With a lot of current projects on hold, we were able to help the BBC Science team with a special Horizon programme on Coronavirus – using our Kontactâ„¢ Telestrator.
For the show, the team needed one of the presenters to control video sequences herself, as well as draw on them to illustrate the points she wanted to convey. To do this we were able to provide them with our Kontactâ„¢ Telestrator system. The video below shows it in use.
The system gives a full broadcast output over HD-SDI to the gallery, while also providing a set of custom controls and realtime video feed to the presenter on an iPad (or other compatible tablet). The operator for a presenter is very simple, and requires only a few minutes for familiarisation. Tools are provided to draw lines, arrows and other shapes, as well as transport control for video.
Please contact us if you’d like to know more about our telestration system, or other projects where you think we could help.
