Hispanic broadcaster Sistema de Opinion Interactiva (SOI TV) has been supported by software-house wTVision, together with broadcast service provider Imagina US. SOI TV enables US viewers to interact with the channel’s on-air programming. During live and recorded shows, virtual polls and graphics are broadcast with realtime information from social media (Twitter and Facebook) data feeds. For this project, wTVision’s playout automation system, Channel Maker, interfaced with a Nexio video server from Harris as the main source of content. Sequencing data came from Broadway Systems’ traffic management platform and all sources were routed through a Snell video router including all the channel’s live sources. Graphics were delivered from a VizRT engine and everything was keyed and mixed in a Harris IconMaster control switcher. SOI is using Studio CG, a content management system, to edit, manage and control the graphics. Julián Isaac, SOI TV CEO said: “wTVision worked hard to launch the US Hispanic TV Network – SOI TV. I’m very pleased to work with this team. Its professionals had a very proactive and efficient approach to the project. Also, the high quality of Studio CG and the huge flexibility of Channel Maker have been crucial for the success of our project.” www.wtvision.com
