Univision Deportes has revealed that it gave Copa América Centenario 2016 coverage a Reality Check, employing the company’s LaunchPad touchscreen analytics solution.
univision deportesLaunchPad, from Reality Check Systems, made its network debut on 3 June as the US faced Colombia in the first match of the football competition, enabling it to use dynamic touchscreen graphics and analysis for the network's ongoing offering.
Based in the network’s Miami studio, the cloud technology allowed on-air talent to use graphics, telestrations, video highlights and analysis rooted in real-time and historical stats – from player, team and match data to fan Tweets and more.
The relationship won’t likely end with Copa America Centenario, the historic tournament to celebrate the 100th anniversary of South American soccer federation CONMEBOL. Univision Deportes and RCS also are exploring how the system might be deployed to enhance coverage of other properties and tournaments, including Liga MX and MLS.
Univision Deportes’ LaunchPad solution comprises a Vizrt rendering engine, a third-party touchscreen, RCS software, and Foundation, RCS' cloud database. The system automatically culls stats from data feeds provided by Opta; sorts and organises the information; and makes it accessible via the touchscreen or remotely through RCS's iPad Navigator application as dynamic templates.
RCS signed a similar deal with pan-Arab free-to-air broadcaster MBC to enhance on-air football analysis from the Saudi Pro League and Crown Prince Cup.
