Enhance your Deko character generator with ClipDeko, our integrated clipstore.  Create spectacular on-air graphics with moving backgrounds and animated logos with moving mattes.  With Deko, you can have it all in one system – graphics creation and disk recorder functionality – for optimum user flexibility and ease-of-control.

ClipDeko’s sophisticated, intuitive GUI allows users to browse, preview, trim and loop clips from within your Deko CG.  Add clips with key to the event sequencer to get exactly the look you want when you want it.  Clips can be set to loop over multiple events or can be triggered individually for each graphic either manually or through GPI control.  You can also create a 3-point loop, to dynamically animate a clip onto the screen, then play into an infinite loop.

Since ClipDeko stores and plays video and key, animated logos and other partial screen graphics can be played back directly to air.  The moving video with animated key, can be displayed either under or over the Deko page.  For example, you can have animations within the semi-transparent bar behind your lower third graphic.  Animated logos of unlimited size can be keyed over the top of your graphic page, all from within your CG.

ClipDeko is so easy to use too.  With the ClipEdit window open, you see graphic thumbnails of all clips stored internally in your Deko and even set the picon to whatever frame you choose.  You can just drag-and-drop the thumbnail from the ClipEdit window into your Deko Channel window, and the clip will play automatically.  Clips can be embedded into graphics and combined with effects, for the fastest playout possible.  For adjustment of the clip, simply grab the scrub bar for frame accurate trimming and key offset control.

ClipLayers enables 2 clips to play at once – in a single channel - for moving banners and backgrounds at the same time. Clip Layers can also be scaled or cropped to auto-fit into a graphic template.

Additionally, clips that reside on a Thunder system can be browsed from the Deko ClipEdit window with added control of any Thunder channel for playout of clips and sequences. This gives users a tighter integration between Deko and Thunder functions and flexible choices for the control room.

The ClipDeko hardware supports DV25 standard video compression format.  Clips can be imported as .avi and .dv formats from standard applications such as Adobe Premiere™, After Effects™, and 3D Studio MAX™.  Any digital video source can be connected to your Deko and captured in real-time.  ClipDeko, like all Deko products, can transfer files over standard computer networks, making clip and graphic  file transfer quick and easy. And Deko’s Clip Watcher folder allows an auto-import of clips into a the Clip Edit database as a transparent process to the user.

Embedded audio functionality is included in ClipDeko too.  Up to 8 channels of audio can accompany your clip playback, to add an extra touch to your CG Effects.  Audio files can be volume-adjusted or even muted as needed.

*ClipDeko is available as an upgrade to FXDeko II, Deko2200, Deko1000 and Deko550 systems that include Digital I/O.  Put ClipDeko on your Deko system today, and bring the most powerful on-air graphics you’ve ever created to life.
