The CinemaLive HD is a new tool for video weather presentations, including a fully 3D, 360 degree environment which enables presenters to display and manipulate video objects in any part of the broadcast scene, including in front of and behind them.
The system architecture is live on every level, instantly updating graphics and videos as new data comes in, and rendering in real time, enabling meteorologists to show continuously updated data and videos during severe weather situations.
The system creates and outputs video in native HD and includes 3D modeling and Microsoft Virtual Earth street-level display capabilities.
Also included is the system's virtual set capability, with five custom virtual sets giving you unique looks for each newscast and for special programming, and saving the cost of building new sets in the future.
AccuWeather has also upgraded the data provided with the system, to include more models, complete hurricane/tropical storm data, Level 2 NEXRAD and additional radar data, and many other data enhancements.
