Content creation
Horse Tracker
Channel 4 in the United Kingdom provides a wide coverage of the horse race. For the most important race on the calendar, the Grand National, developed together with Civolution, Monterosa and TurfTrax Horse Tracker application. With small transmitters of data in the mantles of each horse and 80 receivers along the Racecourse, it has been possible to create an application for second screen that aligns the positions of horses, distances and speeds the transmission of live TV. The application for iOS was used by more than 100,000 people during the broadcast of the Grand National.
Radio production on iPad
In November 2013, Cumulus Radio provided facilities for more than 20 radio stations to cover the American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Each of them needs a cabin accommodating up to four people, with four microphones and headphones, controlled by a mixing desk connected to a mass of cables. So they all got to work and in collaboration with Axia Audio, Broadcast Software International and Telos designed a network of audio control remote that every radio station could control their own production in a mini iPad.
Monday Night Football
On the air since 1992, Monday Night Football on Sky Sports has become the most influential in United Kingdom sports program. More than that, has been the launching pad for a series of innovative technologies that appear on screen. For the season 2013/4 premiered a giant screen with virtual set in the dish. For this attractive new immersive look, Sky Sports worked with two technological partners which are normally competitors: ChyronHego and Vizrt.
Content management
PPD file-based workflows
In August 2013, Britains BT in the United Kingdom launched three sports TV channels, from a new production centre in the 2012 Olympic Park. BT Sport opted completely for a file-based workflow becoming the first broadcaster fully compatible with the file format Digital Production Partnership (DPP), also known as standard AMWA AS-11.
To manage intake file, reformatted and delivery to multiple platforms, the Integrator Timeline Television chose Dalet technology. As well as transcoding, the Dalet system also provides file and control broadcast quality. The result is an exchange of files without any problems using an open standard.

Allows that the content is accessible in suitable, from a Studio multi-camera HD to iPhone. The aim is always to get the content online, and in the air, as quickly as possible. In the year since the implementation of the project, TFO has increased its production by 40%, while reducing the cost of staff by 50%.
SkyNet
The construction of the Centre of Sky News Arabia ganouna position of luxury in the IBC Innovation Awards in 2012. Now, with nearly two dozen offices in the entire Middle East, the broadcaster has been aware that with some relatively modest additions to the technology, it could create a disaster recovery network through its own data center, SkyNet. Working with partners such as Blackmagic, Haivision, Nervi n, Vizrt and Zixi, has designed a platform accessible and controllable from any office via the public Internet.
Delivery of content
Tweets in real time on television
A study of digital television in India, Airtel, market showed that his public is very interested in reading what celebrities and sports stars are tweeting about popular TV shows when your favorite programs are broadcast. So Airtel set to work to introduce the tweets as an optional overlay on the TV screen.
The challenge was that this project had to work on existing set-top boxes, so there was no option for a return path. It had to be as easy to use as any other function STS, through the existing driver, without interfering with other functionality, such as channel change speed. Together with its technology partner BrizzTV Media Labs, Airtel launched this Twitter in real-time in six of its channels.
Media Factory

The challenges of huge transcodificacionson, but because peaks are perfectly suited to a solution in the cloud. When, in 2013, BBC Future Media asked to create a new "content factory" to satisfy the huge demand for iPlayer, worked with Amazon Web Services, as well as Atos, Codeshop, Elemental and Omnia, to create a system in the great cloud reach, flexible and secure for transcoding which ensure that the audience could access more content, better q
