Key features 

(TELE Info contains all the features of Alpha Pro and TELE 2.2)

Additional features:

-          Broadcasting text and multimedia (graphic) messages (SMS). Moderating incoming messages.

-          Vote holding with the results scale display and a possibility to connect equipment for telephone vote option.

-          Automatic clip rotation by vote. Clip playback starts when it collects the majority of the votes.

-          Automatic blocks output from RSS sources.

-          Titling “on-the-fly” during news block output or organization of live broadcasts in the studio.

-          Picture-in-Picture mode with video clips and incoming digital streams.

-          Built-in module for programming and employment of personal applications written in Visual Basic. This helps to adapt the system for broadcasting in mixed mode (on-air broadcasting together with already prepared schedule playout).

-          Support for personal applications and scripts written in different programming languages, including Visual Basic and VBScript in HTML-pages.

-          Subtitles for movies (clips) displayed by the system using ready SRT-files.

-          Using the following elements in same schedule in any combination:

         o Streams coming from various video signal capturing devices. The source of digital stream can be a controller with IEEE-1394 DV capture interface, “multipurpose TV Tuner” (different cards and USB-devices for video signal capture), or a web-camera. All digital streams can be scaled, colour corrected and sound adjusted, can be displayed in full-screen or picture-in-picture mode.

-          Editing schedule and its elements:

         o Define text attributes of the video clip (band name, artist name, song name, etc.) for automatic overlay in the beginning and at the end of the clip;

-          Synchronously with the start of every schedule element it is possible to overlay an additional unlimited number of text and graphics elements (secondary events) over it:

         o Animation files without restrictions of real cumulative output area (sequence of graphic files (TGA) with alpha-channel);

         o Titles (Windows fonts, Unicode coding supported), can be rotated by 90 degrees;

         o Crawls and Rolls.

Output one or several crawls and rolls not only over the pass-through signal, but also over clips and incoming digital signal (Stream) used as schedule elements.

Moving text can contain static or animated logos. Crawls can have markers assigned to them for pause or speed changes.

It is possible to perform output and editing of the text in reverse direction, in conformity with selected national font. Crawls can run from left to right and from right to left.

         o ScreenCap objects (displaying the computer screen window).

Capturing Windows Desktop display with all real-time changes (ex. In order to display flash-animation or a part of Internet Explorer window content). ScreenCap can be inserted into pass-through video signal or over a clip (digital stream) in a window with soft edges, scaling, colour correction and smoothing.

-          External DV devices control via 1394 interface. Allows to broadcast the material directly on-the-air via Stream ALPHA card without preliminary copying to computer.
