I guess you are talking about this info.
Fusion for broadcast graphics.While Fusion is mainly a compositing tool to make graphics and animations..
I was suprised to see this function..
BMD Website Fusion wrote:Automate Broadcast Graphics
With Fusion, you can write scripts to automate repetitive graphics! You can even update them live and in realtime! For example, you can use a Python or Lua script, along with a simple text document, to automatically create and render updated broadcast graphics, titles and animations with things such as the weather, sport scores, program listings, news headlines and more! Now you can quickly render out up to the minute graphics and get them on air in seconds!
I wonder how to setup such enviroment. As Fusion 9 is free for download. But you need to pay $299 for the Studio version that you need for realtime playback on Decklink cards.
Here is the Compare for Studio player functions. All features can be found at
this linkIt is an enourmes list of functions. I list a few here from the Studio player that are not supported in the free version but are under Fusion 9 Studio $299
- Playback of any format support in Fusion including EXR. New
- Playback via BMD Deck Link and UltraStudio. New
- Single layer timeline with ability to play a number of shots. New
- Set the In/Out trim for each shot. New
- Color format control allows for consistent display of shots from different formats. New
- Annotation notes can be typed on each clip, version, and project. New
- Audio, Scratch track and audio per clip. New
- Collaboration, Multiple Artists can access the same projects different machine. New
- Remote sync makes multiple Studio Players follow the master, for scrubbing, playing and collaboration around the studio and around the world. New
- Shot Versions are stored in the same project to allow for quick access to previous work and for comparison of progress. New
- Guide overlays, customisable to show monitor/title safety and crops. New
- Scriptable automation tasks using the Fusion scripting engine to control features. New
Wonder if there will be a remote software to trigger playouts with key-fill option. Looks like they are working very hard to integrate this software to have a playback side to run in conjunction with the Atem in some point of time.
