About the Evertz 9000DCP-LGA Media Keyer
The Evertz 9000DCP-LGA is a professional media keyer module designed for the Evertz 9000 series high-density video processing platform. Its primary function is to perform real-time keying and compositing of graphics, logos, text, and other visual elements over a live video background. This process is fundamental to broadcast presentation, allowing for the overlay of station logos, lower-thirds, news tickers, sports scores, and other dynamic graphics onto the main program feed. The module operates at broadcast quality with minimal latency, ensuring seamless integration of graphic elements that can be controlled and triggered automatically or manually based on external events.
Engineered for high-performance in mission-critical broadcast environments, the 9000DCP-LGA is a hardware-based keyer offering superior stability and processing power compared to software-based solutions. It typically supports multiple layers of graphics with independent control over position, size, transparency, and key type (luminance or chroma key). The "LGA" suffix may refer to specific features such as local graphic asset storage or advanced anti-aliasing. The module integrates into the scalable 9000 series chassis, benefiting from redundant power and cooling, and is controlled via Evertz's comprehensive software suite, which allows for the creation of templates, scheduling of events, and integration with newsroom or sports data systems.
As a core component of a modern master control or production switcher environment, the Evertz 9000DCP-LGA enables the creation of polished, dynamic on-screen presentations. It is used by television networks, sports broadcasters, and live event producers to enhance viewer experience and convey information visually. By providing reliable, high-quality keying within a robust modular platform, it supports the complex graphic workflows required for 24/7 channel branding and live program enhancement.
