Abstract: Computer graphics have been used since 1974 at Independent Television News (ITN). ITN provides national and international news for the commercial channel of British television. In 1980 a new graphics generator, VT80, developed and built by ITN, was introduced. It is now used regularly in daily bulletins and special programs covering major events such as elections. The device produces high-quality graphics virtually indistinguishable from those produced in conventional ways, and incorporates a number of unique features which make its programming flexible and easy. The paper describes these principle features and gives examples of VT80's use.
