HD Digital Logo and Text Inserter

LogoSTAR 300-HD - Moving Logo & Text with Effects

(order part #LGST-300-HD)

The original LogoSTAR has evolved to the next generation of television, yet maintains legacy affordability, connectivity, features, and performance –witness LogoSTAR 300-HD.

The days of laboring over your logo inserter to “update”it are also over. Using our advance LogoSTAR 300-HD GUI, you may conveniently connect to it from anywhere via a LAN, WAN, VPN or any TCP/IP compliant network.

What sets LogoSTAR 300-HD apart from the competition are the features you have asked for. Using the same sequence techniques found in non-linear editing, you can plot or graph a logo motion with many variables, such as time, trajectory, depth, perspective, and special effects.

Or, if sequencing your standard logo is not your style, just import an animated GIF and your viewers will take notice.

Another standard feature that is sure to please viewers is our two-line text scripting. One line is reserved for time, date, and temperature; the other line is generic and allows you to send “instant messages” to your viewers so they can stay informed. The same sequence effects are available for text lines as logos.

All of this is controlled with the Logostar software that enables comprehensive scheduling of each sequence. You may schedule logos for top and bottom of the hour, on the “9s”or any specific time using our built-in master control module. Alternatively, you also have the choice to trigger logo sequences using our Instant Logo feature or optional external Contact Closure/Serial Device (option).
