The Evertz 9625LG Series Logo Inserters and 9625LGA Series Media Keyers provide a complete
range of HD and SDI Logo and Audio Insertion solutions for the digital television plant. The Logo
Inserters will key 1 to 16 simultaneous static or animated logos over a full bandwidth program video
signal. These units incorporate the best switching technology with the proven channel branding
techniques that has brought Evertz to the forefront of digital television technology. Add to this, time
and temperature logos, and optional Emergency Alert System support, and you have the most
advanced Logo Inserters available today. The Media Keyers provide all the features of the Logo
Inserters plus the capability of inserting audio voiceovers from external audio or by playing stored
audio clips. Audio Clips can be played on their own or played automatically when associated logos
are keyed.
The 9625LG Series Keyers are available in versions to support both standard definition and high
definition video. Throughout this manual the term 9625LG Series Keyers will be used to describe the
common features of these keyers. The term 9625LG Logo Inserters will be used to describe the

There are two versions of the HD9625LG hardware with slightly different feature sets. These early
versions were not fitted with a REF IN video reference input or COM port D. These units operate in
the same way as the later units except where noted in the manual. Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show
the functional differences between these units.
The 9625LG Series Keyers have been designed to manage and store multiple media objects. Logos
and audio clips are stored in non-volatile Flash memory and may be downloaded to the hardware via
Ethernet FTP using the Nomad™ or Overture™ software (included). One animated logo, or up to 16
static logos, can be keyed simultaneously with independent fade control for each static logo. EAS
enabled units have 1 logo reserved for the "crawl" text, thus leaving a maximum of 15 simultaneous
logos. The size of each logo is variable and ranges from 1/25th to full screen. The position of the logo,
fade rates, clip association and animation rates are also user controllable. The onboard preview
allows you to cue your logos for position and content verification prior to going "On Air". On the
9625LGA and HD9625LGA Media Keyers, audio clips are stored as stereo or mono 16-bit, 48kHz
WAV format.
