Orad Hi-Tec Systems Limited, a world leading provider of on-air graphic systems, today announced that it will be providing RDS Canada with its unique HD/SD First Down Line (FDL) football enhancement solution, TrackVision. The solution will be used for the entire 2008 Canadian Football League (CFL) season.

RDS, Canada's French language sports broadcaster, chose Orad's FDL solution because of its unique new enhancements and features, including automatic calculation and display of tied-to-the-field down numbers as well as yards to go, scores, teams, and sponsor logos.
Orad's FDL system is HD/SD switchable, extremely easy to operate, and can be used from the OB van as well as from the studio.

RDS will also benefit from FDL's automatic detection of the camera setup, enabling faster operation in the studio environment, quick adjustment for line width and opacity, specific game folders to save different venues' settings, and field crown adjustment capabilities for accurate first down line display.

"We are very pleased once again this year to have Orad's FDL system for all our CFL games broadcast on RDS for the upcoming season, and we look forward to working with Orad for many more years on both the CFL and other productions," said Domenic Vannelli, vice president of production for RDS Canada.
