In order to offer broadcasters access to state-of-the-art graphics capabilities, OmniBus has worked closely with UK-based company rtSoftware to incorporate its outstanding tOG real-time graphics product into iTX.

iTX GFX combines the ease of use of iTX with the proven power of the rtSoftware tOG rendering engine to deliver high quality 2D graphics, sophisticated 3D graphics and realtime DVE effects.

Running on an enhanced hardware platform, iTX GFX provides the most compelling realtime graphics effects and delivers full-featured CG capability combined with the ability to handle live video and DVE moves that can be previewed on the iTX Desktop.

The incorporation of this advanced, high-end graphics product into iTX delivers a number of significant advantages:

• The physical integration of the two products reduces both the amount of hardware required and the complexities of network or serial interfaces.
• Graphics can be previewed and modified directly within the iTX Desktop rather than requiring a separate user interface.
• The graphics do not need to be rendered in advance of playout.
• Text is stored as metadata directly within the playlist and can therefore be edited right up to the last second.
• As the graphics are resolution-independent, the same graphic can play out in SD, HD or on web streams without having to be recreated.
• With graphics and video existing in the same 3D scene, graphic elements can interact with video to an unprecedented level, including reflections and refraction.
• Scheduled graphics and real-time live graphics can be easily combined.
• Rich integration with external data sources both for text content and any other animation parameter e.g. bar charts, weather graphics etc.
