Logo Generator
The X50 logo generator and inserter provides on-demand insertion of pre-defined static
SD-SDI and HD-SDI logo images.
Logos used by the X50 must be created or saved in the .mg2 file format, and initially stored
on an SD card at your PC workstation. Then you must insert the card into the slot located in
the front of the X50 frame. Logos that you insert into the video feed appear on the SDI 1
primary output.
LogoCreator software that you will need to convert the files to the .mg2 format can be
downloaded from our website as part of the Icon Soft Tools package.

The files that you use as logos must be selected according to the video output standard set
on the X50
SDI1 Output format. When the output standard changes on the module, the
X50 automatically loads files that use the selected output standard.
The following SD cards are supported by the logo generator:

SanDisk 1 GB and 2GB SD class 2

SanDIsk 4GB SD class 4

SanDisk 4GB SDHC class 10

Kingston 1 GB and 2GB SD class 2

Kingston 4GB SD class 4
New SD cards must be formatted to the FAT standard in a PC before use. Be sure to create a
Logos folder and a Presets folder before you start.
