SmarterCG

SmarterCG can optionally show preview through a second card output or on PC monitor. SmarterCG can create as many projects as requested as multi-layered objects. The studies can be saved as templates and arrangements on templates can be made during the broadcast. It can reflect the changes out as the current display output on air at any time. It is possible to control each project given in the publication independently and without affecting one another. You can lock any object to prevent replacement. Meta tag can be added to each project in SmarterCG to find and play any project in short time. SmarterCG supports common image formats such as TGA, BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG as graphics or sequence with or without alpha channel. Count up or down timers and Analog or digital clocks can be created with different colors and fonts which can be adjusted by user. SmarterCG can play multiple layer animations smoothly, prepared in sequential TGA,BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG format with alpha channel. Basic geometric shapes ( line, rectangle, circle, arc, polygon, ect. ) can be created in designer. Having unicode support, SmarterCG can be used in Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Persian, Turkish and Cyrillic languages in TruType fonts of windows. Multiple up and down roll objects and from left to right or right to left crawl objects can be created with different speeds. Each crawl or roll item can be linked to a text, folder , RSS or XML to collect content data. It has text objects ” fixed content” and “content that can be changed during the broadcast ” in all fixed, variable and floating writings, the color and transparency, and the color and transparency of the background, font, size, shadow settings, and so on. Logo and animation can be added to floating writings.SmarterCG is a broadcast quality live graphics solution used for creating, displaying and controlling a variety of multimedia graphics. Graphics may be displayed via internal keying (overlay), or external keying where both fill and key signals are output at the same time.

SmarterCG has the ability to create graded background colors. Typefaces can be used oblique / italic, underlined, shaded, borders and so on. Image sequence animation (image sequence) can be played without skipping. SmarterCG can give standard input / output effects and time to remain on the screen to all the projects it supports. SmarterCG can be fed from the horizontal and vertical flows given to the screen and the text, information, the local computer and text (text) and XML files from any computer on the network. When the contents of text files are updated, the software automatically detects them. In addition, it can run collective text files or image files in the folder in sequence. Thanks to RSS recording module, SmarterCG can automatically broadcast RSS data in the internet sites through saving them as text files or recapturing them at any time by adding automatic logos, images and animations. Sound support is available in SmarterCG program. Audio files can be added to the prepared projects. Moreover, a prepared project can be found easily among the other projects through words entered in the search box if a name or information to study projects is assigned. In addition, when a page is on the air, it is also possible to perform landscaping work to preview on another page without breaking publication. It is possible to prepare SmarterCG projects on another computer system and transfer it to KJ system via network or removable memory / disk.

The Smarter CG is An extremely Powerful Titling program designed especially for the Live Broadcast and Video Post Production environment. It comes with a very flexible, easy to use, Title Compose Program for creating High Quality Title Pages . Once the Title Pages have been composed, they can be displayed automatically or completely under Manual Control.A Display List can be created ahead of time to make On Air usage a simple, One Keystroke Operation, or you can randomly select the Title Pages while On Air. Even with a Display List, you still maintain the flexibility for those "Last Minute" changes. Smarter CG can also be used to display Standard Format Graphic Images as well as Text Animation Sequences. Title Pages, Graphic Images, and Text Animation Sequences can be freely intermixed with one another in any order. Title Pages can contain Text (of course), Background Color boxes, Geometric Shapes, full-color graphic images as Logos, and either a Background Graphic or Background Video. The text is created using TrueType typefaces and can be Sized, Kerned, Rotated, and Italicized. Each character can have up to Two Edges and Three Shadows. The character's edges and shadows can be colorized with a solid color, a vertical Color Spread, a Color Gradient or Textures.

Smarter CG Character Generator

The Smarter CG is a PC-based character generator that produces lower thirds, text rolls, text crawls and more. It can import .TGA animations, text files, still images and even display the PC's time. Any font installed on the system can be used by our character generators, as well as languages (i.e. if using Arabic, Hebrew, etc., text appears right to left - the program itself is in English only). You can create and save as much text as your hard drive allows, and they can be recalled in sequence. Using the Live Operation Mode, the Smarter CG can also be used as a live on-screen typewriter.
