Inscriber® TitleOne™ XT

TitleOne XT Character Generator Software
The TitleOne XT software package provides users with an easy-to-use, feature-rich 2D character generator, making it possible to import still graphics and media files and integrate text using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to create stunning 2D CG pages — in minutes. TitleOne XT supports most common image and clip formats, including TGA, TIFF, PSD, AVI and MOV. Text tools include full unicode support, as well as support for all TrueType and Adobe® OpenType® fonts installed on the system. Combined with ODBC integration, RapidFire page recall and much more, TitleOne XT offers quality for any budget.

Note: Graphics created using TitleOne XT are 100 percent compatible with G-Scribe™-enabled systems such as the Inscriber G5™ and Inscriber G7™. Content created on the G5 and G7 systems may have some compatibility issues when being played on a TitleOne XT system, as certain features, such as 3D playback, are only available on the G5 and G7 platforms.

RTX NET Scripting  
Unleash the power of RTX NET directly from your CG pages and G-3D scenes using the all-new RTX NET scripting engine. RTX NET scripting allows you to design features and functionality to meet your specific workflow requirements. Scripts can be applied to both 2D and 3D elements, and are ideal for creating special graphic effects that can automatically affect the page design and layout based on user-driven content. By utilizing the .NET framework, you can develop scripts in your language of choice, and take full advantage of all of the development tools offered by the .NET framework.

Automation Interface
Automation Interface allows you to connect an Inscriber graphics system to graphics automation systems using the industry-standard Intelligent Interface® protocol. It also enables tag filling and display control using standard serial port protocol or TCP/IP available from most news system vendors, including Harris, AP, Autocue, Avid, Compromter, EZ News, Florical, Parkervision and Sundance.

Strata Compositing
Strata Compositing enables real-time compositing of multiple, independently controllable virtual channels into a single physical channel. Use it to output multiple graphic layers — a ticker, a station ID, a lower third and background video, for instance — as a single channel.

Overlay
Overlay allows you to build and control three additional layers of graphics on top of your current output without having to use additional channels. Objects output with Overlay remain on the topmost layer and operate without disruption. They’re completely independent of other layouts, making them easy to control. You can easily insert and hide clocks, timers, still or animated logos, channel IDs, lower thirds, scoreboards, over-the-shoulder graphics, text crawls and temperature read-outs.

Connectus Integration
Easily publish individual layouts or entire playlists to a Connectus media server with  G-Scribe creation and playout software to quickly and easily distribute content between multiple CG systems. You also can download and approve media from the Connectus server. Media Store operators can directly publish and retrieve media assets including associated metadata.
*Note: Connectus Software must be purchased separately.

FX Animation (2D)
Take your graphics to the next level with this easy-to-use 2D animation editor. Key-frame any graphic and text element, including media objects (with Clips option), on the x, y and z axes. Apply easy-to-use effects such as transparency, scale and rotation to create dynamic, reusable animations, or use pre-built templates included on the system. No previous animation experience is necessary.

Paint
Paint is a 32-bit paint and graphics creation tool integrated within the TitleOne XT design software. It supports unlimited layering, resolution-independent image processing and masking. Paint allows native Photoshop® files (.psd) to be imported directly into the Paint environment while maintaining layers.

Clip Playback*
Clip Playback integrates video clip playout as backgrounds, media objects and textures within your graphics layout, and it supports media content of any resolution, up to full HD. Software codecs enable playout of most Windows® formats, including VIA, AVI, WMV, MPEG-2 and QuickTime®.

The TitleOne XT system provides 750 GB of dedicated media storage in a stripped media array for clip and media playback.

NOTE: Clip playback performance, including the size and number of clips used, is limited based on a number of factors, including the codec used, compression and screen coverage. We recommend that all clips be cropped to the minimal resolution required for playback.

OPTIONS

Upgrade from SD Only to an SD/HD-Switchable System
Upgrade your TitleOne XT-S system to a TitleOne XT-H system with a simple software option. No additional hardware is required.

G-Scribe Offline
With G-Scribe Offline, a standalone software package, you can compose layouts on any computer running Windows® XP, and transfer designs to an online graphics system for playout to air.

Integrated Media Store
Store, manage, retrieve and play out a wide range of media files, including stills, templates, clips and animations. Media Store also includes search capability based on various metadata, including user-definable keywords. This metadata is copied with each image, allowing files to retain all related information when moved from one system to another. Media Store integrates directly with both the playlist and the output display, so graphics resources can be found and used either in CG layouts or sent directly out to air.

AES Audio and Timecode Support
Add four channels of AES audio inputs and outputs with this audio paddleboard option. Trigger graphic sequences using a timecode source with the LTC input option.

Direct Control 2 
Take control of your graphics systems with the all-new Direct Control 2 remote control interface for Inscriber production graphics systems. From a single seat, generate playlists, fill tags and control playback on multiple CG systems simultaneously. A simple drag-and-drop interface makes CG control a breeze with intuitive controls and operation, and is easy-to-use even by those not trained as graphics operators. Direct Control 2 supports most common media formats, including stills, video clips, CG pages and G-3D files.
*The Direct Control option must be purchased for each playback system.

MOS Integration
Inscriber MOS enables remote asset browsing, editing and playout capabilities within MOS Newsroom Computer Systems (NRCS), such as AP® ENPS® and Avid® iNews®. Inscriber MOS consists of a MOS-compliant ActiveX client control interface connected to Inscriber graphics systems. Inscriber MOS gives newsroom staff the ability to create and schedule template-based graphics from their desktops. Once inserted into a run-down, the graphics are available for playout across multiple Inscriber graphics systems. The Inscriber MOS server component negotiates transactions among the various MOS clients, the newsroom computer and Inscriber graphics hardware. Real-time previews are created for the journalists as they create their graphics to ensure the accuracy of each item being added to a story. Absolutely no graphics experience is required.

RapidFire Keyboard
RapidFire is a dedicated, custom keyboard that enables single-stroke functionality for many G-Scribe functions and features. It includes a US 101 key-cap layout for use as a standard keyboard for normal PC operations. The RapidFire keyboard is an essential tool for live event coverage.
*Ships with English key-caps.

RTXports™
RTXports enables the playback of custom or third-party applications — such as financial tickers, elections results or sports score bugs — that have been created using the RTX NET API on any Inscriber graphics system. These customized applications can run concurrently with G-Scribe and Automation Interface, while sharing access to the output channel.
