Purpose

Digital Video Play is a reliable MPEG-2 player, especially designed to be the optimal solution for TV stations and for full screen presentations in shops and hotels. DVPlay software can make a list of MPEG files and is able to rearrange them continuously.

DVPTitle is a program that can create simple titles ONLINE which are mixed (overlapped) with the video picture from the player. You do not need to acquire ANY specialized PC hardware or mixer! For more information please read the article below.

Using DVPlay software and a middle-class PC you can build up an MPEG-2 playstation and make titles of high quality at incredibly low price in comparison to other similar solutions! As CPU power grows, now DVPlay 6 does not need a specialized hardware - all you need is a computer with Intel i3 3.00 GHz, 2 GB RAM and a video card that has interleaved signal such as Matrox or Blackmagic DeckLink with SDI output.

With the help of MyCommand module you can group some commands and they can be executed at once. You can also create a command template that can be used by the operator. You can set these commands to be executed in a schedule.

DVPTitle

DVPTitle is a program which allows you to create titles QUICKLY and EASILY and show them ONLINE. It can be used by the TV channels to create titles and show additional logos. In shops or hotels it can be used to show some offers or messages (advertisements).

DVPTitle consists of two modules - TitleDesign and TitlePlayer. These modules can work on one computer or on different computers. They are connected via LAN to one and the same database so when you create and save a title with TitleDesgin it is visible in TitlePlayer as well as available for playing.

With the help of DVPTitle you can show up to FOUR animated logos.

DVPTitle uses a regular desktop computer to design titles and execute them on Video Player. TitlePlayer uses the Video Player hardware so you do not need to buy any additional hardware or even mixer in order to show your titles!
