Visually Integrated Display Symbology (VIDS)

DigIt Signage Technologies has been directly involved in developing the VIDS EAS symbology proposed ATSC 3.0 alerting standard.  VIDS is an implementation combining emergency warning graphics with alert & warning text to provide an improved way of displaying emergency information, both as alerts – immediate information and advisories – non-immediate information. Display devices such as character generators, media keyers, and similar equipment adopting the VIDS recommended practices will provide enhanced accessibility through improved message presentation.  VIDS creates a set of display directives for integrating alert information with a specific iconography as part of the visual presentation. Each event is associated with a specific icon or symbol whose depiction graphically represents the current event and is presented with the alert text to build public awareness of these symbols and not rely wholly on reading or specific languages.

How good is the quality of graphics and animations?

ChyTV can make your signage and broadcast graphics as professional looking as any seen on the television networks. Broadcast Television is our 25+ year history working for Chyron Corporation who is the Kleenex or Xerox for a television graphic.

Is there a mouse and keyboard and monitor attached?

With the exception of the LogoIt! product, all of the ChyTV products are stand-alone “appliances” in that there is no mouse, keyboard or monitor.  They run Linux under the hood, and when turned on, they boot up and begin playing whatever the current schedule says to.  ChyTV Tools is the “project” management interface and yes, it runs on a PC on the network.  When content updates are required, you connect ChyTV Tools to the device via network and IP address.  You do your updates, and if you’re playing according to a schedule, you can disconnect ChyTV Tools and walk away; it doesn’t require a persistent connection.  Or, for Live operation, ChyTV Tools can be used to display particular pages, update text information, etc.  We have a number of customers who have successfully run ChyTV Tools on Apple computers using one of the “Windows Emulation” applications such as “Parallels” or “CrossOver”.

Is the unit Plug and Play or must we Set the IP Address?

Setting the IP is very simple.  Out of the box default is DHCP, but by using an included “thumb” drive (i.e. USB), a static IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Nameservers can all be configured by editing a simple text file.

Can ChyTV products be used for Live events? Or is it primarily for scheduled playout?

ChyTV products can be used for both Live events or scheduled playout, depending on your needs.

Pages and graphics can be recalled either live manually or cycled through automatically according to a preset schedule.
