Orad To Launch Spark Tracked Telestrator for Sports Production

Orad (Booth SL6317) will introduce its Spark tracked telestrator solution. Suited to both studio and live sports productions, Spark enables commentators to easily and quickly add captivating enhancements. The tool features a powerful 3D graphics engine and dedicated touchscreen interface designed for fast live sports productions.

The underlying engine accelerates production, allowing enhancements to be put on-air even for a first replay. Unlike traditional telestrators, Spark can draw graphics either on screen or in field perspective, with the option to key the graphics onto the field, beneath the players.

Spark comes with an extensive library of ready-made rich graphic effects, including arrow, markers, magnifiers, and beams. Attributes, including color and width, are easily modified and controlled. Spark includes an easy-to-use toolset to further enhance the asset banks.

To better streamline productions, Spark is equipped with a two-channel video server. This allows Spark to record and grab the relevant footage, which can be played to air directly from the Spark system, without the use of external video servers. A fully redundant solution, Spark is available in a compact 2RU box.
