Trans Gulf Media is an established broadcast solutions provider for the Middle East market. Saudi TV wanted to raise its game for its coverage of the 2014 King Cup football tournament and chose TGM as producers using products and services from RT Software. A production crew with staff from both companies provided innovative hi-tech graphics solutions that included giant touchscreens, an interactive ‘touch table’ and augmented reality graphics on the studio floor. Against a tight schedule stunning results were achieved.

RT Software’s solution has really improved our content and storytelling and enabled us to deliver new and exclusive information to our viewers. Graphics form a vital part of our coverage, it means we can display clear and comprehensive to the audience, and from a marketing perspective it really strengthens our offering and takes ESPN technology to the next level.

We used tOG-Sports for our coverage of Curling at the Sochi Winter Olympics, curling has specific graphic requirements which have been met by tOG Sports. The product aids the Talents’ commentary, in particular their ability to explain the mechanics of the sport to the viewer

Having a system that was quick and easy to rig on race days was critical, we only have a few hours to rig so the fact that the tOG system can be fully operational so swiftly helps take the pressure off.

The virtual graphics we debuted at the Cheltenham Gold Cup was one of a number of new additions to our programming which looks set to deliver the best viewing experience yet for our audience throughout the rest of the season and beyond

We really wanted to push the creative boundaries with our UEFA Champions League coverage and the RT Software solution stood out because of the quality of the rendering – essentially what you see on the screen looks fantastic. RT Software has a desire to do graphics better than anyone else and a solid history of innovation around that. They are the perfect match for us, both technically and culturally

Not only were we impressed with the way tOG-VR was able to render such complex and realistic scenes, but also by the support given by RT Software’s creative team in the design and implementation. With the design done at RT Software, all that was required was a two day visit to ERR from one of their team and we were confident enough to go to air the following week

We are impressed with the speed in which RT Software used our new protocol and the new way of calibrating the lens. It enabled the creative guys to focus all of their energy into creating the effects and not having to worry on locking the graphics to the floor. No one had to mention the tracking which made us very happy. Thumbs up to RT software experts for a quick support of our newest development

When we moved to 3D graphics, we needed a product with good, local support – as well as flexibility and value for money. We chose tOG-3d 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 impressed. In all, it has been a good choice

We first started working with RT Software in 2007 when we replaced our virtual graphics systems for the Rugby Super League during the move to HD and have continued our relationship ever since and expanded it to other sports. Their system ticked all the boxes, not only handling the VR side but also incorporating HD video in the virtual Jumbotron graphics

tOG-Sports Pro has improved the service we offer to our licensees’ viewers. The system allows us to utilise the professional knowledge and experience of our studio guests and provide a new and more in depth analysis of the Barclays Premier League

When Setanta sports Ireland decided to implement VR in our studio in Dublin, the decision 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.
Setanta studios would often have a commercial break between programmes, only allowing a short turn-around time to change sets. This was only possible with RT Software’s tOG-VR software giving us the stability and flexibility we required. Since implementation, we have received continuous support and updates from the Services teams at RT Software.

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-3d 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. It gave us a VR capability when needed

It’s a great pleasure to be associated with RT’s powerful software. The emergence of virtual broadcasting is beginning to rapidly take centre stage across the world, with many networks now seeking out new ways in which to rapidly deploy not only a superior quality of graphics but a more challenging visualisation of VR/AR. With the combination of RT Software’s capabilities backed up by a wealth of experience and Ncam’s advanced tracking capabilities, boundaries are being pushed to higher levels. This means the delivery of quality graphics in new innovative ways and it’s a pleasure to achieve this with such a key player in the industry as RT Software

AMP VISUAL TV provides services throughout the live production processes with at its disposal one of the largest fleets of OB vans in Europe and use RT Software tOG solutions to insert virtual graphics such as distance markers or sponsor logos right in to the sporting action. We have evaluated alternative solutions, but none have the ease of use and reliability RT Software’s, or the expertise of their creative team. To put it simply, they deliver!

“Having worked for many years at the BBC presenting flagship Election and
News programs, I was constantly astounded by the ground breaking and
innovative systems the founders of RTSoftware produced. Whenever a problem
arose which looked insoluble, they solved it, however long it took. I cannot
speak too highly of them. Some of the techniques they developed have gone on
to become industry standards. They enabled the BBC to present complex news
stories in an exciting and accessible way.”
