LD4000 – Logo Driver is a high performance logo generator/inserter combining the quality of a logo generator together with the creative potentials of the graphic software for PC . Logos are created by any graphic software in *.BMP or *.TGA formats, at 16.7 millions of colours, even with alpha channel, thus uploaded from PC to the Logo Driver memory via RS-232 or ethernet. The Windows®-based control software standard provided allows the logo transfer as well as the sending of the control commands from PC; tools to re-size or cut the image for the *.BMP format are available, too.

By disconnecting the serial line and /or the ethernet, the commands are thus all available from control panel or GPI, allowing a stand-alone control of the generator. The animation, slide show, standard and programmable crawl functions, transparency and "grey" effects - that is the possibility to select from control panel the direct conversion of a coloured logo into B/W (grey scale) - are the main performances of this new logo generator. Beside, it is possible to display four independent logos both horizontally than vertically at the same time. It accepts the composite, the Y/C (S-video) or component signals. It's also possible to select the type of output signal, independently from the input one.

LD2000 combines the quality of a logo generator together with the creative potentials of the graphic software for PC. The 4 logos are created with any draw program in *.BMP format (Paint Shop Pro®, CorelDraw®, Paintbrush®) at 16.7 millions of colours and are uploaded from PC to the Logo Driver via RS-232 through the control software included. The control software allows the logo transfer, the sending of the commands from PC and includes some useful tools. By disconnecting the serial line, the commands are thus all available from control panel or GPI, allowing a stand-alone control. Transparency, logos dual display and crawl effects are the most interesting performances of this new logo generator. It is also possible to display a vertical logo.
