Input/Output Screen
- The VTW-350HS employs a simple, intuitive user interface integrating the input screen with the output screen.
Creation & Playout
- Graphic templates allow for direct text input. Templates can be created on board or imported from a variety of 3rd party software including Adobe Photoshop™. Direct Text import is also supported
- A variety of effects are available including roll for credits and crawl ticker boxes
- Multi-layered mode allows for multiple layers of graphics with adjustable priority. The levels can be transitioned as a group or layer by layer using the variety of transition effects. Multiple effects and transitions can be used on the same graphic page
- Still images can be captured and used as CG pages or as a background for text based functions
- Preview function allows control of take function from the CG to either preview or program outputs. This allows the CG operator to control live on air functions
- The scheduler function is perfect for creating timed playback of pre-created text and graphics. This is a great feature for uses such as a video bulletin board. Play back can be created on a weekly, daily or hourly basis

Up Your Design Power
- AutoCast provides efficiency to the traditionally operator-intensive live video graphics workflow
- The template-based approach allows effortless re-purposing of graphic assets, freeing up time to design the look and feel you desire
Create Designs, Not Files
- Our template approach reduces the number of iterations of similar graphics
- As a result, AutoCast brings a new level of efficiency to graphic asset storage and retrieval
- Changes to a particular graphic are made and saved within the AutoCast playlist, saving both revision time and storage space
Automate Variable Text and Image Displays
- Sections that need text population, such as performer and player rosters, sequenced titles, or names of on-air personalities, can be retrieved from text files set up in AutoCast or from external databases in advance of your live production or event
Automate Dynamic Data Displays
- One of AutoCast’s most powerful features is the ability to change and fulfill text within a layout template using ODBC compliant databases
- Dynamic text display requirements, such as sports scores, weather updates, or election results, can be automatically updated and integrated into your graphic templates in real time and played over your live video sources
Channel Branding Solution for Any Production

- Two static or animated logos

Greater Flexibility

More Than Just a Crawl
