The edit pages for both Tickers and Bugs have tabs for different resolutions, if you are
simulcasting in different resolutions / formats, such as HD and SD.
While saving an overlay, the HyperCaster will automatically populate every version, and automatically
scale to the size and resolution of the different output displays.
Starting with HyperCaster v. 4.2, you can choose a default resolution tab by going to Config–>
Overlays –> Config, and then choosing your preferred resolution. This feature is particularly useful for
stations that are not using multicast.
If you want to customize for each channel, you can fill out each resolution tab manually. But manually
specifying any value on a resolution tab will prevent that resolution from being automatically scaled
and populated. So if you update one tab, those changes do not automatically carry over to the other
versions. If you do update your graphics, you will have to manually re-start the overlay on each
channel for the changes to take effect.
Emergency Notification Console
The Emergency Notification Console allows a TV station administrator to grant key personnel (e.g. the
police department, the mayor’s office) the authority to compose a text ticker message that “crawls”
across the screen, overlaying any ongoing video programming, with no interference or access to the
rest of the broadcast server’s management interface. With this feature your town’s emergency
management team can reach your viewers quickly and directly. The emergency text message is typed
into an easy-to-use web interface.
1. First, an Admin has to Create an Emergency User:
• Go to Config –> Users to Create a new user
• Check the “Emergency” box under the user profile
• Save
2. Then the Admin has to Designate a ticker as your emergency line:
• See instructions on how to “create a ticker”
• Check the Emergency checkbox for the ticker style that you want to be used for emergencies
3. An Emergency User is now able to initiate an Emergency Ticker from the Emergency Console:
• Login as Emergency User
• Type the emergency message in the field
• Select whether the emergency ticker will run until manually stopped, or will stop at a specific
date and time
• Select one or more channels to display the emergency ticker
• Save
