Channel Branding Overview
The Maestro Channel Branding option provides the necessary internal
hard drive storage and the ability to process branding elements such as,
still images, animations, and audio files in standard formats. These
branding elements may be assigned to any of the eight (8) video keyers and
the four (4) audio over mixers. The user will not notice a difference when
assigning an external-direct connection that can be routed, or assigning an
internal source to a keyer or audio over mixer.
The limited space for physical BNC inputs on the Maestro rear panel limits
the number of keyer and audio-overs sources that can be used with the
standard Maestro product. With the addition of the Channel Branding,
these limitations do not apply as internal sources do not require physical
connections to make them available to the keyers and audio over mixers.
With the Maestro Channel Branding option installed, all available keyers
and audio over mixers may have sources assigned to them. They may also
all be placed on air simultaneously if that is your preference.
The Sonata AES-to-MADI converter also provides the ability to assign
sources to and utilize the four audio over mixers; however, only the
Channel Branding allows all eight Maestro keyers to be fully utilized.
