News

There is little argument that the demand for 24 hour rolling news is here to stay. The graphics in a news programme, perhaps more than anything else, set its style. Rolling news channels demand a very large volume of graphics, as well as a high level of homogeneity. So it follows that automation of graphics to air is critical.

Why RT Software

RT Software's tOG based real time graphics products are based on many years' experience putting real time graphics systems into the BBC's News environment. tOG 3-D has a unique provenance having been designed, tested and run to air in one of the best and biggest news-gathering organisations in the world.

What Benefits Does RT Software Provide

tOG's template-driven approach means high volumes of live graphics can be available with no user intervention required. Support of the MOS protocols (Omnibus, iNews, ENPS, Q-News, Octopus etc) allows easy integration into existing systems and workflows for control throughout. The tight integration of automated and live operating modes allows breaking News to be handled live.

Graphical content can by created by a journalist working on a Windows desktop. Journalists can add stills and video to graphics using tOG's inbuilt cutout tool. tOG creates stunning histograms, pie charts, line charts, and so on using its quick and easy charting tools. In short, tOG is a best-in-class telestration product offering a high level of interaction with a news story.

When it comes to providing an integrated approach to Newsroom graphics, combined with the ability to handle a breaking news story faster than anone else we think you will agree tOG is a winning approach to news graphics.

"We moved to 3D graphics in 2008 and
needed a product with good, local support
– as well as flexibility and value for money.
We chose tOG and it has been in daily
use since then. We have done tests using
it as a single camera virtual studio solution
and were very impresses. We have
elections in 2009 and are looking forward to
significantly higher production values than
were previously possible. In all, it has
been a good choice."
