Cypress, CA, April 23, 2019 The newly launched Spanish-language Hipica TV (TSG Network) selected Envivo Replay from Variant Systems as the heart of its production system. The daily live show features races, replays and offers handicapping selections on races from The Stronach Group-owned (TSG) Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park, Laurel Park, Golden Gate Fields, and Pimlico Race Course. The horse race programming is available every day at GulfstreamPark.com and youtube.com/HipicaTV.

The HD broadcast is independent of its English broadcast with separate producers, directors, cameras, on-air talent, race caller and now replay using Envivo Replay. Envivo Replay is being used to capture all TSG tracks to archive the days races, create race re-caps, and upload Spanish content to social media.

"For us, it was critical to archive each race track simultaneously and provide quick re-caps," said Guillermo Burgos, Vice President & Executive Producer at Sellitto Video Systems (SVS). SVS produces the live broadcast for both Gulfstream Park simulcast and Hipica TV. SVS also manages all A/V requirements at Gulfstream Park. " It was so easy to archive all the race tracks in the Envivo system. The only thing we spent time learning was the sequence that would work best for the production team. The system is very intuitive and smart. And the companys technical support is top notch. Weve been very impressed so far with Envivo."

In addition to race replays and highlights, the Hipica TV team is taking advantage of Envivo Replays built-in social media interface. This capability allows Gulfstream to streamline their social media postings of individual race highlights and race day summaries.

"One huge plus Envivo had was its social media upload extension tool. There was no learning curve at all, added Burgos. There are a lot of components in our control room. With the Envivo replay system, our team can easily save clips from our different race tracks, make playback recaps and upload to social media content faster than any other tool weve ever seen. It is simply amazing how fast we can load content to social media, which for us, is a must."

"We are delighted that Guillermo and his team selected Envivo Replay to cover race replays, highlights and social media clips for their Spanish broadcasts," said Adolfo Rodriguez, Variant Systems Group Co-Founder and CEO. "Its fantastic to see how the capabilities of Envivo Replay are enabling Hipica TV to streamline their workflow."

During its first month on GulfstreamPark.com and LaurelPark.com in March of this year, Hipica TV reached an average of 76,000 unique viewers each week and nearly 800,000 total views. Along with live races, Hipica TV will include live interviews, feature stories, and insights from its four anchors.
