RCS Gets Ready For Super Bowl XLIX

News Image
Reality Check Systems (RCS) has deployed 24 of its mobile hardware/software solutions to networks such as DirecTV, ESPN and NFLN to enliven remote studio shows and gameday broadcasts of the Super Bowl XLIX.

This marks the ninth successive year that RCS technology has been used to support graphics for the big game, and this year's arsenal includes 18 Bullets, one Twitter Bullet, a custom touchscreen and four tailored systems that will be used to splash compelling graphics across live Super Bowl coverage and pre- and post-game shows.

"We've been sending our technology into the field for this event for almost a decade now, and it's been amazing to see how broadcasters are transforming the ways they engage with Super Bowl audiences," explained RCS Producer Glenn White.

15 RCS rental Bullets and a custom touchscreen solution will be leveraged by NFL Network across five locations to air graphics for the network’s live international Super Bowl feed; gameday shows like 'NFL Total Access', 'Super Bowl Live', 'Super Bowl Tonight' and 'Playbook Primetime', among others; and its automated Gamecenter channel. Along with a RCS Twitter Bullet, two additional Bullets will also help power graphics for gameday coverage on DirecTV programs such as 'The Dan Patrick Show' and 'The Rich Eisen Show'.

RCS' Bullet packages custom software with industry-standard hardware in a convenient, mobile workstation to enable high-quality graphics for live-event productions and broadcasts. Available for rent in three models, each plug-and-play unit is powered by Viz Engine(TM), seamlessly integrates into any production environment and arrives on-site pre-configured to meet client demands.
