COURTYARD DOGS ADD MORE BITE
Farnham, May 2, 2002
Courtyard Electronics’ channel branding
products now offer enhanced capabilities with the addition of
animation and multi-language (including Arabic) character
generation as standard features. This applies across all of
Courtyard’s Digitally Originated Graphics (DOG) equipment.
The latest additions remove any language
barrier so that broadcasters around the world can benefit from a
range of capabilities normally associated with more expensive
equipment. The targeting of the specific applications of
in-vision clock with Time PieCe, logo generation and
presentation with LogoDog and the presentation of live sports
information with SportsDog, produces high-quality results at
affordable prices.
On-air presentations can now include a mix
of static and animated logos, text and clocks. As always, the
Dog range makes operation straightforward and efficient as it
can be networked and automated to fit with modern on-air
operation and technology. More than ever, today’s broadcasters
need to convey information as well as a distinctive look which
includes both the animated and static logos stored, assembled,
output and keyed – all within with the Dog products.
The multi-language text takes advantage of
Courtyard’s extensive character generator experience, embodied
in the DiamondCREDIT CG, to produce the finest anti-aliased
results. There is massive scope for customisation as the use of
TrueType fonts in all Dog products means the broadest font
selection is easily available at the most affordable price.
With most standard graphic formats
supported, static images and animations can be imported from
almost any graphics package. Even while on-air, profiles
(combinations of logos, animations, text, clocks, etc.,)
prepared offline can be imported into the transmission device
via a network connection. External control can handle all
aspects of operation including the internal keyer and
cut/fade-up profiles as required.
