SurtitlePro - the European market leader in surtitle systems

SurtitlePro is the professional software for all kind of surtiteling in real time. It covers all professional needs and supports different hardware concepts.

Most important for a trouble free surtiteling is an effective program, based on the needs of theatres and opera houses. SurtitlePro is a special program which covers these special needs and is therefore the leading program in Europe.

The most important features are:

Very simple handling		Thanks to the clearly laid out and logical structure, even “non computer experts” immediately can operate the program.
Foreign language characters		Font characters of Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Greek and others are educible, so that also abroad surtitles can professionally be shown.
Panic function		In case of an asynchronism between performance and the surtitles there is a panic button, which slowly fades out the projected text. The operater synchronises again with the performance and fades in the text again. The audience itself will never realise this short termed problem.
High-resolution fonts		Lettering in high quality, professionally cut, is being used. Especially during dialogues the use of italicised, underlined and heavy letters is common.
Import of text files		Import of text programs like Word (txt) or other surtitle systems (sst, stp, tvl) is possible. Other import formats on request.
Different kind of fades		There are two choices of fades: X-fades (soft fades from one text to another) or V-fades (fade out of the old text and followed by fade in of the new one). Both are available in different speeds. This feature is being used as an aesthetic stylistic device.
Multilingual version		SurtitlePro can be programmed that different languages (for instance Italian and French) will be shown at the portal at the same time.
East editing of text		Even during rehersals the content of text or the  chronological order con be changed.

Monitor overview

SurtitlePro is available in 3 different versions:

SurtitlePro Standard		The complete software system with all features described as above.
SurtitlePro DMX		Same as the above SurtitlePro Standard plus executing the cues by DMX.
SurtitlePro Office		A low-priced version to be used on woring desks only, it is not suitable for projections. Text workout and speeds of fadings can be prepared and controlled at the office or home office and gives the real surtitle image during this preperations.

SIRIUS projectors E7 and E8

Sirius E8 with integrated text area limiter and programmed shutter

For high contrast reproduction of text a suitable projector with an enormous light output is necessary. SIRIUS projectors in addition possess characteristics, which match the demands of theatres and opera houses.

Programmable shutter
During parts without dialogue the built-in shutter from the SurtitlePro program can automatically be shut off. Then the remaining black light will be completely eliminated, which normally is still visible and distracting despite modern technology.

Limiter for text area
Slide bars are built in the optical path of the projector (also called cachers), to limit the picture to the relatively small area for the text. These cachers can be eliminated by the user. Then the projector can be used for normal video and data projection purposes.

Light output and optical System
SIRIUS E7 is a projector with 7000 ANSI Lumen light output, SIRIUS E8 has 12500 ANSI-Lumen. The lens sysand therefore the text can be shown without distortion even when the projection will be done from an odd angle.tems of both projectors are very flexible, the complete range from 0,8:1 to 10:1 can be used. The projectors also offer an optical shift system, which offers equalisation on all levels

SurtitleSeat

High resolution wide screens with a diagonal length of 7" (21 cm) are used. These will be build-in theatre seats. The integration in the individual seats and the design of the casing will be coordinated beforehand. Of course, the monitor systems can be integrated in new theatre seats before these will be build-in. Already existing seats can be retrofitted.

SurtitleSeat monitors do not need any fans and therefore they are completely silent. The used LCD technology guarantees a flicker free and clear picture and is protected against burn-in.

With this new medium visitors can be given additional information - i.e. advertisement. Integration of the LCD screens into existing emergency warning systems is possible without problems.

In the version “SurtitleSeat Multi” visitor can choose surtitles between four different languages simply by pressing a button.
