PRODUCT DETAILS
TitleOne XT Character Generator Software
The TitleOne AE software package is an easy-to-use, yet feature-rich 2D-in-3D
space character generator. Users can import still graphics and media files, and
integrate text using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to create stunning 2D-in-
3D CG pages in minutes. TitleOne AE 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 True and Open Type fonts installed on the system.
*Note: Graphics created using TitleOne are 100 percent-compatible with G-
Scribe-enabled systems such as the Inscriber G5 XT and the G7 system. Content
created on G5 XT and G7 systems may have some compatibility issues when
being played on a TitleOne AE system, as some features such as 3D playback
are only available on the G5 XT and G7 platforms. TitleOne AE can play LTV files.
RTX NET Scripting
RTX Scripting allows users to write useful enhancements to CG layouts (.scribe
files) in the C# and Visual Basic.NET ® programming languages without the need
to purchase any development tools. RTX Scripting enhances CG performance in
many ways, delivering the ability to automate layout tasks, execute triggers, intelligently
set object properties (colors, images, text, font, size, position), integrate
with data sources and feeds, start animations and export layouts.

Connectus Integration
Users can 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. Media can also be downloaded
and approved from the Connectus server. Media Store operators can
directly publish and retrieve media assets including associated metadata.
*Note: Connectus Software is a software option that is purchased separately.
FX Animation (2D-in-3D space)
Take your 2D graphics to the next level with the easy to use 3D animation editor.
The editor allows any graphic and text elements, including media objects (with
Clips Option), to be key framed on the x, y, and z axis. Quickly apply 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.
Broadcast Paint
The Broadcast Paint tool is a paint and graphics creation tool integrated within the
TitleOne 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 the 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 AE system provides
750 GB of dedicated media storage in a three-disk RAID 0 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.

Upgrade your TitleOne AE-S system to a TitleOne AE-H system with a simple software
option. No additional hardware is required.
G-Scribe Offline
G-Scribe Offline provides offline content creation tools, allowing CG artists to create
graphics for on air production from their own PC system. Using the same
creation tools found on the playback device, users can generate graphic packages
quickly and easily without requiring time on the On-Air system. The integrated
Desktop Video window provides users with a live preview window of their graphics
to preview animations and clip playback in near real-time.
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.
Direct Control
The Direct Control option adds human intervention to the automation process
for confirmation, accuracy, and flexibility of output. You can check, edit, and take
rendered layouts from a conveniently located computer connected to your network.
Resources on an Inscriber TitleOne system can be viewed and managed
from any computer system on the LAN. This streamlined user interface allows for
editing, displaying, or simple browsing of CG graphics, playlists, news rundowns,
templates or template libraries even by those not trained as graphics operators.
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 running inside the newsroom system, connected to Inscriber graphics
systems. Inscriber MOS gives newsroom staff the ability to create and schedule
template-based graphics from their desktop. Once inserted into a rundown, the
graphics are available for play out across multiple Inscriber graphics systems. The
Inscriber MOS Server component negotiates transactions between 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. There is no graphics experience
required using the intuitive ActiveX Plug-in.
RapidFire Keyboard
The RapidFire keyboard is a dedicated custom keyboard that gives single stroke functionality
for many CG functions and features. It includes a US 101 Key Cap layout for use
as a standard keyboard for normal PC operations and 40 keys for CG-specific functions.
This is an ideal companion to the RapidFire page recall and recording feature.
* 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 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.
