Orad To Demo New Artwork SeQuencer

Orad Hi-Tec Systems (Booth SL6317) will premiere its Artwork SeQuencer, a file-based clip- and still-playback server coupled with real-time graphics controlled from a single user interface. ASQ will be typically used for playback of transitions as well as of sequences and images onto studio displays.

ASQ provides all the expected functions of a clips-and-still store, including ingest from file, video and image capture from live feed, alpha preview, back-to-back playout with transitions, rundown creation. Many additional features facilitate its integration into modern workflows:

• Content tagging and cataloging for easy search and access
• Ability to be triggered by switchers or studio automation
• Real-time graphics controlled from the same user interface
• Streamed preview of the real output as well as preview of individual assets available as part of the user interface.

In its full capacity, ASQ is equipped with up to six video channels, typically two input streams of video in and four streams of video out. It supports all commonly used file formats and wrappers, can host clips from different formats in the same playlist, and can play clips back to back.

ASQ is fully redundant with a hot-swappable dual power supply, RAID-protected hard drives, and dual network cards, all from a compact 2RU box. It is equipped with 8 TB of RAID-protected storage with automatic copying and deletion processes.
