Preparing for Image Transfers
Images are transferred to and from the Synergy 100 MD switcher using the WebDAV protocol. Stills
and logos are stored on the switcher hard drive, and can be transferred to other control-room devices
via Ethernet.
Image Specifications
Images must meet the following specifications and naming conventions:
File type
Images for the Synergy 100 MD switcher can be created in any graphic package that outputs
compressed or uncompressed Targa files.
Still Image File Size
Still images can be created as either a 24-bit or 32-bit file:
• 24-bit file contains no alpha component
• 32-bit file contains an alpha component
Maximum size of a Still image single frame:
• 1080i format - 1920 pixels by 1080 lines
• 1080psf format - 1920 pixels by 1080 lines
• 720p format - 1280 pixels by 720 lines
Animated Image File Sizes
Animated images should be created as a 32-bit file with an alpha component.
Maximum size of an Animated image single frame:
• 1080i format - 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels
• 1080psf format - 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels
• 720p format - 1280 pixels by 720 pixels
• Animation - 128 MB maximum
Storage Capacity
The number of images that can be stored depends upon the size of the image being used. Full screen
1080i images take 5 times the storage of a 480i clip. However, a small, animated logo in 1080i will
take much less storage than a full screen 480i clip. The MediaCache for Global-Store option increases
the RAM capacity from 256MB to 1GB. This allows storage of up to 4 seconds of uncompressed
1080i playout or 25 Seconds of 480i playout.
