BURBANK, CALIF.—Dubai-based broadcaster MBC Pro Sports has added the Reality Check Systems LaunchPad touchscreen system to its studio for on-air analysis of soccer broadcasts. MBC installed the cloud-based technology in August to bring real-time player, team and match data; video replays; Tweets; telestrations; and analysis to its viewers.

MBC’s LaunchPad runs on Vizrt’s Viz rendering engine, RCS software and RCS’ cloud database DataCenter. The system draws from Opta data feeds, which it sorts and organizes the information and makes it available via the touchscreen.

New features to the RCS LaunchPad for use on MBC includes the Vizrt Viz Libero 3D analysis software for video clip access and playout, as well as the ability to populate LaunchPad scenes with sponsorship artwork.

RCS is a graphics and production systems provider headquartered in Burbank, Calif.

NEW YORK – Adder and Reality Check Systems are teaming up to supply technology for OB production trucks by combining RCS’ Bullet mobile graphic workstation with Adder’s KVM platform to improve the user experiences for OB truck operators.

The RCS Bullet is a plug-and-play, turnkey mobile graphics workstation that powers live graphics production anywhere. The necessary user interaction to operate the system is then supplied by Adder’s IP-based KVM technology, creating flexible resource allocation and allowing multiple users to access a single resource, or one operator to access multiple resources.

As outside broadcast production is moving more toward IP-based systems, Adder and RCS’ collaboration seeks to help facilitate that transition. Since mobile facilities can be used in a number of different applications and internal setups need to be reconfigured accordingly, the switching and extension capabilities of Adder’s IP-based KVM platform are particularly beneficial for such cases.
