Although only receiving the first units in February, Ventuz has already been integrated with Cat & Mouse's game show and election control systems and put to immediate use on two major projects. Coverage of the Northern Ireland Assembly Elections for BBC Belfast used two Ventuz Broadcast systems. The elements making up each type of result or analysis graphic were built on a 3D stage formed by the logo. Ventuz's sophisticated animations systems allowed the camera movements from each graphic to any other to be carefully choreographed.
Carl Blundell, Managing Director of Cat & Mouse, said: "Ventuz has given us a massive leap forward in terms of rendering power but we have lost none of the flexibility to make last minute changes to designs and functionality that our clients have come to expect from us. We have been extremely impressed with Ventuz's ability to encapsulate graphical concepts and logic within the scene itself. The result has been truly reusable elements and simpler software controlling the system."
Another three Ventuz systems have been in use in the London Studios recording a new Endemol game show for the 's ITV network. The drama of 'For the Rest of your Life', from the creator of 'Deal or No Deal', plays out in front of a giant LED wall driven entirely by Ventuz. Another system generates all the overlay graphics, and a third generates 3 separate feeds going to plasma screens in an 'isolation booth'.
"In April and May, Ventuz will be in use for a network game show pilot in New York and for yet more election programmes in Wales covering elections to the Welsh Assembly for the BBC in Cardiff." stated Carl Blundell. "We look forward to building on the considerable Ventuz experience gained during all these projects. We can now deliver post-production quality graphics in real-time in studio with full control over every aspect of a scene - and can only be excited about where this ability is going to take us as a company"
