7 Years of Proven Success in Asia

Before being introduced globally, Compix Persona has been sold and used in over 800 locations in Asia, under localized names. With this amazing foundation, we are able to provide a rock solid product with a proven track record. Compix Persona has been used in major broadcast stations, sports arenas, educational and governmental facilities, and in corporate environments.

6 VirtualOverlays™

Compix Persona's VirtualOverlay™ enables real-time creation of multiple and independently controlled virtual pages. These pages are then composed into a single physical channel. You can output a ticker, a station ID, a lower third, and video clip, all from a single channel.

Each VirtualOverlay™ is completely independent from each other, making it extremely easy to control. Fixed location objects such as clocks, timers, and station logos can remain on the output and operate without disruption. Still or animated logos, channel IDs, lower thirds, scoreboards, over-the-shoulder graphics, text crawls, RSS feeds, and temperature displays can quickly and easily be inserted or taken off at your fingertips. Each VirtualOverlay™ has its own sequencer, making it easy to toggle among several pages during live operation.

Building additional pages on top of your default page and outputting them all simultaneously, using only one physical channel, can save you tens of thousands of dollars by eliminating the need for purchasing multiple units, or units with multiple physical channels.

5 Essential Features Included

Built 4 Live

You can count on Compix Persona. When it is time to go LIVE, nothing matters more than speed and ease-of-use. The features below showcase how Compix Persona is equipped to handle your live requirements.

QuickPlay

One of the most essential tasks of a character generator is to quickly communicate up-to-the-minute information such as school closings, traffic alerts, or breaking news. In such immediate situations, a CG operator needs the shortest cycle time to air without losing any time in creating fancy graphics with effects. Compix Persona is built to handle this situation in three simple steps. One, double click a template from the Catalog. Two, type in the information. Three, press the Play button immediately above the edit screen. You can take your graphic to air in less than five seconds.

Live Sequencer

Compix Persona's live sequencer builds a sequence list from the start. When you open a new project you are automatically building a new sequence which can be saved as a project file. Once your graphic creation is finished, the interface can be changed to show the thumbnails of all pages at a glance. Easily arrange the page order by dragging and dropping the pages to the desired location. Program and Preview pages are clearly highlighted for easy viewing and various live commands such as Cut In, Cut Out, Play Previous Page, Pause, and Stop are immediately available.

LiveAction™ Keyboard

Your on-air operation just got a lot simpler, smarter, and faster! Compix Persona's LiveAction™ keyboard displays the commands that are readily accessible from a dedicated, clearly labeled, color-coded layout. In addition to custom keys, operators can quickly call up pages by entering the page number on the numeric keypad. It also features two built-in USB 2.0 Full Speed ports for easy transfer of files. The LiveAction™ keyboard is a vital tool for your live events and is included with your purchase of Compix Persona.

3D Creation, Import, and Real-Time Rendering

3D Creation With Compix Persona, text and shapes can be customized into eye-catching 3D in the shortest possible time. It only takes a couple of clicks to access many convenient features such as extrude, bevel, and lighting control to build cool 3D designs directly from the edit canvas.
