The cost effective all-in-one solution provides high production value for their vast programming of content covering sports, music, entertainment, theater and movies.

The MSV-G provides up to 4 branded channel outputs per compact 3RU chassis. The system can simultaneously play-out HD-SDI as well as HLS IP video streams and can support up to 48TB of RAID-6 protected storage. The graphics capability supports internal and external branding templates, real-time 3D objects design, 3D particle generator, motion speed control as well as preset animation programming and DVE.
