tOG-3D Pro

Top end 3D Real Time Graphics

Capable of delivering a truly complete range of on air graphics, with tOG-3D Pro you can cost effectively realise even the most ambitious designs and effects, in real time.

tOG-3D consists of 3 core elements that can be consolidated onto just one PC (ideal for OBs or portable solutions), or can be licensed separately and distributed around a studio infrastructure. These are supplemented by an optional module to provide a Preview capability.

  • EDIT element. Used to create graphic templates and to customise the Playout element as required. Offers excellent support of .fbx to allow a close integration with all major design tools.
  • PLAYOUT element. Intuitive and easy to use interface used on air to manually control and add content to graphics.
  • LIVE element. This is the rendering engine in tOG. It is highly efficient and includes performance analysis tools to optimise graphics performance.
  • PREVIEW element. A chargeable option for the tOG-3D Pro bundle, Preview provides the ability to run a 2nd instance of the rendering engine and thus allows a full preview of the next graphic in the Playout stack when prompted.

The Key Benefits

  • The quality of its rendering and effects capabilities. Major broadcast customers tell us tOG renders better real time graphics than any other supplier.
  • Its ease of use on air, either through its own fully customisable Playout interface or custom 3rd party interfaces. It is often a project requirement that PAs are driving graphics.
  • Design workflow that fits current practices. This includes tOG's import capabilities (.fbx) from all major design tools such as 3D StudioMax, Maya and Cinema 4D - but also our inbuilt graphics effects capabilities and also our support for CGfx shaders and tools such as Mental Mill.
  • Product capabilities go beyond graphics and approach "channel in a box". Support for remote control, multiple live SD and HD SDI video input, DVE capabilities, multiple mpeg streaming, audio, keyers,
  • It is an open solution, supporting plug in technology for extending functionality.
  • Cost effectiveness. Expect a tOG based solution to be about half that the competition. Getting more for less in the current climate must be worthy of consideration.
