Pinnacle Systems DekoMOS User’s Guide 9
Chapter 1: Welcome to DekoMOS
DekoMOS tightly integrates Pinnacle Systems’ Deko line of character generators with your
Newsroom Computer System.
During script creation, you can preview and select graphics from the DekoMOS Browser within
the Newsroom Computer System. Journalists can also add text, stills, or clips to a graphic
template and preview exactly how each graphic will air.
In the control room, the Playback Controller controls up to nine channels of Deko. Effects and
clips are embedded in Deko templates so that the graphics air just as the art department intended.
With DekoMOS, you can easily manage multiple graphic looks to support different shows or
channel branding.
In this chapter, you will find:
• An introduction to DekoMOS and what it does
• An overview of how DekoMOS works in the newsroom environment
• A summary of new features
• How to use this manual
