Never before have world-class 2Dand 3D graphics, image processing, digital audio and RISC-based computes teamed with high-quality digital video in a desktop package. This fusion unleashes a galaxy of new videographic capabilities and transforms Indigo into a personal post-production suite.
The D1 option also provides two additional independent video channels. The additional channels allow you to simultaneously manipulate up to three video input streams (two digital and one analog) and two video output streams (one digital and one analog) for applications such as multi-channel DVE and A/B/C roll.
Galileo also offers selectable filters that greatly improve the quality of your productions. The deinterlace input filter brightens the computer display of interlaced video streams. Similarly, the anti-flicker output filter eliminates distracting interlacing artifacts in graphics recorded to video.
The Video Control panel lets you manipulate Galileo's rich set of signal controls. Bundled video tools perform rapid "print-to-video" of live computer graphics, "video-in-a-window" display, and single frame input and output. Other tools allow you to quickly create and edit digital image, audio and movie objects and control removable media devices such as CD-ROM and DAT.
You can incorporate all of these objects into interactive digital media presentations with IRIS Showcase (tm) for maximum impact. IRIS InSight (tm) brings you up to speed with accessible on-line documentation.
Altogether, this host of end-use software gives you enormous power on your very first day with Galileo - a truly incredible "out-of-box" experience.
Powerful development interfaces are available as options. These include the Digital Media development Option, ImageVision Library (tm), IRIS Inventor (tm) and the CASEVision (tm) visual development environment. These interfaces enable developers to create the unique applications which help Indigo and Galileo open up the new frontier in video production.
