The New Platform for Weather
The most comprehensive, graphically intensive weather system ever developed, Omni heralds the next generation of meteorological accuracy. Featuring real-time 3D performance, its powerful architecture allows you to present the comprehensive weather story in your backyard or across the globe.
A one-stop solution for broadcast weather, Omni is the perfect integration of stunning visuals and accurate weather depiction. Its real-time graphics allow you to incorporate photo-realistic 3D models into your weather presentation—everything from buildings and vehicles to landmarks and more. A well-stocked template library helps speed up production, while downloadable graphics and models keep your show fresh.
With the integrated Web Scheduler, you can have the kind of graphics viewers are accustomed to seeing on TV, right on your website. Post to your station’s Facebook and Twitter accounts with the integrated social media tool, which instantly lets you upload Omni screenshots and commentary.
The Omni system also animates some 3D models based on actual sensor conditions, as well as fronts and pressure systems—a valuable component of a comprehensive weathercast.
An integrated 3D studio allows you to air vivid weather presentations your audience can’t help but notice, with 3D panels, reflective planes and adjustable light sources.Further customize your show using keyframe animations and the dynamic camera system, giving you complete control over map movements and graphical elements.
Viewers stop and stare when Omni graphics are on display, and once you've captured their imaginations, you can make sure they have the information they need.
