LCGn Series of Standard Definition CGs Brings Quality, Ease
of Use to Every Level of Production

Compix, a leading developer of professional-quality
character generators (CGs), announced today the release of
the new LCGn series of sensibly priced, broadcast-quality
analog video CG systems that are ideal for any kind of production.
Designed to meet the needs of standard definition (SD) production
in broadcast, cable, house of worship, government, and education
market segments, the single- and dual-channel products in
the LCGn series are stand-alone systems that feature intuitive
drag-and-drop operation and a robust selection of effects
and prebuilt templates, combined in a straightforward turnkey
solution.
"Improving the quality of your broadcast output doesn't
have to involve excessive expense and complexity," said
Lan Merrill, vice president of engineering at Compix. "The
LCGn series is based on SD video, but its performance and
feature set are well beyond standard.
Each LCGn CG features the same easy-to-use software applications
found in our full-sized Compix systems, including our award
winning dual-channel CynerG2 HD and HD-ready systems, giving
operators the tools they need to create and take graphics
to air quickly. When composite video is the right standard,
the LCGn series is the right fit, at the right price."
The LCGn CGs provide users with a simple WYSIWYG interface
that has been refined by Compix to ensure ease of operation.
Integrated GenCG software offers powerful design, layout,
and playback capabilities, allowing the user to set up an
entire graphics presentation offline and then take those graphics
immediately to air while working on the next graphics series.
In addition to professional templates, colorful backgrounds,
and more than 260 rolls, crawls, reveals, and other effects,
the Compix software incorporates Microsoft® Windows®
MLE multiple language settings and thousands of TrueType®
fonts, supporting unlimited font styles.
Three configurations are available for the series. The LCGn
Single Studio is a single-channel system that supports analog
composite (NTSC/PAL) inputs and outputs with video, key, and
internal video overlay.
The LCGn Dual Studio adds a second channel to these features.
Both systems are packaged in a 4RU rack-mount chassis designed
for the studio environment. The LCGn Single Desktop system
shares the functionality of the LCGn Single Studio but is
offered in a mini-desktop chassis. In addition to the standard
composite inputs and outputs, component and Y/C I/O are also
available. All LCGn models may be used with or without a video
switcher.
Because each model in the LCGn line is preassembled, preconfigured,
and pretested prior to delivery, and because each system features
a very short learning curve, users can begin creating and
taking graphics to air in no time.
