Radio Canada (Television) will use Kaydara Online 3.5 to integrate 3D character animation and live video in real time for its new TV game show, WIZZ. Kaydara Online will allow the show's two 3D characters, Bo and Pixel, to interact with the host and contestants in real time and to serve as virtual game pieces as they move through WIZZville's animated game board.
Online 3.5 is a Windows-based turnkey 3D production system that allows broadcasters to add 3D characters to their live-to-air and live-to-tape productions. Uses include creating virtual hosts and animated logos. Features include support for broadcast-quality SDI video, professional audio I/O and state-of-the-art lip synchronization for real-time phoneme recognition and live controls over characters' facial expressions and movements.
