About Us

RT Software is a provider of innovative and industry leading broadcast graphics solutions to clients around the world. Evolving from the BBC 3D Graphics Department in 2004, RT Software now has installations from Iceland to New Zealand and Canada to Chile. Its customer base includes some of the biggest names in broadcasting: BBC, Sky, NBC, TNT Sports and many other tier 1 and national broadcasters.

 

The company’s roots at the BBC saw our first generation software used on many news programmes and high profile specials such as elections, budgets and the launch of BBC News 24.

Our product range has expanded substantially since then, and our global deployments now include:

  • Virtual studios and augmented reality
  • Sports analysis and telestration
  • Newsroom graphics
  • Channel branding graphics overlays
  • Embeddable graphics libraries for OEMs

Since our inception, RT Software has led the way with industry firsts such as per-pixel lighting, shader frameworks and improved render techniques such as PBR. We were also early adopters of NVidia grid, to adopt customers requiring virtualised systems. Having started with SDI, we quickly adopted NDI for video over IP, and then also uncompressed IP when the video standards for ST2110 were available.

Beyond having a really capable graphics render engine, it is essential to make life easy for operators and to integrate within larger broadcast infrastructure. By adopting HTML5 user interfaces, our systems are easy to deploy and reduced installation costs. We always keep a tight focus on value for our customers. We will rarely be beaten on price.

Our product pricing has adapted to offer the flexibility of permanent or subscription licencing. Customer satisfaction is assured with a full range of support and services to ensure successful deployment and maximum return on investment. Market coverage is enhanced with a global network of Value Added Resellers to assist with local supply and deployment.

Based in between Putney and Chelsea in London, we are conveniently located for customers to visit our demo centre, where the full range of products are available to view by appointment. The demo area features a full green-screen backdrop and a choice of tracking technologies. Our in-house creative team can work with customers to produce customised templates and provide training on the use of our systems.

You can select RT Software with full confidence as our graphics are proven in use 24/7 on critical programmes with many of the top broadcasters around the world. This includes the BBC, SKY (UK, Australia, New Zealand), NBC, TNT Sports, Fox, Bell Media, TRT, ERT, SABC and many more.
