Quick Info
:
OnTheAir CG will
overlay graphics over a video signal going in the input of
a Decklink card. The overlaid signal will go out through
the output of the Decklink card. There is support for
internal keying or external (Fill & Key).
OnTheAir CG is a client-server solution, so you can do your
graphics on one station and overlay it with another
station. The info is sent through Ethernet from client to
server.
On the client solution, you can create Static Text, Shapes
(rectangle, round rectangle, ellipse), Images (static or
animated tga sequences), Tickers, Clocks (Analog and
Digital). All these objects can be animated with basic
animations at th beginning and at end.
Text and ticker objects can be linked to a folder where you
save text files. These text files will be automatically
inserted in your text or ticker object, making it very easy
to update information on screen.
