1.     Overview

Seekfit’s IdealCg is an elementary and user-friendly character generator system. It incorporates various fonts, transparent banners, images, animated logos (clouds with rain, sun, etc.) in channel design. With this program, you can create and display titles, crawls, logotypes, weathers, graphics, animation, time and more on live videos.

4.     Features

TV-program titling while editing or on the air manually;Information display in form of text and crawl, either left or right;TV-channel / program static logo display;Digital clocks generation and display;Animations and logos playback;Cyclic playback of scripts;The number of graphics elements, which can be used, is unlimited.The element of broadcasting schedule can be edited on-the-fly, while the system is playing, the new ones can be added and the old ones deletedUse any Windows fonts for the title(Unicode supported)Crawls can run from left to right and right to left

High quality and ease of Character Generation

Using all available Windows TrueType fonts;Using text processors and graphic editing programs principles;Static or animated images in PNG or TGA 32-bit formats;Anti-aliasing broadcasting quality;Using 16.7 million colors and 256 transparency levels to fill any page element.

Usability and efficiency

Classical Windows program interface and WISIWYG mode;Instant title output by using prepared scripts;Horizontal Crawl – endless pages run horizontally from left to right, or from right to left(specially designed for languages read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, etc.) ;Save effects as projects, so that you can reuse them next time.

 

5. Program interface 

 

Ÿ   Main program window

From user’s point of view, this program is just a single window text editor, which allows editing several scripts one by one and keeping them ready for output. IdealCG is basic Windows program interface and “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) mode provide fast and easy mastering of its capacities by the user.

Title output can be done manually, or by generating a sequence of pages (Go to Page window) and playing it out in a fully automatic mode.

Ÿ   Vertical toolbar for style editing

You can choose change all attributes of text: font, size, color, transparency, edge size, edge color, etc. For crawling texts, you can define the area of its action, as well as duration or speed of the effect and a delay after the execution of the effect.

By checking “Write Card” at the bottom, you can choose to display the creations immediately or not, in order to add some scripts urgent over live video; or you can display them via Seekfit’s CG Play program, then you can make other scripts while playing.
