People underestimate how hard reality TV graphics are. Sports broadcasts have data feeds you can verify, structures you can predict, and rule sets that don’t change between episodes. Reality TV has none of that. The show’s structure changes every season. The graphics format changes every week. The data feeding the graphics — votes, scores, eliminations,…

A race day is one of the most concentrated commercial environments in sport. Thousands of spectators, hours of focused attention, a captive audience moving between viewing zones, hospitality boxes, and bars — all of them in front of screens for most of the day. Every one of those screens is revenue inventory. Most racecourses use…

Most viewers can’t tell you what a great live graphic looks like. They can tell you when one is missing. The score that should be there and isn’t.

The traditional answer (more hardware, more operators, more truck space) doesn’t survive the math of OTT and FAST. The new answer is a cloud-first graphics…
