TriVis Stratus

TriVis Stratus offers great value at a very affordable price level.

Furthermore, the field output of numerical weather prediction models can be visualised in an appealing and easy to understand manner. It offers a complete feature set for weather forecasts with perfect image quality at entry-level price. This allows professional market leading weather graphics in a stable and flexible software solution. It supports the export of digital movies as well as live broadcast video signal output. The upgrade path is prepared to higher feature levels with the same software environment.

TriVis Cumulus contains all of the complete feature set that you find in TriVis Stratus and in addition includes further graphics and video options. These include the TriPlayPRO option for high definition live video output as well as JobControl to automatically run remotely controlled TriVis batch jobs. Also fronts (warm fronts, cold fronts, occlusions) can be manually added and animated with key-frames. TriVis Cumulus also offers stunning streamline wind animations of vector data from numerical weather forecast models.

TriVis Cirrus 2D

TriVis Cirrus 2D is the most advanced two-dimensional TriVis product. In addition to the feature set as of TriVis Cumulus, the user can add statistical tables, line graphs, and bar charts as well as animated air-mass advection arrows and also interactively highlight warning areas by simply clicking them onto the map.

This product package offers the full range of features available in TriVis for the high-end two- and three-dimensional visualisation.

TriVis WeatherReal

The digitalisation of the TV networks has made it both easy and inexpensive to produce TV programmes. Weather-related content is interesting for many new players. However, in many cases it is not an option to operate a weather graphics solution on-site at the broadcaster including the necessary meteorological staff. Instead, the attractive and accurate TriVis graphics needs to be delivered as content ready for broadcasting. For these cases, SMHI from the TriVis Weather Graphix Group has therefore developed WeatherReal, a product, which is a tailor-made weather show for each customer. Focusing on the customer?s area of interest, local, regional, domestic, or international, SMHI creates tailor-made weather presentations with TriVis. WeatherReal is ready to broadcast on TV or on the Web. It attracts viewers and advertisers alike. Thus the gain is two-fold: more viewers and increased attraction for advertisers at every TV channel supplied by WeatherReal.
