Overview
Media Conversion Software (MCS) is a suite of programs which support
Miranda Technologies Ltd.’s range of professional broadcast products. This
range includes Imagestore, Playstore, Logostore and Intuition. For the
purposes of this document, the term Imagestore will be used to refer to any
products in the range, which are able to playout animations and stills.
The conversions and functions which each MCS tool can perform are listed
below.
Animation Builder
The Animation Builder is used to produce both still images and animations
for use with Imagestore units. Still images can be imported from several
different file types and numbered sequences of images can be used to form
animations. Image parameters such as position, title and keying modes can all
be viewed and edited. When importing animations, the program can
automatically crop images to their associated key and de-interleave field-
based images, to produce the highest quality animations using the smallest
amount of Imagestore playout memory.
Animation Builder can read the following types of files:
Standard image formats (.BMP, .TGA, .GIF, .TIF, .JPG, .PNG)
