Managing Graphics for Sports Content

Sports content relies on graphics more than almost any other form of video programming - the presentation of player information, timings, results and other anouncements all form a vital part of what stimulates, informs and entertains the viewer.

The Aston 7 is the ideal platform for sports graphics; the designers have combined all the proven functionality and useability from previous generation of Aston CG products with many new innovations:

* Offline design and preview of graphics projects on standard PC laptop & desktop hardware
* Animations in true 3D
* The means to control and display any number of independant graphics elements on the same page
* Support for fast changing content, and animation control, through the Aston Datapool PC interface
* A full suite of CG clock functions
* The means to preview and rehearse graphics output using a standard DVI PC monitor
* Full operator edit tools for last-minute design or content updates (Or operator edit lock-out if preferred)
* Support for sport-specific graphics control panes to simplify score and event handling during a sports event
