Max Weather enables anyone to create and distribute stunning visuals for every platform in a fast,
no-render environment. One simple user interface saves time and eliminates the need to learn several
different applications. Content created for broadcast is easily formatted and pushed to other platforms.
Max Sky, new this year - brings real-world visualizations to the weather office that your audience
will not forget. Driven by RPM data, Max Sky allows
your talent to produce hyper-local forecasts whether
it’s downtown or by the shore. From the atmosphere to
our ‘night look’, WSI’s approach is unmatched in the industry.
Max Studio allows your talent to stay in front of the
chromakey especially when weather breaks. New features added to Max Studio allows you to incorporate
an unlimited amount of viewer’s social posts through
Max Social Interactive. Interactive Live Lineups provide a more flexible way to present content, especially during breaking weather.
Max One turns on-air hits into digital video for other
media platforms with the click of a button. The Max
One recording feature allows you to quickly produce
a hit for the web and/or mobile devices, keeping your
viewers engaged and informed everywhere.
