Bliscom Video Constructor refers to the specialized visualization software of the multilayer video assembly and image combining in the run-time mode. The main peculiarity of Bliscom Video Constructor is the support and optimization of the problematic visualization question for the big displays for broadcasting, which emphasizes the software specificity.

Bliscom Video Constructor forms the dynamic image for video broadcasting and helps operator to control and monitor the demonstration process. In runtime mode video-content comprises combination of images, computer graphics and video-stream (files, streams, HDTV etc) with interactive services, Internet data and outputs of the capturing devices. Software supports two main modes of presentation demonstration: (1) interactive mode and (2) automatic playback according to the simple list or complicated schedule (with the absolute or relative time frame and external events, defining playback start and finish).

As a result, big screen or a set of display point reproduce the high-quality video in a style “image-in-image”, where windows containing video may cross the border of the panels’ borders (if you have more than one panel in your video-wall). Hierarchical window structure provides flexible regulation of the information window properties (change of position, scale, border type, color and style), setting up the window transparency, smooth window transformation from one video no another; video-gradients’ effects, transformation of one window/presentation to another.

In general the simplified mode of the product line may be somehow associated with the video-player, however Bliscom Video Constructor is too far from videoplayer, since the functionality, architecture and ideology give tremendous amount of possibilities to the user. These possibilities are not visible from the first sight, however Bliscom Video Constructor is a platform intended for creation of specialized applications on the basis of the common tools. Special editions of the software comprises all expressive means and functional possibilities of the basic platform, taking into account the requests of comparatively narrow subject domain, e.g. TV, advertisement, control rooms and extraordinary control centers, conference-halls etc.

The environment structure of Bliscom Video Constructor may be outlined schematically at the picture below:

To the number of the most outstanding specialized software tools based on Bliscom video constructor may be counted the following systems.

Bliscom Video Constructor ControlRoom edition

Capturing of the computer screen in the real-time mode; support of great number (from 4) of video inputs of capturing the PC image (RGB video inpurs); real-time capturing of the image 1600x1200 pixels no significant overload of the data bus

• Support of 8 and more video inputs of the composite (component) signal in standards PAL, NTSC, SECAM in runtime mode with no overload of the data bus;

• Joining up of large quantity of units into one single logical screen with no specific limitations concerning the bounds and video-windows overlapping;

• Information windows are rendered at the screen in the maximal scale with high level of refinement with no quality losses;

• Combination of the standard and interactive forming of context-depending information enables the automation of image output to the video-wall, taking into account actual situation;

• Client-server architecture (local and remote multi-user support with access rights assignment when necessary).

Bliscom Video Constructor TV edition

High image quality, which is impossible to reach with standard means of video-output (for instance direct connection of the video-wall and single video-output device)

• “Pixel-to-pixel” support (general resolution of the images coming from the video-processing server is equal to the sum of resolutions of single video-wall modules);

• Simultaneous work with the number of different broadcasting scenarios and routine switching between them in time of live broadcasting;

• Runtime control of the scenario (smooth transition of the video-plots; start-pause-stop of single window or all windows at once; possibility to show/hide information window when necessary or depending on the signal availability);

• Available effects for decoration of the live broadcasting or reporting from specially equipped TV-studio, conference-hall (window transparancy, effects of the gradients applied to video, smooth transitions between separate windows, video and presentations);

• Several scaling schemes and video proportions control, image rotation by means of the hardware and software components;

• of the numerous HD video sources, high resolution uncompressed video;

• Support of the capturing devices, working with professional standard SDI (SD и HD).

Bliscom Video Constructor DigitalSignage edition

Support of all the basic visualization feagures, typical for the TV edition.

• Dynamic demonstration templates guarantee the output of the video, images (logotypes, frames, backgrounds), flash-presentations, creeping lines, TV channel transmissions, Internet pages, unique SMS-based interactive scenarios (chats, contests);

• Video-content broadcasting is done in the automated mode, where used play-lists of different level of complexity;

• Simplified video-content broadcast mode (combination of the schedule (demonsrations are appointed to the playback time) and repeated demonstrations of the advertisement with the number of repetitions).

• Professional mode of the timeline forming for video-content broadcast (SMIL 2.1 standard support; hierarchy of the freely inserted sources elements played simultaneously, in parallel; the time of the playback is appointed absolutely or related to the external event; operational editing of the play-list, not influencing the current broadcast session);

• Hybrid advertisement network support (combination of plasma panels, LCD screens, diode panels, TV screens, monitors etc).

Bliscom Video Constructor Cluster edition

• Solution of the specialized excessively complicated tasks: output of the high resolution videocontent, support of several video-walls (integration of the video-walls into one big screen), processing of video, coming from numerous run-time capturing devices (RGB with resolution up to UXGA, composite and component video);

• Mutual synchronization of several video windows for correct output of the videocontent prepared in advance (video-content is represented by video-files with HD-like quality, not cropped, just arranged or sequenced);

• Cropping of the video-content “on-the-fly” for automatic distribution or video-content scaling over the surface of the big screens for broadcasting;

• Further extension of the visualization system on the basis of the Bliscom Video Constructor Cluster to support high-dimensions video-walls or changing of the video-wall geometry;

• Rich functionality for runtime special video-content processing. Image fragmentation according to prior defined rules (e.g. preliminary processing of the video-wall segments for later capturing by the built-in video-wall controllers).
