Studio systems
Whatever your station uses, the signer goes in the same way as any other graphic: as a web page with a see-through background, or as a video.

The overlay page
A web page that shows only the signer, on a see-through background, sized for a corner of the screen. It signs your live session or a queue of texts as they arrive, and wears your station's colours. Your graphics system shows it like any other web graphic.
Being finished now
The overlay page and transparent-background videos are in their final stages. Broadcasters on a pilot get them first, set up with their engineers.
If your system can't show web pages
A video feed of the signer (NDI or SRT), for systems without a web graphics input, is planned. Tell us when you plan your pilot if you need it.
