Pixel Power announces Clarity character generator version 7

Pixel Power has announced the imminent availability of Clarity Version 7 software which offers significant feature enhancements for the Clarity character generator family.
The new real time 3D capability is available as an option on Clarity 200 and Clarity 500 systems. 3D objects and animation sequences are prepared offline using industry standard Discreet 3DS Max software and then exported to Clarity. The 3D animations play out in real time with live mapping of animated dynamic text, images and cells onto the object surfaces.
Applications include 3D scoreboards, elections, dynamic map displays, interactive television, channel branding and any graphics display that requires the additional impact of real time 3D animation.
Version 7 software also features 2 1/2 D perspective on foreground objects, including live squeezebacks. Object layers can be rotated on three axes with control of perspective and vanishing point.
All Clarity 100, 200 and 500 systems are supplied with the Windows XP Professional operating system and a new user interface simplifies access to the sophisticated feature set. For example, while editing a graphics layer all the attributes are readily available in a contextualised docking toolbar.
James Gilbert, Commercial Director of Pixel Power Ltd, said: "This significant software release brings real-time 3D capabilities to the Clarity family, both live mapping onto 3D objects and perspective squeezeback. We've also moved to Windows XP and created a new user interface which makes Clarity even easier to use, whether in graphics production or live event work".
