Orad presents Spark Tracked Telestrator for sports production at NAB

Unlike traditional telestrators, Spark is capable of drawing graphics in both on-screen and field perspective.

Run presents the Spark Tracked Telestrator solution in this edition of NAB. It is an ideal solution for both studio and live sports productions. Spark allows commenters to quickly and easily add compelling improvements. The Spark Telestration tool includes a powerful 3D graphics engine and a specialized touch interface designed for fast live sports productions.

The underlying engine accelerates production, allowing improvements to come to fruition even in a first response. Unlike traditional telestrators, Spark is capable of drawing graphics both on screen and in field perspective and has the option to key the graphics on the field, below the players.

Spark also features an extensive library of rich graphic effects including arrows, markers, magnifying glasses, and light beams. Attributes, including color and width, can be easily modified and controlled. Spark includes a set of easy-to-use tools to further enhance asset banks.

Spark comes equipped with a 2-channel video server to streamline production. This allows Spark to record and manage relevant material and play it on air directly from the Spark system. No external video servers are necessary. Spark is a fully redundant solution and is available in a compact 2U rack.
