Brainstorm Multimedia unveils Aston 3D graphics creation and playout system

Brainstorm Multimedia has for the first time unveiled its next-generation creation, CG and graphics playout solution, “Aston 3D” at IBC 2012.

According to Brainstorm Multimedia CEO Ricardo Montesa, “With the full integration of our eStudio engine, we are very confident that Aston 3D will become the reference system for real-time 3D graphics creation and playout.”

The user interface of Aston 3D further develops the Brainstorm interface, providing a familiar environment and toolset that make the product instantly intuitive, according to the company. Aston 3D blends Aston’s friendly and familiar user experience with the unlimited power and extensive toolset of Brainstorm’s eStudio’s engine to allow operators to create, manipulate, animate and perform last-minute changes of any kind of videographic, even while on-air. Aston 3D also inherits all of eStudio’s 3D-stereo capabilities, which means it is future-proofed for any broadcast demand.

With Aston 3D Brainstorm has condensed 20 years of real-time 3D graphics development into a comprehensive solution that adds levels of power and usability that, combined with the heritage and popularity of the Aston brand, is designed for a much wider audience. Although created for broadcast operations, because it is resolution independent Aston 3D can work in a wide range of graphics-intensive environments from broadcast to corporate presentations.

Aston 3D is compatible with Brainstorm’s range of graphics products. It can also be fully controlled by news and playout systems such as BrainNews or Brainstorm’s OnDemand, or be seamlessly integrated into more complex newsroom environments like Avid iNews.
