Be the leader in severe weather reporting in your DMA. When severe weather threatens, call on Galileo to deliver the meaningful, timely information that will take your broadcast to the next level. The leader in rendering speed, Galileo is many times faster, easier to use, and more reliable than competing SGI-based systems. That means your meteorologist can create compelling animations or even update the entire weather show during a commercial break.



Galileo gives your meteorologists complete control to explain the weather as never before possible, unhampered by the complexity found in SGI/UNIX systems. Instead, Galileo is extremely easy to operate and maintain because its PC platform features the world's most widely-used operating environment. In short, Galileo is simple enough for your entire weather team to easily learn and use, so all your weather presentations have the same great look. Galileo's commitment to operating ease can also be found in its powerful tools, including the ability to automatically and continually update all elements in your show timeline.

Galileo assures a favorable return on investment with an architecture designed to meet your station's technical requirements for years to come. By leveraging the manufacturing economies and modular structure of today's WINTEL PC server systems, Galileo puts enormous processing power into a small package while offering room for future growth. Indeed, Galileo can be configured today for HD output!

When configured for HD production, the full graphics feature set of the Galileo system is output in the broadcast industry's standard 1080i format, ready for routing to a station's existing HD encoder. For stations supporting both SD and HD operations, the Galileo system also simultaneously provides traditional SD output while operating in HD mode. Best of all, Galileo's powerful architecture requires no additional rendering time to deliver its highly-sophisticated graphics in HD format.



Galileo's full suite of graphics - including its compelling animations within animations™ - can be output in HD. That makes Galileo a safe investment today, and into the future when HD becomes a requirement.

Designed with the assistance of experienced General Managers, News Directors, Chief Engineers, and Chief Meteorologists, Galileo gives you the tools you need to attract and retain viewers. Best of all, Galileo is ready for immediate delivery. Call 800-566-6606 or email info@accuwx.com for more information.
