Advanced Channel Branding Solution

Versio™ Graphics is a complete solution for channel branding, encompassing all the elements required for graphic creation, preparation, insertion and control within the Versio™ integrated playout environment.

Versio™ Graphics simplifies the graphics process, enabling the creation or modification of templates using an intuitive HTML interface with full motion preview and video overlay. You can compose layouts quickly and automate graphics playout with macros, or create more complex animations using direct import from Adobe® After Effects® and add dynamic-data driver content and real-time tags, including content triggering.
