Overture™ Software

Overture™ is an easy to use graphical interface that integrates the speed of fast Ethernet, with the ease of drag and drop functionality to deliver a central access point to Evertz keyer products. The software enables the management of media files, which are used to produce the branding. Overture™ enables the user to manage media files over a large TCP/IP network. Users can manage their entire network of Media Branding products from one central location.

Overture™ also enables the user to convert media files, like bitmaps (BMP), tiff (TIFF), targa (TGA), JPEG (JPG), Quicktime movies (MOV), and Windows movies (AVI), into a file format (.evl) that will run on the Media Branding products. Overture™ also enables users to upload WAV (.wav) files for audio voiceovers and 'snipes'. Overture™'s design canvas feature enables users to create frame accurate animated logos (from a series of supported files mentioned above), text crawls, and temperature and date logos. The design canvas provides various fade control settings.
