Graphic Overlays
The optional integrated graphics add-on – which requires TelVue ProVue IP Decoder integration –
allows you to manage station identification “bugs”, scrolling “tickers” across the screen, and “snipes”
for additional on-screen information. This works with both external TelVue ProVue decoders and
integrated decoders in a HyperCaster SDI or HyperCaster Analog model.
A “Ticker” is a text crawl overlay that can be used to run a message across the television screen
during a broadcast. A “Bug” is a graphic, usually the station logo, which can be placed anywhere on
the screen, but is usually placed discreetly in one corner. A “Snipe” is an automated on-screen
message that is most commonly used to promote upcoming programs on a TV channel, but can be
used to display other forms of information as well.
To manage graphics, go to the “Overlays” section under the Config tab of the HyperCaster interface.
“Tickers”: Creating a Text Crawl
Click on the “Tickers” link to see (and set) which text crawls are active on which channels.
To create a new ticker: select the “add” button on the right hand side of the interface to be brought to
the New Ticker Overlay page.
To edit an existing ticker: click on the ticker name to get to the editing interface.
