Stills

DLS

DLS is the stills desk. You need it when the piece is made of pictures and has to go on air at the speed of the spoken word: you pick from the grid, you take it, you move to the next. Nothing to prepare beforehand, except the pictures.

The grid
Selection and reordering

You pick, you drag, you pin the folder you are working in.

TGA previews

Even the formats the browser does not know show up, converted on the fly.

Memory per image

Every picture remembers how it was framed last time.

On air
Multiple outputs

Several destinations served together, each with its own content.

Keyboard shortcuts

Play and stop from the keyboard, to keep up with the talking.

Fades

Soft in and out, or hard cuts, depending on how the live show is going.

Automation
Sequences

Playback orders prepared beforehand and fired with one button.

Slideshow

Automatic advance, with the engine running on the server rather than in an open tab.

Template and background

A graphic frame and a background dedicated to the stills.

With the newsroom
Shared approval

The newsroom browses and approves from outside; only the good material reaches the control room.

Built into PLAY

The same project, with switching between graphics and stills.
