Thats interesting... because i couldve sworn in a monitor i saw behind Jim earlier the Titan source was on it :unsure:
Both of the computers I saw today behind Cantore had windows on it. Plus, the keyboard that is below the touch screen controls the computer to the left, which he was advancing the Tru Vu radar on. They are using Titan in the HD studio @ the greenscreen, probably b/c they haven't upgraded those workstations yet. Earlier I saw a monitor on the side desk, looks like they're working on it now.

I didnt say it was a computer in use, but what I meant was a monitor behind him that was inactive, and I wasnt talking about the HD studio chromas in my earlier post either ;)

Ah, well the computer on the right usually is running vizrt and the one on the left is running WSI be it Titan or Max. Sorry about that.

The new maps are just beautiful. :D They also have smoother motion than the older ones. The new titlebars are good, but not great. Even then, they are easier to read than the old tiny titlebars.

The 3D studio is being used for the 60 second forecast now.

Well, that's a disappointment. The new graphics haven't made it to YWT.

May be a gradual roll out. The AM crew might not be trained on TruVu yet.

I like the design of the title bars, although they don't match with the rest of the maps. :unsure:

Another Video of the New Graphic from The Weather Channel

And

Weather Channel - Tru Vu - Graphics


That second video, y'all do realize that they recycled the old WC music, right? Because I heard it once in person. It's a miracle It's amazing that they decided to use the music again.

No. There really aren't new graphics, just a new radar system.

Just a radar system? HA, no. Tru Vu Max is graphics too, but I seriously doubt you'll see them on the LF. They are still using Titan in the studio, which I don't know why unless their working on upgrading the computers. It would be great to see this design on the intellistar, since its so outdated. Anyone notice that in the Expert Desk, the 30" monitor to the left is now gone? Now they have a smaller monitor that looks like Dells latest Design. I think this is because Tru Vu Max required a certain resolution, or so I've read.

Would any of you be kind enough to upload a high resolution picture/screencap of the new title bars? :worship: I'd like to design then, and I'll release them so all of you could use them if wanted. Thanks.
BTW: Anyone notice that the new title bars look very similar to the ones used on the Today Show weather? I did.

You said what I basically wanted to say. I think the new maps and radar are fabulous, including the new 7-day outlook.
