When faced with the challenge of creating a show to showcase the new discoveries in Sanxingdui, one of the most important archaeological sites in China, the national television CCTV decided to make the information both attractive and understandable for all audiences.

For that reason, the idea was to create a eye-catching show, conducted by a combination of real and virtual anchors, using a real presenter along with Daliren, one of most important existing culture relic of Sanxingdui found many years ago, to lead the audience to know more about the remains while using one of such remains to spread this knowledge.

So, the responsibles for this show at CCTV wanted Daliren to look alive and interact with the real anchor, so they relied on production company Camkoon to create the virtual character. Daliren is a copper sculpture, but it had to become alive to make the interaction with the real person seamless and believable.

The final result and the impressive effect created with such high-end technology equipment were highly regarded by the CCTV News centre leader. They appreciated the impact of using virtual studio and AR technology to bring a cultural relic to life, and the interaction between the real anchor and Daliren was not only impressive but also facilitated the audience to focus on the show and ensured the information was spread.

Spanish super star tennis player Rafa Nadal is taking his methodology to the Middle East with the recently inaugurated Rafa Nadal Academy in Kuwait. The objective of this academy is to become a leading tennis centre in the Middle East and to support the Kuwait Tennis Federation in the development of a programme that drives the sport with a formative project.

The Opening Act, celebrated last February, consisted of a series of presentations and tennis exhibitions followed by a tennis match between Spanish top players Rafa Nadal and David Ferrer. More than 1,500 people attended the ceremony and watched the game on-site, at the same time that the full Opening Act was broadcast live by Kuwait Sport TV for millions of viewers at home.

For the live production of the event, Kuwait Sport TV contracted the services of Mena International, a renowned sport services provider and system integrator, and also Brainstorm’s official reseller in the region. Mena’s Project Manager, Maged Mahmoud, is highly experienced in the use of Brainstorm solutions and was in charge of the Aston system that was used for graphics production at the event. Aston created all the on-air graphics and Augmented Reality elements, which were inserted over the live camera feed. Before the event, 13 different animated templates were produced with Aston for the live broadcast, which were controlled and played out by Brainstorm’s OnDemand. The whole team performed at its best and the live broadcast was a great success.

The whole team performed at its best and the live broadcast was a great success. Kuwait TV also expressed their satisfaction with the results.

Premiered in 1989, Inside Edition is the longest-running syndicated newsmagazine program that is not strictly focused on entertainment news. Brainstorm’s InfinitySet is performing at its best at the heart of this daily production.

Inside Edition is broadcasted from New York city, where CBS houses the show’s main production facilities and virtual set in a flexible, multi-purpose studio. The virtual set features a number of virtually collapsable screens to host the videos. The presenter is shot in a 40×20 feet (12×6 meters) cyclorama and then immersed in the virtual set using InfinitySet.

The show is shot live, daily, with a technical setup comprising three InfinitySet +Track with InfinitySet Player licenses plus an InfinitySet Controller. The cameras combine two tracked PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) robotic heads plus a specially calibrated tracked crane, all of them sending signals to the Ultimatte Chroma Keyer, which then feeds the video+key signal to the Infinity Set workstations. The whole setup of cameras and InfinitySet is manned by just one operator, which demonstrates an extremely efficient and automated operation.

Summer Games are essential in any broadcasters’ agenda, as they are followed by millions of viewers all around the world, for which all major channels invest on large and complex installations to guarantee the best coverage.

The 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro were no exception, and RAI, Radiotelevisione Italiana, sent over a team of professionals backed up by the latest technology available to create a stunning visual experience for their viewers. To be the heart of this installation RAI chose Brainstorm’s eStudio, the industry’s fastest 3D graphics and virtual studio engine. Impressing viewers is a real challenge today, and following the resounding success of the ‘The Voice’ program based on the Brainstorm eStudio virtual studio application together with FOR-A and other products, RAI thought that the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro would be an excellent opportunity to enhance their sports programing.

In 2011, the Wimbledon finals were screened live in high definition 3D for the first time, a formidable challenge that required an innovative, tailor-made approach to television graphics in order to provide real-time on-screen information to hundreds of millions of homes around the world in both 3D and traditional 2D.

IDS has worked with IBM and the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) for years, as well as many other tennis championships such as the French, Australian and U.S. Opens, but this was the first foray into displaying live tennis in 3D. IDS is an IBM Business Partner and configured the systems, provided the software and supplied the staff to support the production. The key internal system components included NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 5800 graphics processors along with NVIDIA and AJA SDI video outputs.

The core of the system was Brainstorm Multimedia’s “eStudio” 3D render engine controlled by IDS TV interface and control applications. Prior to Wimbledon, IDS developed a tennis-specific design in eStudio based on a joint review with IBM and BBC Graphics to create a ‘Wimbledon Graphics Reference Guide’ that was used to build the Brainstorm-based graphics package. In January 2011 IDS conducted parallel testing at the Australian Open, and a full technology test was conducted by the AELTC in late April. The Brainstorm graphics package incorporated the full 3D design and animations used by the BBC but were adjusted to reflect the traditional look, feel and colours of Wimbledon in all their glory.

A Brainstorm’s eStudio user since 2006, in 2014 CNBC celebrated its 25th Anniversary completing an ambitious project: the modernization of their installations, along with the full migration to 16:9 HD broadcasting and the redesign of their on-air looks to take advantage of this new structure.

One of the key elements of the redesign was to achieve a closer integration between the different on-screen graphic elements and the live content of the program. This required the fluid integration of live video, interviews, live talent and data driven graphics.

CNBC worked closely with a dedicated team from Brainstorm Production Services Department integrated on site for the project duration with their Real-Time Graphics Department which proved to be a winning combination of technical knowledge and designing talent. In addition, a separate Brainstorm solution was integrated into the control room system flow to create a transition from live video to breaking news alerts and other high alert animations in a way that a switcher alone could not accomplish.

For Brainstorm, teaming up with CNBC for this project meant to be as close as possible with the most advanced real-time graphics in the market. CNBC’s seasoned team was capable of extracting the most from the Brainstorm eStudio engine, and in response, Brainstorm pushed the boundaries of technology and innovation to new limits to facilitate the work.
