First Step Guide

1. Introduction

TELOP BOX is a Broadcast Graphics system being developed with the concept to “respect

comments from users, and make it easy to use and simple”.

Diverse types of Broadcast Graphics, such as character, still image, animation, texture movie, and 3D, can be produce d quick ly, and Bro adcas t Gra phics can be rearra nge d, chec k ed, correct ed, a nd even outputted all with TELOP BOX.

This textbook was c reated to h elp you understan d the steps of th e operat ion with the aim to help you want to “just start!” from simple drawing and rearrangement of schedule all the way to output.

Before we start the actual operation, let’s learn “how TELOP BOX works” in the following order:

○ What type of Broadcast Graphics TELOP BOX can broadcast

○ How the structure/system of TELOP BOX is composed

○ Where to save Broadcast Graphics

○ Steps to broadcast Broadcast Graphics

Once we have learned the above, let’s begin to learn how to use TELO P BOX by actually using Schedule Registration Software, Broadcast Graphics Production Software, and Output Software.

For introduction of detailed function of each Software, please refer to each manual.

First Step Guide

2. Type Of Broadcast Graphics You Can Produce with

TELOP BOX

TELOP BOX lets you produc e diver s e t ype of Broadc a s t Gr aphics not on l y with c h arac ter and st ill image, but with effect, such as Wipe and Roll, and even with Animation and 3D. We will first introduce you to the type of Broadcast Graphics you can produce with TELOP BOX.

2.1. Still Image

You can produce Broadcast Graphics with character, rectangle, and the like. TELOP BOX lets you place not only character a nd image, but variety of figures (called object) suc h as square, circle, polygon, free curve, and so on.

2.2. Full CG

In addition to superimposed (partial) Broadcast Graphics with character and so forth, you can also produce full CG (whole surface) Broadcast Graphics by setting background.

2.3. 2D Effect

2D effect, such as Roll and Wipe, can be applied to Broadcast Graphics produced.

2.4. Long Roll

Long Roll used for Staff Roll and to introduce cast’s profile etc. can be produced.

First Step Guide

2.5. Custom Slide

You can use Custom Slide (custom effect) which lets you specify rectangle area with Broadcas t Graphics Production Software, and apply effect to it, such as Wipe, and then to output.

2.6. Animation

One point animation, such as [☆] mark rotating or mark on a map blinking, can be placed in screen. For the animation , you will need to prepare s erial number TGA or serial number TIFF file prepared by other software.

Depending on the environment, long animation and animation with large screen size may

require waiting time before playing.

2.7. Layer Effect

TELOP BOX is capable of Layer effect whic h lets you split o ne Broadcast Graph ics into several layers, and to place ch aracter and back ground on sep arate la yer, and then, t o out put with dif ferent effects.

2.8. Real 3D

You can produce stereos copic Broadcas t Graphics b y giving depth t o Broadcast Graphics with 3 dimensional movement and to such objects like character and rectangles.

First Step Guide

2.9. Texture Movie

You can paste QuickTime format (MOV) movie to object and play.

QuickTime movie must be create d using [Animation]. Dependi ng on the enviro nment, large

size movie may not play smoothly.

First Step Guide

3. Where to Save Broadcast Graphics Files

Broadcast Graphics produced by TELOP BOX can be saved and managed per Program.

Users create folder with up t o two layers (Program folder and Broadcast f older) and Broadcast Graphics is saved in the folder.

3.1. File Structure

TELOP BOX has folder/file structure as follow:

○Database

When you want to pro duce Broadcast Graphic s independently for Production type Progr am and

News type Program , Database can be s eparated. T he default Databas e at bootup is alrea dy set

by system preference file (internal setting file), but it is possible to change with each Software.

○Program

The folder to create under Database is call “Program”. Program can be created with any title. Also,

there is no limit to the number of Programs.

○Broadcast

In a Program folder you create folder call “Broadcast”. Broadcast can be created with any title. For

example, if it is a Program that airs everyda y you can create by the da y of the week, such as

“Monday”, “Tuesday”. If the broadcast date is fixed you can title it “January 1st 2017”. You can title

freely.

○Item

In a Broadcast folder, folder call [Item (segment)] is created automatically.

First Step Guide

In each Broadcast there are 100 Items prepar ed. For exam ple, you can create segm ent such as

[Opening] [Weather] [Feature] as Item and save their Broadcast Graphics in each.

Item title can be change d freely and the order can be rearr anged. They will output in the order

rearranged.

○Broadcast Graphics

You can produce Broadcast Graphics inside Item. Rearrangement and such are done with

Schedule Registration Software. Each Item can save 100 Broadcast Graphics.

First Step Guide

4. Steps To On-Air Broadcast Graphics

TELOP BOX includes diverse Software to enable production, rearrangement, and output in variety of ways to accommodate each user need. We will introduce you to TELOP BOX Software commonly used and to their role according to timeline from when Broadcast Graphics is produced to its output.

Within the frame, such as “Broadcast Graphics Production”, are Software titles.

TELOP BOX can be divided into 4 parts: “Draw” part where Broadcast Graphics are mainly produced; “Rearrange” part where Broadc ast Gr aphics are rear range d; “Ch eck /Cor rect” part where character, their order, and effect of Broadcast Graphics are checked; and “Output” part where videos are outputted.

4.1. Broadcast Graphics Production Software

This is Software to produce Broadcast Graphics . In addition to character and s till image, it can also draw figures such as triangle and rectangle. Effects, such as Roll and Wipe, as well as production with timeline, such as Layer and Real 3D, can also be set with this Software.

Who is this mainly for

who produce Broadcast Graphics, who want to correct character

First Step Guide

4.2. Schedule Registration Software

This Software lets you to create new Program; check Broadcast Graphics saved in Program; rearrange; change ef f ec t, a nd s o on. You can check video, 3D and other ef f ec ts in Pre v ie w windo w of PC.

Who is this mainly for

who produce Program, who handles detail setting such as changing effect

4.3. Output Software

his is the Software which retrieves Program produced with Schedule Registration Software. It creates video and controls the board. This Software alone can hand le retrieval of Program to its output.

Who is this mainly for

master, who does output operation in editing room

First Step Guide

4.4. Steps Of Operation

Actual operation from Broadcast Graphics production to its broadcast is as follow. Program is newly produced with “Sc hedule Reg istration Software” , and Broadcas t Graphic s is produc ed within Program with “Broadcast Graphics Production Software”. Saved Broadcast Graphics are rearranged with “Schedul e Registration Sof tware” in their br oadcast order. T hen “Output Sof tware” is used to broadcast.

This is the overview of TELOP BOX. From the next chapter, let’s actually produce Broadcast Graphics, and output.
