Control at your Fingertips
Mediatek comes with an intuitive interface and a touchscreen monitor. When operating live, the system can be used without keyboard or mouse.
Intelligent Preview
The preview channel display contextual information: the image being imported, edited, the composite image being built, or the next image in the display queue. At all time, the name of the image is displayed, making it easy for everyone to communicate.
Independent Inputs and Outputs
Each input and output on the system is independent. This means that you can capture a new still while being on air.Import, package and broadcast stills and clips in seconds
Mediatek is a solution for studios and broadcasters to integrate images and clips in their work. It was designed with the real world in mind, with support for most popular video and image formats, integration of multimedia devices such as flash cards, USB keys and scanners and comes with an easy to use interface that requires little training.
An Intuitive Workflow
Mediatek uses a five step workflow. Each step, except the first and the last are optional and add in functionalities. This means that you can quickly get working, and the learning curve is smooth.| Import | Prepare | Compose | Organize | Live Op |
1. Import
Importing images and clips (MPEG, QuickTime® or Windows Media®) will never be a problem. Mediatek lets you import files stored locally or on shared directories, on USB keys, major camera flash cards, up to two HD-SDI inputs and local or shared scanners.
Most popular image formats can be imported in Mediatek without conversion (Targa, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG). Additionally, Mediatek uses the alpha channel and pixel ratio specified in the file.
When capturing from the HD-SDI, if two inputs are available, they can be frozen simultaneously to grab a synchronized key and a fill from each input.
Also, each file, whether captured, prepared or created as a composite is stored as a TIFF that can be open and manipulated by nearly any other image software.
2. Prepare
Mediatek's Built-In Image Adjustments
Replacing an Alpha Channel Using Mediatek: Mediatek makes it easy to associate an alpha channel stored in one file with an image stored in another: simply drag the image with the alpha channel over
Import3. Compose
No need to use an image editor for packaging since Mediatek lets you combine multiple objects together. Resize, crop, combine stills and clips and even up to two live SDI video feeds. Pick a background, drag and drop a frame over your objects, adjust the drop shadow and you are done.4. Organize
Build playlists with a simple drag-and-drop. Mediatek can smoothly mix between two composites, meaning transitions from one image to another use only one output channel.5. Live Op
Run your playlist or manually trigger an image simply by touching the screen. Up to four outputs can be used as individual channels or paired to output keys.
Access Media from Anywhere
With Mediatek, you are ready for unforeseen situations. By sharing media on the local network, you can always access your digital archives and provide instant access in the studio to media produced by another team in a different room or building. If you are still carrying tapes around, or waiting for somebody to bring you a clip for your show, it's time you have a look at Mediatek.

Solve the Format War
AVI, MOV, WMV, MPEG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, TARGA, YUV, RGB, CMYK, etc. - If media formats remind you of the Tower of Babel, Mediatek and its support for over 20 different file formats is here to helps you get from here. Never send a file back because it is in the wrong format; stop wasting time figuring out how to convert a clip to the correct format.

Package in the Blink of an Eye
Intelligent tools let you package stills and clips in seconds. Composite images on top of a background with a simple drag-and-drop, scale and crop, adjust drop shadows and you're done. No need to save, your slide is ready to be aired.

Never Wait for Rendering
Mediatek's advanced graphics pipeline renders in real time. In other words, you can adjust slides at any time, even just a few seconds before you need them. Add layers, change a clip or an image, move, rotate or scale to your tast. No matter what, never wait for rendering again.

Organize Your Show
Organize your slides in advance. Mediatek can build timed or trigged playlists, meaning you can relax during the show. Something unexpected comes up and the playlist no longer works? No problem: you have access to any slides at any time, even within playlist. Simply type the first letters of the slide's name on the keyboard or browse through large thumbnails using the touchscreen interface.

In addition to the direct interaction with the touchscreen interface, Mediatek can be integrated with other components of a broadcast studio such as the switcher or a new control system.
Switcher Integration
Integration using PBUSUsing the PBUS protocol, Mediatek can be operated from the switcher. The operator learns media elements and recalls them during the show. Using a shared storage, artists can drop their files in a folder watched by Mediatek, making them available to the switcher in a matter of seconds. |

Newsroom Integration
 |
Integration using MOSUsing the MOS protocol, Mediatek can be operated from a newsroom computer system (NCS). The media elements are inserted in stories within a rundown and appear in Mediatek as playlists. |
