Visitors to the IBC show will be able to see live demonstrations of augmented reality graphics, best in class sports analysis graphics / telestration, newsroom NRCS integration and simple to use overlays for studios and playout automation.
Tactic v7.0 Telestration – New Release
Making its debut will be Tactic v7.0, RT Software’s best in class, sports analysis telestrator. Tactic has already impressed users with its AI enhancements. These features let users accelerate the production of stunning analysis sequences for post match shows. By offering AI features, Tactic greatly increases the accuracy of the graphics, and improves the quality of broadcaster’s output.
Tactic v7.0 new AI feature is ‘AI Player Drag and Infill’. This AI upgrade of a previously manual process lets users drag a player across the pitch to illustrate the pros and cons of alternative positions. The AI take over the tedious task of filling in the empty space by automatically adding a convincing simulated background. It is much quicker than doing this by hand. This new feature builds on the proven success of AI Automatic Pitch Calibration and AI Player Tracking.
Tactic lets broadcasters achieve results in a fraction of the time of competing products that use manual processes. This time saving lets the users deliver much more insightful analysis sequences – we call this Next Gen Analysis.
Live Augmented Reality Graphics Demo
Have you ever wondered how high speed international yacht racing adds live AR graphics to their coverage, via helicopter, from a base in London? Come and watch the live AR demonstration on the RT Software stand. Discuss the challenges of signal latency for live graphics and international remote production with the RT Software experts.
Included in the AR demonstration on the stand will be Canon’s latest CR-N500 PTZ camera which will deliver the live feeds into the graphics engine. Speak to our team if you would like to discuss any project challenges you may have with synchronisation between cameras and graphics engines.
Swift CG
Swift CG and Swift CG+ graphics editors are the foundation for all of RT Software’s solutions, whether for News, Sports, Entertainment or Channel Branding. Visitors will be able to trial an advanced preview of the new web front end being developed for Swift CG.
This builds on the success of the live production tool, Swift Live, typically used in studio environments to trigger live graphics to air. Swift Live will also be running to let visitors understand how its flexible interface can make controlling live show graphics easier for gallery operators.
Cloud and Partner Platforms
RT Software is demonstrating its commitment to interoperability with other vendors by participating in 2 demonstrations on other vendor’s stands.
Matrox Origin was winner of 3 awards at NAB 2023 for its cloud native, asynchronous media framework which allows businesses to build their own live production platforms, on premise or in the cloud. RT Software is supporting this demonstration by providing its Swift graphics engine to provide the graphic elements for the demonstrations running on Matrox’s stand.
GV AMPP was also a previous winner at NAB for its cloud production platform, and will be demonstrating interoperability between its partners in the AMPP Alliance area. RT Software will once again be showing its proven Swift Engine delivering broadcast graphics as part of an entire broadcast chain in the cloud.
