"We
started working with RTSW in 2007 when we replaced our virtual graphics
systems for the Rugby Super League during the move to HD. Their system
ticked all the boxes, not only handling the VR side but also
incorporating HD video in the virtual Jumbotron graphics."

"RTSW
provided us with 8 tOG-3D machines as our graphic system for BT
Vision's On-Demand coverage of the FAPL (EPL). I am delighted with the
high quality output we are able to give our subscribers and the great
reliability we can give our production staff."

"The
new tOG Sports product gives the sort of added value in match graphics
our customers want, and our investment in two systems has quickly
become an important revenue stream for us".

Virtual studio
Virtual studio are the most demanding area for real time graphics, and it is an area that tOG excels. We can render the most complex and effect rich sets possible on an IT based platform – and that is what really makes sets look good. In addition our software matte keyer offers superb quality and keeps deployment costs down. The fact that this quality is available on our low cost trackerless virtual studio solution is an added bonus.
"Setanta
sports Ireland decided to implement RTSW in our studio in Dublin in
August 2007. The reason for using VR sets was an easy one; we could
offer all of our programmes their own virtual set instead of building 8
or more hard sets.
RTSW were able to deliver on time even under
the pressure of our on air dates. We originally had 3 cameras with VR
and in December 2007 increased to 4 cameras, 2009 will see Setanta
install RTSW 3D software and install floor tracking giving Setanta
greater options on our camera shots in Studio.
Setanta studio
would often have a commercial break between programmes only allowing a
short turn around time to change sets this is only possible with the
RTSW software giving us stability and flexibility.
Since implementation to RTSW we have received continuous support and updates from the RND and support team at RTSW"

"RTSW

Entertainment and Interactive TV
Real time graphics are a vital part of the live entertainment and interactive TV sector. It is a sector that RT Software has many years of experience working with major players in both the Northern and Southern hemisphere. There is a requirement for the solution to be low cost, as it is often supplied as part of the format, as well as being feature rich requiring excellent graphics capability and the ability to handle complex live datasets and 3rd party control.
"Due to functional limitations and reliability issues we reviewed our CG strategy towards the end of 2007. We finally decided on tOG-3D after researching the whole market. tOG-3D provided a single, open, platform for 3D graphics and virtual studios. This allowed us to expand into VR sets from our current on screen graphics. It was also supplied by a company focussed on graphics and with good experience of our industry. We have implemented several new sets of exciting graphics which have pushed the envelope far beyond what we imagined and there has not been a single idea that we came up with that could not be implemented, and the systems have been 100% reliable on air."

"Cellcast required graphics systems that went way beyond traditional CG. To achieve easy and cost effective deployment and management we required a PC based platform that offered as much functionality as possible from a small footprint. tOG was ideal as it handled all of our 3D graphics requirements with ease, but also gave us the ability to play clips both within the scene and as full screen graphics, handled DVE moves and even audio. An additional was that it gave us a VR capability when needed".

"Our game shows make use of huge data sets, and tOG’s ability to work this data in real time means we can really personalise the graphics but within the constraints of low operating costs and automation. We initially chose tOG because of the quality of the graphics at an affordable cost, but soon realised we also had a product that was easy to implement, control, and manage."

"We moved to 3D graphics in 2008 and needed a product with good, local support – as well as flexibility and value for money. We chose tOG and it has been in daily use since then. We have done tests using it as a single camera virtual studio solution and were very impresses. We have elections in 2009 and are looking forward to significantly higher production values than were previously possible. In all, it has been a good choice."
