Pixel Power Enhances Integrated Playout and Brings New Gallium Automation to NAB 2012

Burbank, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2012

Pixel Power Inc., (NAB Booth N2034) the leading innovator and supplier of broadcast playout solutions with integrated graphics, has today announced plans for NAB 2012 which include a showcase of its new ChannelMaster integrated playout system. ChannelMaster, as well as all Pixel Power product families, is designed to support social media and second screen display applications. The event will also be the first-ever showing at NAB of Pixel Powers new Gallium integrated, sophisticated and scalable scheduling, asset management and automation system.

Graphics are no longer planned and executed from a single point in the broadcast chain. So Pixel Power graphics now pervade every aspect of the operation, putting functionality where business, creative, distribution and workflow requirements need them, said Pixel Power Inc. CEO Pete Challinger. The combination of our new Gallium automation system with our powerful integrated playout systems like ChannelMaster and other graphics appliances enable the creation of broadcast operations that encourage sharing of resources across channels, reduce workload requirements, and optimize delivery.

Gallium is Pixel Powers new integrated scheduling, asset management and automation system for playout facilities that need automated control of Pixel Power transmission devices, including ChannelMaster, for graphics or complete channel playout. Gallium goes beyond the usual channel in a box automation to provide a true enterprise caliber, scalable, automated transmission solution. Gallium can manage delivery of multi -format content for web, mobile, and IPTV applications- including 601, HD-SDI and file based outputs. The resulting fully automated environment maximizes sharing across multiple channels, reduces workload and resource requirements, and enhances delivery and consistency. This architecture is capable of scaling readily to more than one hundred channels that can all be monitored from a single operator position.

ChannelMaster integrated channel playout systems combine storage, graphics, DVE, audio, subtitling, master control, live feed and long-form video playout all within a single dedicated hardware platform. ChannelMaster changes expectations about what can be done with integrated playout. Bringing the full feature set of a traditional Master Control switcher to the integrated playout environment, ChannelMaster includes an optional hardware panel for operator driven live switching. Inside ChannelMaster is dedicated processing that supports a full range of sophisticated graphics including real time 3D, multichannel clips with alpha and unlimited layers. A single ChannelMaster unit can be configured as one complex channel with preview or two simpler channels.

Cost is ultimately the biggest factor driving broadcasters to consider channel in a box solutions. A Gallium-ChannelMaster bundle costs significantly less than a functionally equivalent system using conventional equipment and automation. In fact, the more sophisticated a channel will be graphically, the greater the savings to be had, said Challinger.

Mobile Dating Service Yumixo Announces Its Launch and Brings Online Dating Back to Real World

Moscow, Russia (PRWEB) June 19, 2012

Yumixo Team today announced the release of their dating application for iOS devices. Yumixo mobile app uses geo-location functionality to help singles to find dates nearby. Dates are the core of Yumixo experience and they are all about offline dating. People post first date suggestions either to the community overall, or they can invite someone specific. For example, a person can post a date: lets take a tango class and then test our moves at the Cinco de Mayo party. Potential matches may reply by indicating their interest in this date. If both parties are interested, they can settle on specifics of the meeting by safely communicating within the application, without revealing their phone number of email address. In addition to finding the dates, the app allows to find other singles in the vicinity. With Foursquare integration Yumixo allows to assign a nearby place to a date, so that people can imagine their first date in that place.

Today finding your second half online is hard. People are faced with dozens of dating sites. Often these sites require people to complete long profiles or answer psychological questionnaires which supposedly will help you find your perfect match. Then, there are hundreds of profiles; and you can never be sure whether they are fake or real. Even if you like the persons profile, it may turn out that a great match on paper doesnt have chemistry that you are looking for. Hours spent on sifting through the profiles, and writing messages back and forth can be wasted.

“There is no equation for love and you shouldn’t rely on math behind many compatibility tests to find a person you want to be with. The only math principle you should rely on is the law of big numbers – the more you meet new people, the more likely you are to find your special one.” – says Almas Abulkhairov, Yumixo Team Leader.

Yumixos solution to the online dating problem is to help people meet each other face to face as early as possible. By proposing dates, people reveal something about their personality. And if you accept a fun date, you know that at least you will have a good time, even if you dont find your romantic partner this time around. It is going on disappointing dates one after another, which makes singles decide that there is no hope and give up online dating. Yumixo makes dating easier, more fun and less awkward, by allowing people to specify experience in advance, and by helping singles to match up with those who have similar interests. In addition, to provide safety, each user is given opportunity to validate their account with Facebook, so that people can judge on that person by number of their friends on Facebook.

Yumixo team is backed by ABRT Venture Fund, which was established by Ratmir Timashev and Andrei Baronov, the founders of Aelita Software. They started Aelita from the ground up and eventually sold it in 2004 for $ 115 mln to Quest Software. Now they are the founders and the leaders of Veeam Software, which is one of the leading companies in the virtualization and cloud backup and disaster recovery, and management market.

Yumixo app is live in the App Store: it is simple, intuitive, and free to download and use.
