When the technological resources of FOR-A, a hardware manufacturer and virtual studio integrator, and Brainstorm's eStudio, a virtual studio software program which has been well-established throughout the world, are fused together, the resulting synergy effect opens up a world of "broadcast graphics". Through this new and exciting on-air graphics solution, immediate form is instantly given to the powers of creative imagination. The digiStorm Advantage   Offered by FOR-A and Brainstorm Multimedia, digiStorm is a system solution providing numerous features for smooth operation of broadcast graphics and virtual studios. The hardware design is based on FOR-A's accumulated technology and extensive expertise in the system integration field. A number of software packages are also provided to facilitate setup and operation. With digiStorm, operation processes become simpler. Some of the key technologies used in digiStorm are presented here.   Hardware and software behind the digiStorm system     Key software   - Brainstorm eStudio: The ultimate on-air graphics software with superior rendering capability   - Brainstorm Easyset3D: Software that enables easy operation of virtual studios     Operation support   - ifCalibSTD: Camera calibration software A powerful support tool that performs lens and position calibrations essential for operation   - Brainstorm Controller: System operation software Creates transmission/event lists and performs data linkup using ODBC/CSV     Creation support   - Data Converter: Data conversion software Converts data from 3D graphics software (Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage XSI)   - eLibrary: Virtual Studio set library   Linkage with studio sub-control systems   - System linkage with HANABI: Enables seamless virtual studio/RCG operation     Consolidation of system equipment   - MBP-1244 + MBP-12CK: Video card + Chroma keyer Equipped with camera input, video wall input, chroma key composite output, delay line, DSK, etc., this creates a virtual system on a single PC, realizing a compact and low cost virtual system.device.     Efficient usage of equipment   - DSC-100/200: digiStorm controller Traffic center for various types of data in the virtual system   digiStorm System   FOR-A’s digiStorm system makes it possible to realize a 3D virtual studio system and RCG system more effectively, more efficiently, and with higher cost-performance than ever before. For example, whereas one CG processor is required for each camera in a regular virtual studio system, with the digiStorm system, one CG processor can support multiple cameras. FOR-A’s long record of experience in video equipment development and system engineering enabled us to develop this system. Its tremendous power for content creation is being realized in broadcast stations, BS/CS stations, CATV stations, schools, and a wide range of other fields.   System example 1: RCG system     System consisting of one VRCG terminal with one camera Click here     - Effective for adding to existing studios and usage in live relay at sports events.   - Supports various sensors.   - By using the MBP-12CK and not just the MBP-100CK, compact operation with a single PC is possible.   System example 2: a system linked with HANABI     System consisting of one VRCG terminal with multiple cameras Click here     - When it is the primary selection (camera input switching) with the HANABI video switcher, the serial tally signal inputs to DSC-100/200 and switches the camera sensor signal.   - A system with one PC and multiple camera systems can be build, which offers you low cost and simple operation.   System example 3: a PGM/PREV system linked with HANABI     System consisting of two VRCG terminals with multiple cameras Click here     - When there is just one CG terminal, you cannot check PREV composite video, but by setting up a PREV terminal, it is possible to check not only PGM composite video but also PREV composite video. Effective for switching, checking and camera return video during live broadcasts.   - The PREV terminal can also be used as a delivery backup terminal to build a highly reliable system. Other possible system configurations are possible depending on the environment and application. For details, please contact FOR-A.
