Total interactivity in on-air graphics with Orad at NAB 2011

The possibility for presenters to interact with in-air graphics is an increasingly widespread practice in different modalities. To make the presenter-graphic interface more flexible, Orad will show at NAB 11, Interact, a very effective solution designed for both touch screens and video walls and other devices.

La posibilidad de que los presentadores interactúen con los gráficos in-air es una práctica cada día más extendida en diferentes modalidades. Para flexibilizar la interfaz presentador-gráfico, Orad mostrará en NAB 11, Interact, una solución pensada tanto para pantallas táctiles como videowalls y otros dispositivos.

Lejos del tradicional remoto que únicamente puede ordenar el paso del slide o iniciar la animación, Interact permite a los presentadores controlar y dirigir el contenido de gráfico en pantalla tanto en pantallas sencillas como múltiples de cualquier fabricante.

With Interact, the presenter has unlimited capacity, as it supports countless gestures such as rotate, scale, move, drag, touch, highlight, draw...

Thanks to Interact, presenters can manipulate objects on the screen with numerous interactive elements that provide information to the presenter, activated by color change, blinking, etc. depending on the context of the scene. In addition, these elements have physical properties such as mass and inertia, giving a new level of information to interactive graphics.

Interact integrates with real and virtual studios seamlessly. Graphics interactivity can easily be developed thanks to Orad 3Designer software, which allows broadcasters to define which elements of the scene are interactive and what type of interactions they want to establish. Once defined, each object can be configured to respond to touch, drag, application, etc., generating the animation from the Orad 3DPlay engine.

Additionally, existing templates can easily become interactive in just a few minutes without the need for programming or scripting. As soon as interactive objects are touched, 3DPlay responds by triggering actions in the production. This allows users to create and maintain regular productions, adding interactivity only to the elements that require it.

Other solutions

Orad exhibirá en su stand en Las Vegas otras soluciones como PowerWall, pensada para ofrecer contenidos de alta resolución gráfica hasta 4K en videowalls combinando vídeo en directo con gráficos e intregración total de sistemas de redacción y automatización. Los usuarios pueden modificar en vivo la aparición del contenido sin ningún tipo de asistencia técnica.

Para estudios virtuales, la propuesta de Orad es ProSet. Además de sus capacidades únicas, ProSet ofrece un módulo de gráficos interactivos que permite interactuar con los elementos gráficos, integrándose con todos los sistemas habituales de tracking para un máximo fotorrealismo.

As for augmented reality, it will be worth stopping at the presentation of RealSet, a proposal capable of introducing 3D graphic elements in the studio. Thanks to Orad's tracking capabilities, all 3D objects remain tied to their exact position in the studio regardless of camera movement, creating the illusion that the elements are an integral part of the studio.

Finally, highlight the Xync camera tracking solution that, through the use of infrared, allows free movement of the camera in the studio, including dolly, crane or hand-held camera. Xync provides precise real-time tracking, making it ideal for dynamic and sophisticated productions in virtual studios.
