Pinnacle Systems Announces New Broadcast Graphics Capabilities for
Newsrooms and Live Productions Enhancements-Including Deko 4.0 and
DekoMOS 3.0-Help Broadcasters Create and Deliver Distinctively
Branded Programming and Promotions LAS VEGAS, April 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pinnacle Systems(R), Inc. (NASDAQ:PCLE),
a leader in digital video solutions, today announced enhancements
to its Pinnacle Deko(R) real-time broadcast graphics product
family. These enhancements enable broadcasters to develop and
deliver their own distinctive brand across a wide variety of
applications including sports, entertainment, news and promotions.
Software additions include version 4.0 of the core Deko software
and version 3.0 of the DekoMOS newsroom computer software suite.
Pinnacle is also debuting new Deko 1000/Hybrid and Deko 3000/Hybrid
product models that deliver high-definition (HD) and
standard-definition (SD) graphics from a single turnkey system.
"Many of the world's top broadcasters rely on Deko for their
mission- critical live graphics and branding needs," said Matt
Danilowicz, vice president and general manager of Broadcast at
Pinnacle. "These improvements in real-time animation, workflow,
interoperability, and HD/SD content management illustrate our
commitment to continue to deliver a high level of innovation in
Deko." Deko version 4.0 software anticipated enhancements include:
-- New animation features include effect behaviors which add a more
compelling look without requiring complex effect creation and
automatically adjust to variable length text, data or images using
Deko's content independence technology. Effect behaviors include
magnify, repel, attract and neon-style flicker. Additionally, new
adjustable 3D depth rotation provides more choices to animate
pages, layers, words or characters. -- New productivity
enhancements include a more powerful and visual file browser and
the ability to view Deko and Thunder(R) graphics files and Targa(R)
images (.tga) as picture icons directly in Windows Explorer. --
Increased interoperability includes support for additional external
clip file formats such as QuickTime movies and sequential Targa
files including HD resolutions. A new QuickTime plug-in allows any
QuickTime compatible software application to write Deko-compatible
MXF files. -- Broad HD-SD support. New texture manipulation
technology ensures the correct display of a single graphic asset in
either SD or HD. Unique multi- compose and multi-store technology
allows users to create a single file that includes individual HD
and SD page layouts to take full advantage of the additional
resolution and screen space available in HD, without doubling the
production time or number of files to manage. When a multi-store
graphic is recalled, Deko automatically selects the correct version
of the graphic based on the current video output format. DekoMOS
3.0 software anticipated enhancements include: -- Increased
operational efficiency. The DekoMOS playback controller, which can
control up to nine channels of Deko per show, can now be
automatically triggered directly from a production switcher tally
or other GPI trigger mechanism. -- Improved quality control and
information display. Additionally, the DekoMOS playback controller
now includes previews of individual output channel as well as tally
status. -- Enhanced flexibility for rundown changes. Enhanced
functionality makes its easier to manage last-minute modifications
in breaking news situations. -- Automatic spell check highlights
errors as they are being typed into the graphic template for easy
identification. Deko 1000/Hybrid and Deko 3000/Hybrid: The new Deko
1000/Hybrid and Deko 3000/Hybrid product models create, manipulate
and output no-compromise real-time graphics at either NTSC or PAL
standard definition resolutions, or full 1080 or 720 high
definition resolutions, switching between the two formats with a
simple software setting. Availability Deko version 4.0 is expected
to be available later this year and to be available for all current
Deko models (Deko 550, 1000, 1000HD, 1000/Hybrid, 3000, 3000HD,
3000/Hybrid), as well as the previous FXDeko(R) II and Deko 2200
models. Features may vary by model. DekoMOS version 3.0 is expected
to be available in May 2005. Deko 1000/Hybrid and Deko 3000/Hybrid
are expected to be available in June 2005. Enhancements are subject
to change prior to release of product. The complete Pinnacle
