For Immediate Release   Graham-Patten Systems and Ensemble Designs Introduce New Avenue Module GRASS VALLEY, CA (January 24, 2000)--Graham-Patten and Ensemble Designs announce the Avenue™ signal integration system's Model 5250. The 5250 provides five channels of conversion from serial digital into either composite or component analog outputs. Flexible and easy to configure, 4x oversampling and 12 bit processing ensure high quality conversion for the most demanding applications. "We are happy to provide a solution for customers with monitor walls and remote trucks. The 5250 is great for multiple sources - five channels of digital video are converted to analog with just one module," said Cindy Zuelsdorf, Director of Sales & Marketing at Ensemble Designs. "This module not only adds source identification, but eliminates the need for under monitor displays." Module parameters can be monitored and controlled locally and remotely. Remote control is accessed via the Avenue Touch Screen Control Panel and through the Avenue PC Control Application. With on-air tally directly in the picture, each channel has two GPI tally inputs which control color coded squares positioned over the corner of the image. Position and color of these tally indicators is programmable. Both on-air and preset tally can be indicated. Moderately priced, the Avenue Model 5250 is the ninth module in the signal integration system's video converter series.
