How does it work?
WeatherNation is the first weather studio conceived and constructed, from the ground up, to take full advantage of the power of the Internet. Video content is recorded in HD and then instantly converted into dozens of formats, from AVI and quicktime to MPEG2, .MOV and cellular formats. These custom files are stored in a password-protected folder and transmitted in real-time, via FTP protocol, to your media servers for instant use on-air or on-line. You choose the length of the video feeds and the content. What do your viewers want to see? Everything from air travel updates to boat and beach reports to severe weather overviews to metropolitan-level, television-ready weather forecasts are available, with the unique look you're trying to achieve. Professional, television-quality graphics are supplemented with cutting-edge weather software from multiple sources: 2-D, live Doppler from 155 NWS sites nationwide, a new, revolutionary 3-D Doppler display that allows viewers to peer inside a severe thunderstorm, searching for the rotation signatures associated with straight-line winds and tornadoes, to Google Earth Pro, which displays 3-D perspectives, complete with stunning city skylines for the ultimate differentiated look you're trying to achieve. WeatherNation producers and meteorologists will work with your staff to design and deliver the talent, technology and reliability you need to serve your viewers. Read more...
