The International Year of Astronomy will be a celebration of astronomy. Planetariums will definitely be one of the major vehicles used to transmit its message. The digital technology that is now becoming available to planetariums will bring an enormous change to how planetariums work and to the possibilities and impact of the message they transmit. The Espinho Planetarium, managed by the Navegar Foundation, has been dedicating its efforts to different areas of digital planetariums, including content creation and the development of software tools. In particular we would like to present two tools that have been developed recently for pre-rendered content production. We would like also to present a new tool, dedicated to test content under production and to perform real-time presentation of shows in the planetarium, integrating real-time sky simulations and the display of pre-rendered content.
