1. Introduction
TELOP BOX is a Broadcast Graphics system being developed with the concept to “respect
comments from users, and make it easy to use and simple”.
Diverse types of Broadcast Graphics, such as character, still image, animation, texture movie, and
3D, can be produced quickly, and Broadcast Graphics can be rearranged, checked, corrected, and
even outputted all with TELOP BOX.
This textbook was created to help you understand the steps of the operation with the aim to help
you want to “just start!” from simple drawing and rearrangement of schedule all the way to output.
Before we start the actual operation, let’s learn “how TELOP BOX works” in the following order:
○ What type of Broadcast Graphics TELOP BOX can broadcast
○ How the structure/system of TELOP BOX is composed
○ Where to save Broadcast Graphics
○ Steps to broadcast Broadcast Graphics
Once we have learned the above, let’s begin to learn how to use TELOP BOX by actually using
Schedule Registration Software, Broadcast Graphics Production Software, and Output Software.
For introduction of detailed function of each Software, please refer to each manual.

2. Type Of Broadcast Graphics You Can Produce with
TELOP BOX
TELOP BOX lets you produce diverse type of Broadcast Graphics not only with character and still
image, but with effect, such as Wipe and Roll, and even with Animation and 3D. We will first
introduce you to the type of Broadcast Graphics you can produce with TELOP BOX.
2.1. Still Image
You can produce Broadcast Graphics with character, rectangle, and the like. TELOP BOX lets you
place not only character and image, but variety of figures (called object) such as square, circle,
polygon, free curve, and so on.
2.2. Full CG
In addition to superimposed (partial) Broadcast Graphics with character and so forth, you can also
produce full CG (whole surface) Broadcast Graphics by setting background.
2.3. 2D Effect
2D effect, such as Roll and Wipe, can be applied to Broadcast Graphics produced.
2.4. Long Roll
Long Roll used for Staff Roll and to introduce cast’s profile etc. can be produced.

2.5. Custom Slide
You can use Custom Slide (custom effect) which lets you specify rectangle area with Broadcast
Graphics Production Software, and apply effect to it, such as Wipe, and then to output.
2.6. Animation
One point animation, such as [☆] mark rotating or mark on a map blinking, can be placed in
screen. For the animation, you will need to prepare serial number TGA or serial number TIFF file
prepared by other software.
Depending on the environment, long animation and animation with large screen size may
require waiting time before playing.
2.7. Layer Effect
TELOP BOX is capable of Layer effect which lets you split one Broadcast Graphics into several
layers, and to place character and background on separate layer, and then, to output with different
effects.
2.8. Real 3D
You can produce stereoscopic Broadcast Graphics by giving depth to Broadcast Graphics with 3
dimensional movement and to such objects like character and rectangles.

3. Where to Save Broadcast Graphics Files
Broadcast Graphics produced by TELOP BOX can be saved and managed per Program.
Users create folder with up to two layers (Program folder and Broadcast folder) and Broadcast
Graphics is saved in the folder.
3.1. File Structure
TELOP BOX has folder/file structure as follow:
○Database
When you want to produce Broadcast Graphics independently for Production type Program and
News type Program, Database can be separated. The default Database at bootup is already set
by system preference file (internal setting file), but it is possible to change with each Software.
○Program
The folder to create under Database is call “Program”. Program can be created with any title. Also,
there is no limit to the number of Programs.
○Broadcast
In a Program folder you create folder call “Broadcast”. Broadcast can be created with any title. For
example, if it is a Program that airs everyday you can create by the day of the week, such as
“Monday”, “Tuesday”. If the broadcast date is fixed you can title it “January 1st 2017”. You can title
freely.
○Item
In a Broadcast folder, folder call [Item (segment)] is created automatically.
First Step Guide

11
In each Broadcast there are 100 Items prepared. For example, you can create segment such as
[Opening] [Weather] [Feature] as Item and save their Broadcast Graphics in each.
Item title can be changed freely and the order can be rearranged. They will output in the order
rearranged.
○Broadcast Graphics
You can produce Broadcast Graphics inside Item. Rearrangement and such are done with
Schedule Registration Software. Each Item can save 100 Broadcast Graphics.

4. Steps To On-Air Broadcast Graphics
TELOP BOX includes diverse Software to enable production, rearrangement, and output in variety
of ways to accommodate each user need. We will introduce you to TELOP BOX Software
commonly used and to their role according to timeline from when Broadcast Graphics is produced to
its output.
Within the frame, such as “Broadcast Graphics Production”, are Software titles.
TELOP BOX can be divided into 4 parts: “Draw” part where Broadcast Graphics are mainly
produced; “Rearrange” part where Broadcast Graphics are rearranged; “Check/Correct” part where
character, their order, and effect of Broadcast Graphics are checked; and “Output” part where
videos are outputted.
4.1. Broadcast Graphics Production Software
This is Software to produce Broadcast Graphics. In addition to character and still image, it can
also draw figures such as triangle and rectangle. Effects, such as Roll and Wipe, as well as
production with timeline, such as Layer and Real 3D, can also be set with this Software.
Who is this mainly for who produce Broadcast Graphics, who want to correct character

4.2. Schedule Registration Software
This Software lets you to create new Program; check Broadcast Graphics saved in Program;
rearrange; change effect, and so on. You can check video, 3D and other effects in Preview window
of PC.
Who is this mainly for who produce Program, who handles detail setting such as changing effect
4.3. Output Software
his is the Software which retrieves Program produced with Schedule Registration Software. It
creates video and controls the board. This Software alone can handle retrieval of Program to its
output.
Who is this mainly for master, who does output operation in editing room

4.4. Steps Of Operation
Actual operation from Broadcast Graphics production to its broadcast is as follow. Program is
newly produced with “Schedule Registration Software”, and Broadcast Graphics is produced within
Program with “Broadcast Graphics Production Software”. Saved Broadcast Graphics are
rearranged with “Schedule Registration Software” in their broadcast order. Then “Output Software”
is used to broadcast.
This is the overview of TELOP BOX. From the next chapter, let’s actually produce Broadcast
Graphics, and output.
