Intuition XG
Advanced HD/SD Graphics Coprocessor
Promote your brand and efficiently deliver your channels.
The Intuition XG graphics coprocessor significantly extends the graphics capabilities of master control
switchers and production switchers.
With single or dual fill and key inputs (HD/SD), it can playout the most advanced data-driven, channel
branding and promotional graphics, including “coming up next” and program junction promos.
It provides multilevel character generation plus animation/still and clip playout with multichannel audio.
