Elections

Local, National and International election programmes push the boundaries of broadcast graphics. With a myriad of statistical information pouring in and the need for analysis to accompany that information.

Why RT Software

tOG-3D was originally developed for the BBC by RTSoftware. It has been an award-winning suite of products ever since.  tOG-3D was conceived and engineered from the ground up to cope with the heavy and stringent demands made on a studio during election night coverage.

What Benefits Does RT Software Provide

tOG-3D provides easy integration with results feeds and charting tools can be used to deliver best analysis to the audience.  Play-out can easily be controlled by a presenter.  Tickers and crawls can be used to supplement the live action and commentary. tOG has the ability to handle large and complex models efficiently.

The product can be bought outright or provided as part of a short term rental. The rental and services contract includes equipment - such as heads and cranes - to create a virtual studio right out of the box.

"Having worked for many years at the BBC
presenting flagship Election and News
programs, I was constantly astounded by
the ground breaking and innovative systems
the founders of RT Software produced.
Whenever a problem arose which looked
insoluble, they solved it, however long it took. 
I cannot speak too highly of them. Some of
the techniques they developed have gone on
to become industry standards. They enabled
the BBC to present complex news stories in
an exciting and accessible way."
