Delhi, June 15 2005: Fox-promoted STAR News, the 24/7 Hindi news channel in India, has bought Beehive Systems’ real-time 3D graphics automation solution called Wasp’3D™.
July 15, 2005 (Press Release) --
STAR News is using Wasp’3D™ for its recently launched 24-hours national Bengali news channel called STAR Ananda.
Wasp’3D™ - an advanced real-time 3D graphics solution, has helped STAR Ananda go on-air and achieve great viewer response with the unique three dimensional look and feel, advanced digital effects and virtual simulations and 3D graphics generated by Wasp’3D™.
Unlimited Creative Tools and Applications - Without a Plug-in
Wasp’3D™ can create real-time 3D graphics at the click of a button. It enables virtual simulation depicting any event such as accident, hijack, cyclone, earthquake within minutes without the help of an expert designer. The unique ‘Programmable Palette (PGP) Technology’ developed by Beehive is available only with Wasp’3D™. The PgP technology provides the designer the flexibility and power to create infinite materials and textures by mixing and blending four texture types with each other in a variety of ways. This in turn incredibly expands the creative possibilities for an artist as he can easily create an original texture or a material without getting restricted. The PgP technology can also blend Bitmaps (images); Video (live and off-the disk); and DDS textures (Direct Draw Surface) and further expand the canvas of the artist to experiment and create something out-of-the-box.
Futuristic DirectX© Technology
Wasp’3D™ is based on Microsoft’s© DirectX© technology which is going to be Microsoft’s focus area in the future. This makes Wasp’3D™ future-proofed in the product life cycle as upgrading to the next level is a mere change of the graphics hardware device with the latest software drivers.
DirectX© is also the platform on which the multibillion dollar gaming industry depends on.
Integration with Newsroom Systems
Wasp’3D™ facilitates seamless integration with existing newsroom systems such as iNEWS and ENPS with the help of Wasp’3D™ MOS ActiveX©. It allows full Unicode support, including languages that use complex scripts. Since it runs on powerful enterprise level MS-SQL©-based database, content sharing across the Wasp’3D™ network becomes easy. Wasp’3D™ imports objects from major off-the shelf 3D software via the X-file loader. The Wasp’3D™ SDK is available to developers to build components for enhancement.
Wasp’3D™ enables multiple graphics events to run simultaneously on screen. The graphics events include crawls/tickers, animated station logos, multiple video insertions, lower thirds, animated 3D elements, supers, bugs, and more. Wasp’3D™ also allows on-air graphics to be linked to live data sources. Data can be instantly updated even while the programme is on-air.
Specialized Modules
Wasp’3D™ comes with specialized modules that perform specific tasks. It is ideal for multiple applications like newsroom graphics, business graphics, real-time elections analysis presentation, sports data presentation, weather graphics and virtual simulation and sets.
