Juli 2007 Irish pay-TV broadcaster Setanta Sports will begin broadcasting select English Premiership football matches later this year, in direct competition with incumbent broadcaster Sky Sports. To optimize its coverage, Setanta intends to play back any incident from the perfect angle and to revolutionize game analysis. Setanta appointed Alston Elliot to design templates and manage its graphics output. The southern England-based firm designs and supplies on-air graphics to a variety of broadcasters for snooker, rugby and association football but is primarily known for innovating cricket packages for Sky Sports and M-Net in South Africa. The company operates 60 Vizrt licenses for playout, with three installed in each of five mobile units. The firm has devised its own software to run its templates and interface with an input and logging software. For Sky Sports cricket, for example, the company supplies a graphics van to the main OB supplier, usually CTV. An Alston Elliot-trained operator will sit alongside the commentary position and manually input data, such as direction of runs and shot type, and update the score. In conjunction with the OB director, the operator will suggest or select graphics or captions at various stages in play. Clearly, getting a statistic wrong would constitute a serious error. For darts coverage, the scoring is even faster and mathematically more complex, so the operator's job is even more pressured. Quelle |
