is a turnkey 3D on-air graphics solution providing a total answer, from authoring to playout in a single package.
Maestro is a complete solution containing all the necessary ingredients for introducing state-of the-art 3D on-air graphics within any type of broadcast. As a scalable system, Maestro can start with just a single workstation and then gradually interface to other components of the CyberGraphics system to create and accommodate more complex graphic scenes.
As an authoring tool Maestro relies on Orad's Award winning 3Designer authoring software. 3Designer is an advanced and simple to use 3D authoring software.
Running on a conventional PC, 3Designer is an intuitive and clear-cut template based software. Employing a common Drag & Drop method that provides users with maximum freedom and ease of use by allowing the designer to focus on the creative process rather than technical procedures. By using its local preview window the user may verify scenes before going on-air. Using the undo option is another efficient function that eases the authoring process from sports, news, game shows and business. The Maestro controller is a flexible web-page-based solution accommodating any broadcasting requirement. Generating a play list is instantaneous as well as data entries and going on-air.
Maestro is powered by the DVG - the most advanced rendering platform available. The DVG is a PC cluster solution for scalable performance on multiple or single displays. As a scalable platform the DVG can be configured with any number of chained graphical nodes to produce the richest and most photo-realistic, high quality 3D graphics results for real-time live broadcasts. Based on standard Nvidia and ATI graphics cards ensures that the DVG is upgradeable by simply replacing the graphic cards when needed. The DVG video input configuration provides up to 4 full-resolution video inputs that are configurable for specific programming needs.
