Full choice of text/background color, and use of any background image Full control of text dynamics Rendering of text left to right, right to left,andvertically Text can be transitioned onto the screenwitheye-catching transitions like fades, slides and wipes. Timed rolls and crawls (specified by time asopposedto speed) Independent, sub-pixel control of the speed of each crawl or roll layer Looping or single pass crawls and rolls Templates can feature embedded time-lines for applications such as gradual reveals Easy automation of character generation Character generator can be fully controlled by multi-session automation, including station automation and dedicated graphics automation Templates with embedded control allow complex graphics effects to be controlled from a single call from automation Operates with a range of graphics automationsystemsfor powerful interfacing with databases, web data andmultipleproprietary data feeds Miranda’s easy to use software suite makes lightworkof template design, data interfacing, graphics proofing and media management OVERVIEW OF INTUITION BUILDER FUNCTIONS Control Panel Provides easy selection and storage of media files. Object Properties Panel Allows selection of object transition properties, such asfading,slides, and text crawl and roll dynamics. It also provides easy previewing of animations using a slider bar. Data Source Panel Enables operators to link data sources to dynamic graphics, and this can operate with sources such as automation, web data and clocks. Mask Panel This allows users to create object masks, including controlled blend ededges. Color Palette Provides easy coloring of text and graphics elements, with a wide range of gradient and transparency effects. CREATING ATYPICAL INTUITION BUILDER TEMPLATE USING PAGEBUILDER FOR OFF-LINE PAGE CREATION The Page Builder software works with the Intuition Builder application and allows off-line creation of graphics withdata-interfacing (withoutan Imagestore Intuition connected). PageBuilder is ideal for graphic artists who need an efficient method of generating multiple, similaron-air graphics elements.  FAST QUALITY CHECKING WITH PAGE PROOFER Page Proofer is a software option for Page Builder which simplifies the process of quality checking of automated graphics. The software allows pages to be checked well ahead of on-air playout, and there by helps prevent the transmission of graphics with errors. Page Proofer takes the pages generated by Page Builder, and presents the pages for easy manual checking of the compositing of the template and the data.
