Pinnacle Systems Ships Deko3000 HD for Graphics and CG
October 27, 2004
Mountain View, CA - Pinnacle Systems is shipping its Deko3000 HD character generator.
The flagship in Pinnacle’s high definition (HD) graphics systems lineup, Deko3000 HD delivers across the most popular HD formats and at full native HD resolution the full spectrum of effects and features pioneered for Pinnacle’s legendary FXDeko II, the company reports.
Many graphics systems upconvert SD graphics to HD and as a result introduce flaws to the graphic. Deko3000 HD offers a significant and readily visible improvement over such systems by producing at full native 720p and 1080i HD resolutions. The result is graphics of stunning quality that are the perfect foil for impressive HD video.
Deko3000 HD delivers unlimited creative flexibility with a real-time effects palette that includes everything world-class productions demand from a top-of-the-line SD character generator. Deko3000 HD lets the operator perform 2D and 3D animation on a page, a row, a layer, a word, a character -- even on details within a character to create on demand shimmers and glows.
Deko3000 HD delivers the added functionality that sets Deko apart and has made it the system of choice for broadcasters throughout the world. Content independent effects mean that effects always playback as designed, even as data is updated on the fly. Motions that change properties like size, position, rotation, opacity, or even 3D DVEs are easy to create and automatically adjust to the length of the data. This makes Deko3000 HD – and the entire Deko family -- ideal for challenging applications including automated data feeds such as election results and sports feeds.
Deko file association significantly reduces the number of graphics that have to be pre-produced for a broadcast. By creating a master file of elements that graphics can reference, locally or on the network, individual elements or entire pages can be changed automatically.
Deko3000 HD is available immediately. Prices start at $52,000 U.S. manufacturers suggested retail price. Upgrade pricing is available to move from standard definition Deko systems to Deko3000 HD.
