Chile. After its founding in 2018, TVTEL S.A has quickly established itself as a provider of streaming services in Latin America, using the latest in broadcast and satellite technologies for global events, including the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
With its recent purchase of RT Software's Tactic Pro sports analytics solution, TVTEL S.A can now offer its customers the ability to add analytics graphs to clips of sporting events wherever they take place around the world.
This service has already been taken over by several customers, including Latina TV for the recent Peru vs Colombia World Cup qualifier in Lima. A live broadcast of the match was sent from the stadium via 5G to the TVTEL S.A. base in Santiago. There, TVTEL S.A used Tactic Pro to add analysis graphics and then sent the finished clips to the client in Peru to be sent to TX, all while the game was being developed.
In such a critical situation in the time of live sports, the speed of operation and the ability to change a graphical sequence while the game is still running are crucial. Powered by AI, Tactic Pro's player detection tool achieves this by significantly reducing an operator's workload in time-critical situations, including part-time and full-time analytics programs. With just a click of the mouse, Tactic Pro's machine learning module highlights and displays a path for all players and their movement along a sequence, giving the operator more time for analysis and narration.
Nerio Aquirre, Art and Graphics Director of TVTEL S.A, explained: "Tactic Pro's AI capability brings precision and reliability, a key aspect during live events. All of these features, combined with its machine learning player detection tool and robust tracking system, reduce the time we need to create analysis clips."
Nerio also believes that the ease with which TVTEL S.A operators were able to familiarize themselves with Tactic Pro and its versatility were key reasons for choosing Tactic Pro: "This is a powerful tool to include in our portfolio of graphics solutions. It works with a wide range of sports. It is completely customizable and easy to use; after a couple of hours, the operators on our charting team were ready to go."
From the commercial point of view, Rodrigo Peralta, Commercial Director of TVTEL SA, believes that Tactic Pro fits perfectly with the company's philosophy: "Offering high-end technological solutions is one of our priorities. That's why we're excited to partner with RT Software."
