A. Special Features
Appendix A describes new or prominent options of the master control system. It presents these top-
ics:
• Intuition XG
• Machine Control and Pre-Roll
These features are distinct enough to warrant their own sections.
Intuition XG
The Intuition XG system is an “advanced HD/SD graphics processor” coupled with Xmedia soft-
ware.
Intuition XG is a master control option . Intuition XG systems can stand on their own indepen-
dently. Master control is enhanced by it but does not require it.
When it is integrated with an NV5100MC master control system, the Intuition XG processor feeds
HD or SD keys (fill and key video inputs with up to 16 audio channels) to MCEs. It is a single- or
dual-channel graphics processor that provides multi-level character generation, and animation, still,
and clip playout with multi-channel audio. The Intuition XG processor can also control an MCE’s
squeezeback functions, audio overs, and main sources. With these features, Intuition XG adds what
can be called “rich branding” to the MCE.
Intuition XG is associated with a set of configuration tools and graphics generation applications.
These tools generally belong to Miranda’s ‘Xmedia’ product series.
One of the most significant aspects of the Intuition XG processor is that it can process “live” data:
• Multiple databases files, XML, RSS feeds, and web data.
• Proprietary data feeds, including Reuters, AP, SportsTicker, and Bloomberg.
