Inscriber® RTX NET™

Innovative Hardware
RTX NET supports fill and key input and output, and provides direct integration with other graphics systems in an upstream or downstream keyed environment. In addition to providing all the benefits of multichannel effects on a single channel, RTX NET supports optional dual-channel SDI output — two independent outputs at the same time.

RTX NET includes a bypass relay on the hardware (optional) that automatically reroutes the video feed during a power loss or system failure to ensure that the video feed is never disrupted. This feature can also be triggered manually to maintain the video feed during scheduled maintenance.

Rich Multilayer Environment
RTX NET boasts a rich multilayer environment for the simultaneous display of text, graphics, animations, video, rolls, crawls and more. All screen elements can be displayed on an infinite number of overlapping layers, providing you with maximum flexibility and creative control over your screen output. Use Z-ordering to set the depth of each layer, determining whether a graphic or effect is displayed in the foreground or background of a layer.

Software Codec Support 
The implementation of software codec support allows for the playout of a wide range of video formats including DV25, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI, WMV, LXF, LTV (hardware dependent) and QuickTime®, just to name a few.

Real-Time Element Transitions
Transition among screen elements such as clip-to-clip, clip-to-animations and animation-to-animation using fades, pushes, dissolves and wipes. Cascade multiple transitions together and increase your creative options, including adding animations or fading elements into a running ticker. Update ticker information while already on-screen — no need to wait for ticker items to go off-screen before updating them. Leave the ordinary dissolve behind with the “organic” transition, which allows you to apply your own mask or pattern to any dissolve. Use your own branding logos as patterns to set your programming apart.

2D and 3D Animations
Enhance your broadcasts by incorporating a variety of animation styles. You can  import pre-rendered animations from Autodesk® 3ds Max®, Adobe® Flash® or Adobe®  AfterEffects®, all with matte (key) for instant playout. Using the G-Scribe Offline™ software (included), simple 2D animations can be built as templates and used for instant update and playout of real-time data. Expand your graphic world to the realm of true 3D with the G-3D™ offline software. From this 3D design environment, you can create your own 3D scene from scratch, or import from a variety of third-party programs such as Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Maya®. Through RTX NET, you can control every aspect of the 3D scene, including lighting, camera, objects and timelines, as well as dynamic texture mapping on objects — all in a native 32-bit environment.

RTXports™
RTXports provides you with the ability to develop and embed custom graphic applications and features directly on Inscriber graphics systems (such as G7, G5 XT, TitleOne XT, IconStation™ and Channel ONE™). Depending on the graphic solution, RTXports can be run as a standalone application, or embedded directly into the application — one box, infinite possibilities.

DVE
RTX NET supports not only the scaling and positioning of various graphic media, but also a high-quality 10-bit DVE of up to two simultaneous SDI input feeds (hardware dependent). This feature allows you to display your graphics without compromising your video content or graphics. As an option, you can purchase support for 3D DVE — one SDI input source.

G-Scribe Offline 
Save the time and effort of manually generating code to produce text and graphics.  G-Scribe Offline allows you to design layouts offline for use within RTX NET. All elements in the layout can be tagged or named so that, through RTX NET, you can access any element or object and update it with real-time data for “just-in-time” playout.

Analog Preview Channel
RTX NET allows you to use dual-head VGA cards to produce an analog preview output. This is a cost-effective way to generate a quality preview output for your operator or director. Preview output can be SD (NTSC/PAL) or in a VGA format. The VGA format is capable of a full preview (not just static thumbnails).

Audio
RTX NET supports embedded and discrete audio without the need for additional hard-ware. Whether you need to play a WAV file or play audio that is already encoded into a video clip, you can do it with RTX NET. Depending on your hardware configuration, RTX NET can support from 16 to 32 channels of audio output while mixing with any incoming audio stream.
