National News: Aktuellt
Almost all our broadcasts have at least some graphics played out by CasparCG in them.
This case is just one of many examples of a project that makes heavier use of CasparCG.
| What: | National news show Aktuellt uses CasparCG for in-studio graphics and “show-and-tell” |
| Where: | SVT: Swedish Broadcasting Corporation in Stockholm, Sweden. |
| Parts of CasparCG used: | ffmpeg Producer and Bluefish Consumer displaying pre-rendered studio and on-air graphics and animations. |
| Hardware used: | Dell workstations with Bluefish SD cards |
| When: | Seven days a week at 9 o’clock. Has been using CasparCG every night since the winter of 2007. |
In the fall of 2007, Aktuellt – the longest-running news show in Sweden – decided to clarify its profile by incorporating a lot more in-studio “fact files” to explain complicated stories with a “show-and-tell” approach. By playing pre-rendered step-by-step animations on the big DLP wall, and syncing to the host’s reading speed by using CasparCG’s ability to do real-time transitions between all video clips on disk, each night at least two graphical stories are shared with the audience.
Since the fall of 2009, all lower-third graphics are now played out by CasparCG, as well, making it the only graphics system used in the studio.
