Omni Weather Platform Broadcast in HD
Weather technology company Baron Services' Omni weather platform has been installed at Fox O&O WOFL Orlando, Fla. Premiering in its second top 20-market, this is the first time Omni has been broadcast in high definition.
"Proven site-specific data, global-to-local zooms, HD weather flights and 3-D animations differentiate Omni from all other weather tools on the market today," said Bob Baron, president-CEO of Baron Services.
Omni combines true-outlook weather analysis, worldwide 3-D terrain and high-resolution data, blending 3-D terrain and superimposed mapping results in a relevant, accurate localized picture of the weather as it is actually occurring, according to Omni. The weather platform also contains patented high-definition data products, aerial mapping, nationwide and worldwide topography, ocean depth mapping, political boundaries, an earth halo effect and more in a completely renderless environment.
"The Omni weather system gives our weather team the ability to show pinpoint weather forecasts in a graphically seamless manner," said Glenn Richards, WOFL chief meteorologist. "In addition, we can now incorporate viewers' weather videos and pictures into our forecasts to present even more hyper-local weather information."
