RT Software Standardizes AJA I/O Solutions for Fast, Reliable Graphics Playback

Because flexible audio and video I/O are imperative for these visual effects, AJA Corvid and Kona products have become RT Software's go-to technology.

Audiences expect high-quality images through streaming and OTT content, whether tuning into local news or watching a football match on a mobile phone. This trend continues to grow as augmented reality (AR) is increasingly used to display weather information, athletic performance, match statistics...

RT Software helps broadcasters and sports production professionals meet these expectations with tools to create and deliver dynamic, interactive graphics. Since flexible audio and video I/O are essential for these visual effects, products AJA Corvid and Kona have become RT Software's reference technology.

Its AJA-powered solutions have been used since 2014 to control graphics, augmented reality and 4K broadcast coverage of major sporting events, from Wimbledon to cricket, a world-leading sailing competition and beyond.

For the Wimbledon coverage, BBC Studio earlier this summer, employed three of the 3d-Live engines from RT Software, each supported by an AJA Corvid 88 high-density I/O card, allowed graphical templates created in RT Software's Edit-3d to be rendered and composited live in the broadcast.

Chart traders were able to call up and display individual charts on demand, increasing the viewing experience for tennis fans. In addition to 3d-Live, other RT Software solutions rely on AJA solutions for capture/playback, such as the Swift Overlay Graphic Editor, que incluye una tarjeta Corvid o Kona dependiendo de los requisitos exactos de E/S de vídeo. La familia Táctica de herramientas de telestration de RT Software para los radiodifusores también se basa en tarjetas AJA I/O, que soportan cualquier formato de difusión, hasta 4K/UltraHD inclusive, para la reproducción/grabación simultánea.

Mike Fredriksen, director comercial de RT Software, afirma que “la tecnología de AJA aporta a nuestras soluciones una funcionalidad de captura y emisión asequible, portátil y fiable, y está respaldada por una increíble reputación de fiabilidad y soporte, que proporciona a nuestros clientes tranquilidad en el campo, especialmente cuando trabajan en eventos de alto perfil como Wimbledon”.

“Trabajar con el programa de desarrolladores de AJA no ha sido nada tímido, y esperamos poder desarrollar nuestros productos a medida que liberen nueva tecnología para los socios desarrolladores en el futuro” añade.

Además de 3d-Live, Edit-3d, Swift y la familia de productos Tactic, RT Software ofrece una gran cantidad de otras herramientas, servicios creativos y de diseño, formación, soporte en campo y consultoría.
