Section 3 — Channel Branding Overview
Text Crawls
Text Crawls are a special class of animation that the text content of the ani-
mation is created outside of the Channel Branding feature and is then refor-
matted for Channel Branding playout. The source of the text data may be
external or internal to the Maestro system environment. The text data must
be processed and inserted into a predefined animation sequence template
that specifies the display parameters such as font, size, color, border/edge
effect, background elements, and speed of crawl or text reveal.
Text Crawls are one or more text lines, with associated formatting, that
move across the display screen in a horizontal (right to left) direction and
are shown in a single line. The defined speed indicates how fast the text
moves across the screen. The speed is defined in the Crawl Rate (pixel/frame)
field on the Content tab.
The Text Crawls feature includes the ability to insert still images and an ani-
mation into a Text Crawl.
