Television (On-Air) Graphics
The fundamental advantage of our TV graphics is that it is generated by a program in real time. This means that its content and form can dynamically change depending on various events (e.g. data change, SMS voting, audience voting, a decision of a player/presenter, button press, right/wrong answer, and many other various inputs). Our outputs have professional HD or UHD quality and are supplemented by an independent keying output (Key) and a reference input.
We will try to outline its utilization in the following section:
Direct Broadcasting
We offer a complete technical solution for on-air graphics for direct (live) broadcasts. We will come to your studio or use our car to work with your broadcasting car. We will provide reliable, accurate and synchronous start of video and audio elements such as jingles, contributions, introduction and information bars, crawl, roll, divisions, charts, tables, recapitulations, nomination graphics, closing credits, timekeeping ... All our systems are doubled for direct transmission for possible failures.
Nomination Graphics
Nomination graphics are used to announce a winner from the nominees, who are displayed in separate viewports/windows (DVE - digital video effect). Everything is variable - the number of windows, window size, a frame, an arrival effect, background ... The winner window is enlarged to the full screen after an announcement. In the absence of a nominee, his/her photograph can be displayed in the window.
Charts and Tables
Ideal utilization of our systems are various kinds of evaluations. A table or a chart is available in our systems at any time. Data are up-to -date and updating is automatic, including the subsequent actions such as sorting, re-calculation, graphic representation etc. This rules out operator's mistakes. Data are automatically updated also in the backup systems, so data are the same in all systems at any moment.
Contributions, Divisions
Contributions transmitted by us have several advantages. The first is that they contain keying (Key) channel, which allows you to use flashy keying beginnings and ends of contributions. The second advantage is, that your contribution is transmitted in full uncompressed quality, including the alpha channel, in HD or UHD resolution and in several independent layers. The start of a contribution is immediate and synchronized with sound.
Live Recapitulation
When you need contestant recapitulations from direct broadcasting, our systems will provide it. An operator records individual contestants during the live broadcasting and picks the most suitable part of contestant's performance. The rest is carried out automatically using software created by us. The mentioned special software will ensure automatic start of a jingle at the beginning and at the end of a recapitulation, it will also add a division between individual numbers, it will add an introduction/information bar (together with the current status of votes or percentage) and, of course, it will automatically perform audio transitions. Everything is timed precisely according to the length of individual selections. Everything is in full, uncompressed quality, including the keying information (Key channel), also in UHD resolution.
Information Bars
Any information values can be displayed in a required graphic form and in any number of mutually independent layers. Animated bars and animated arrivals are commonplace. Displayed data (percentage, the number of votes, the number of correct answers, points, amounts ...) are automatically updated by our system and are available at any moment.
Continuous Crawl
Continuous crawl a continuous display of changing data. The data source may be, for example: SMS messages from the aggregator, the number of votes, the names of donors and amounts of their contributions, local information texts, information from various databases and the Internet, data from a statistical office etc. Data may also be retrieved simultaneously from multiple sources and they are then displayed in a continuous crawl according to the defined logic.
Closing Credits
Choose the type of closing credits (roll, crawl, static, two-line, different colours, with logos, animations, with a DVE effects ...) and we will start them, so that they are of exact length and will end with the last song. A plain text file with names is sufficient for us and our software will take care of displaying them in a desired form and speed. Names can be modified at any time; they are transformed into the resulting graphic form at the moment of launch.
Timekeeping
We use time display and measurement for performing various contest tasks as well as to measure the response time. We can measure time in thousandths of a second and it can be displayed synchronously with a television output and also on various external devices such as a LED display, LED walls, projections, monitors etc. Displaying can be in a numerical, graphical or combined form. Timekeeping can be supplemented by various sound signals (start, stop, the last seconds ...)
A Discussion Timer
Interesting utilization of timekeeping is in discussion programmes for measuring the time of individual discussants in order to maintain objectivity of a debate - the same time for each participant. Each discussant has its own timer together with an operator who performs accurate measuring of a discussant time. This ensures correct time measuring even when more discussants speak at the same time. Discussants, as well as audience, can watch the remaining time of the individual discussion participants.
