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

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.

Tweets in real time on television

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.
