A Unified Approach for a TV Graphics Animation Suite
The use of graphics in TV has increased and broadened enormously in recent years. Techniques such as rotoscoping and retouching place special demands on video frame handling, while the need to present graphics as moving elements, or dynamic graphics, calls for yet more facilities. These can be provided, at some cost, in a digital edit suite, complete with graphics and digital effects equipment and with the appropriate set of operators. This article examines an alternative approach where, by the addition of a video RAM store to a fast graphics system, a much more hardware-efficient scheme, operated by only one person, can be realized.
