Sports

From humble beginnings, sports graphics have evolved to become a huge market sector. With channels now often dedictated to sports it follows that graphics are crucial to channel branding. In addition there is a requirement to provide added value graphics such as sponsership or tied to pitch VR graphics.

Why RT Software

Sports graphics is a comfort zone for us. We have many years of experience and have enjoyed the benefits of working closely with household names such as Sky, ESPN and the BBC. In addition, our backgrond of working with large election data sets and data feeds means our core platform (tOG) is ideally suited for the emergence of data feed and database driven graphics.

What Benefits Does RT Software Provide

Too many to mention here, so take a look at our downloadable "Guide to Sports Graphics". Of course, our cost effectiveness is at the top of the list, alongside the fact that we allow you to go to air with the very best looking graphics possible. Also, if we take a look at a typical OB environment then we offer huge advantages over our competition:
- Small hardware footprint as one PC handles everything. Render, playout control even a full preview.
- This PC can be repurposed with a dongle change, so scores and clocks one weekend, an away day VR studio the next!
- When doing specials such as tied to pitch graphics, we include software and hardware keyers, maximising simplicity and minimising footprint.

“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.”
