperature display, rolls/crawls, and EAS information. Available in a scalable channel density, Nexio+ Channelbrand can be deployed as a standalone solution; connected to a larger Nexio+ playout solution and ADC™ or D-Series™ automation; or integrated with third-party control and automation systems. Content can be created online or offline and include L-bar effects, multilevel animation/still insertion, and data-driven elements for template-based playout. Offering both two-channel and four-channel versions, Nexio+ Channelbrand provides a flexible solution for all broadcasters. Nexio+ Channelbrand 2x provides two channels of advanced branding and graphics capabilities with multiple live input switching, digital video effects (DVEs) and a maximum number of layers Nexio+ Channelbrand 4x provides four channels of standard branding with digital video effects (DVEs) and a limited number of layers Nexio+ Channelbrand can leverage full Nexio+™ AMP® media server clip playback capability from either internal or external SAN-based storage. This allows users to capitalize on the market-leading design of our award-winning Nexio+ product family, including a comprehensive set of software-based video codecs and advanced audio routing. Nexio+ Channelbrand is enhanced by Imagine Communications’ cross-platform Animation Builder solution, which enables an integrated approach to graphics template creation and allows for simplified and streamlined workflows from creation to air. By leveraging native Adobe® After Effects® CC rendering, templates created by graphics professionals using Animation Builder enable rapid customization without conversion prior to rendering — adding even more efficiency to graphics creation.

  • Understanding EXR Data Compression
    Understanding EXR Data Compression Information compiled by Nicolas Dufresne for Rainbox Productions and Rainbox Laboratory. Contact us if you see any mistake or have suggestions for this document. https://rainboxlab.org Many thanks to Dino Muhić for his expertise about DWA. When using the OpenEXR format, it may be hard to determine what is the best data compression to use, and the question is raised very often. This document is an attempt to answer it, depending on what is your need with the file and what type of image you’re storing. A compression is said to be the best for a specific need when its read or write speeds better fit the application, and the file size is the smallest available. Types of images In this document, we’re distinguishing between the following different types of images: Grainy video or animation Photographic images (including realistic CGI) or animation with grain Video Photographic images (including realistic CGI) without grain Animation, Graphics Highly stylized images such as 2D Animation, Motion Graphics, stylized 3D Animation, or 3D passes such as Z-Depth, Normal... Solid colors, large flat areas Images mostly consisting of solid colors, such as alpha or id channels Texture maps Multi-Resolution files Summary Lossy (final) exports Especially for final exports, you probably don’t need lossless compression, and with the right settings, the exported file size can be quite small with just a very small reduction of quality, and the Master or backup of your movie can be stored this way. In this case, DWAA (with a small compression level) is very efficient in all cases.
