Morpho 3D Graphics and CG Platform

This year at CABSAT Orad will be featuring its new Morpho 3D graphics and CG platform. Morpho 3D is HD/SD-switchable and is the first CG tool ever to offer full 3D graphics capabilities. Delivered in a 2RU rack-mountable chassis, Morpho 3D offers incomparable creation and design capabilities.

The system features flexible playback based on a single application, with powerful real-time graphics rendering. One of Morpho 3D's most unique features is its "smart" graphic design tools, which provide a built-in tutorial for the operator or designer.

Morpho 3D is equipped with a linear keyer and can play video clips from all popular file formats including AVI, QuickTime, and MPEG. Morpho 3D is an extremely powerful system used for on-air graphics, channel branding, and as a CG solution. Morpho 3D carries a very affordable mid-range price with high-end capabilities.

ProSet Virtual Studio System

Orad will demonstrate the latest version of its ProSet virtual studio system at CABSAT 2009. ProSet is Orad's high-end HD/SD virtual set system that imports virtual set models, geometry, textures, and animations, then uses Orad's HDVG video graphics rendering platform to run even the most complex virtual set in real time. Designed in line with the total graphics concept, ProSet is an ideal solution for both virtual studio and on-air graphics and can be integrated with newsroom and automation systems.

Maestro Turnkey News Graphic System

The new version of Orad's Maestro 3D character generator features a complete integration with the company's graphic asset management (GAM) system, enabling users to store all graphic assets in a central database along with relevant metadata. Maestro includes sophisticated user-rights management that manages the access permission rights associated with different assets.

A new scene-edit module makes it easy for users to modify or even create new graphic scenes from scratch. To support post-production tasks, Orad updated Maestro with functionality including subtitle playout, video and audio ingest, and interoperability with commonly used NLE systems. Other highlights of the newest Maestro system include support for insertion and playback of up to 12 video clips, sophisticated 3D text handling, and dynamic scene blending.

Orad's product range includes other solutions for on-air graphics, virtual sets, channel branding, 3D graphics, sports enhancement, virtual advertisement, and weather productions.
