Sun Shines Over Orad's 3DWeather

Orad Hi-Tec Systems, a leading provider of real-time broadcasting graphic solutions, has been basking under the sun with its multiple sales of 3DWeather, Orad's turnkey, HD/SD real-time graphic weather prediction system.3DWeather supports the representation of any type of information, including conventional weather data such as satellite and radar images, ISO thermal, pressure and precipitation images, and synoptic information.
3DWeather also offers exciting "flights" over geographical areas, providing viewers with an innovative new perspective. All the representations can be presented on 2D and 3D maps in real time.
3DWeather's easy-to-use template-based system enables journalists to update their weather show on the fly in real time with data from such leading weather data and map providers as MapCube and CustomWeather.
Amongst the recent new 3DWeather installations is Belgium's RTBF, whose weather show has gone through a profound transformation this year. Jean-Charles Beaubois, Head of RTBF's weather report, said: "With these new technical and graphical capabilities, RTBF now offers a more dynamic and concise forecast, with such features as alarms and indices. By relying on 3DWeather and its real-time graphic capabilities, RTBF is more reactive. To complement the weather show, the viewer can see a 3D flight over Europe and the Near East over RTBF's satellite channels."
Avid Sharir, President of Orad, said: "The 3DWeather prediction system is a product of Orad's commitment to providing complete end-to-end graphic solutions for every possible broadcasting need.
"The multiple installations of 3DWeather worldwide reinforce Orad's position as the leading broadcasting graphics provider."
