Fusion Studio allows you to carry out interactive presentations with multiple lighting sources, textures and data mapping on 3D objects.

Now, thanks to Scene Launch technology, it will be possible to easily create a virtual wall of monitors with thumbnail images that the presenter can call up by simply touching the screen. Unlike previously available solutions, which require up to 40 instructions to create a link, Scene Launch elements can be built in four easy steps. Scene Launch together with the MagicTrak interface thus make up a powerful tool for live presentations.

The Animated Revealers feature has also been added, allowing meteorologists and presenters to incorporate multiple graphic elements immediately on the fly, all under Fusion Live's customizable interface.

Bill Baker, president of Weather Central, has assured that “Weather Central's new tools eliminate the gap that usually existed between creative ideas and their broadcast.”
