Data Types

Weatherscape XT can ingest and display many types of weather data from multiple sources. The weather data are continuously received and stored in Weatherscape XT's database

Once stored, the data is immediately available to Weatherscape XTs real-time graphics engine. Scenes pre-configured using the authoring tools are immediately populated with the latest data when they are opened and are available for immediate playout.
