MTV MEDIA Finland Launches Social TV Using Orad and Astucemedia 01 Mar 2013
Orad and Astucemedia, leading providers of of broadcast graphics solutions and services, announced today that MTV MEDIA Finland is using the Orad/Astucemedia platform to integrate social media networks for the broadcaster's new Social TV Channel AVA. Operating out of Helsinki, Finland, AVA leverages social media to create viewer-driven channel branding as promised in the tagline of the AVA channel: Let's Create Together (Luodaan yhdess). The new Social TV broadcast workflow is facilitated by Orad 3Designer and Orad 3DPlay integrated with the Astucemedia Data Platform. MTV MEDIA uses Orad for graphics playout and Astucemedia Data Platform to moderate, manage data for channel bugs, headlines, uploaded pictures, tag lines, tweets, and likes with data from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets, creating a viewer-driven channel branding. It was imperative for us that the end product have a dynamic, always updated, viewer-driven feeling, from the channel logo to pictures during commercial breaks, etc. The combination of Astucemedia Data Platform and Orad's 3DPlay and 3Designer made it possible. Tuomo Kulomaa, Head of Promotion for MTV MEDIA, a division of Bonnier AS.
AVA viewers participate in the channel's Social TV broadcast experience by submitting personal photos, Twitter Tweets, Facebook Likes and posts in response to weekly themes, such as my favorite shoes, a moment in a dog's life, baking breads, and home decor. In addition to other created together contributions that enrich AVA's live broadcasts and website (http://avatv.fi), viewers can design and submit original logos, comment on TV shows, share recipes and stories.In light of the paradigm shift from an analog to a digital media world, we decided to relaunch AVA as a 21st Century channel that is shaped and influenced by content generated by the social media community, said Tuomo Kulomaa.
The AVA re-launch also features a fresh, contemporary graphics packageincluding channel bugs, live squeezes, promos, and branding and topic-of-the-week elementsand realtime, data-driven templates designed by Astucemedia's creative services group. The extensive AVA channel rebranding required Astucemedia to seamlessly integrate its data platform with the existing Orad broadcast graphics infrastructure; Orad 3Designer design software, 3Dplay graphics playout controller, and HDVG HD/SD rendering engine and Harris ADC-100 automation.
Our Astucemedia Data Platform streamlines the data integration process and reduces operational overhead at broadcast facilities by automating wherever possible, said Thomas Desmeules, director of research and development for Astucemedia. The AVA staff can use the Astucemedia Data Platform to schedule weekly themes, promote select Twitter hash-tags and Facebook pages people should use, as well as review and modify viewer submissions for air, said Desmeules. Our data platform also filters voluminous tweets and posts to weed out inappropriate messages and highlight the best choices AVA staffers can air.
