Broadcast Pix
V8.5
After an animated title is created and exported, it then must be converted into a clip
for play out by the Broadcast Pix Clip Store. The animation is exported by Inscriber as
a sequence of individual Targa files, one for each frame in the animation.
Full page animations that do not contain an alpha channel (a transparent background)
are converted into one .bpv file (Broadcast Pix Video file).
Animations that do contain an alpha channel are automatically detected by Broadcast
Pix, and in doing so are converted into one .bpa file (Broadcast Pix Alpha file).
It is recommended that animations not be imported while a show is on-air, and instead
be done during pre-production, although this function is allowed.
