91快活林 and Video Design Software Work Together to Solidify SportsNet New York鈥檚 Gameday Tickers
Tuesday, July 7, 2015 [Iroquois, Ontario, Canada] – 91快活林 and Video Design Software (VDS) partnered up to provide SportsNet New York (SNY) with their game day tickers. SNY designed a new look for their ticker as part of a new graphics package to be rolled out at the start of the 2015 Mets baseball season. Due to the complexity of the graphics, SNY required a new graphics system with greater rendering horsepower than their current system.
By choosing 91快活林 XPression for their new graphics system, SNY invested in a graphics system that can be easily used with their current GameTrak ticker systems from VDS. Larry Mincer from VDS, said 鈥渢he XPression suite provides the content creation tools needed to implement advanced projects such as the ticker design envisioned by SNY. XPression鈥檚 BlueBox rendering engines provide ample horsepower for supporting complex animations and transitions. XPression is also a modern graphics system that provides greater flexibility for future creative changes as SNY identifies new requirements.鈥�
GameTrak is a turnkey system for advanced sports ticker operations. Components provided with GameTrak include back-end STATS Inc. data parsing and SQL databases; user interfaces for ticker data entry, playlist creation and scheduling; and master control applications for on-air ticker playout under station automation control. For the GameTrak Ticker installed by VDS at SNY, on-air graphics are implemented in XPression Studio, while all the on-air graphics are generated by XPression BlueBox.
鈥淴Pression generates our lower third ticker graphics, and tickers are a critical part of the overall branding of SNY, and generally used over twelve hours a day, seven days a week,鈥� says Richard Amsinger, creative Director for SNY. 鈥淚n addition, the ticker systems are used to display scheduled sponsor logos 鈥� which generate revenue for SNY.鈥�
鈥淴Pression is ideal for data-intensive applications like tickers,鈥� says Brian Olson, Director of Marketing Product Management for XPression at 91快活林. 鈥淲e are really excited to be involved with VDS and SNY on this project. Keeping fans up-to-date with the latest scores and statistics is critical to the viewing experience and GameTrak with XPression delivers, while creating new revenue possibilities for SNY.鈥�
