Miranda to Feature Broad Range of Broadcast Efficiencies

.

Miranda Technologies, a Belden Brand, a global provider of integrated solutions for production, playout and delivery systems for television broadcasters and multi-system operators, will feature a broad range of products from Miranda and its Telecast Fiber Systems product family at SATIS 2012, taking place in Paris from 13-15 November.

Miranda’s playout solution will be represented by iTX, an integrated playout platform for linear and on-demand television that features two new graphics options. Users can include Miranda’s highly acclaimed Vertigo XG graphics processor, which provides real-time CG, DVE and graphics capability directly into the iTX output server. Alternatively iTX users can opt to take advantage of the deep integration of Adobe® After Effects® rendering in the new iTX Render Service for Adobe After Effects, which provides unlimited graphics and text effects while leveraging the industry’s most powerful and popular graphics authoring environment.

Traditional playout facility managers can discuss the benefits of Miranda's iControl, a highly advanced signal and facility monitoring system that enables operators to instantly review the status of their entire facility and detect, diagnose and initiate repairs. This delivers operational efficiencies while simultaneously ensuring a higher Quality of Experience for viewers.
