News12 Expands Master Control Graphics Operations

New York TV network News12 has boosted its Master Control graphics operations with seven additional Unreal Engine graphic outputs controlled by Polygon Ipsum.

Polygon Labs' data aggregation and visualisation platform, Ipsum, is fully integrated with Epic Games' powerful real-time 3D creation platform, Unreal Engine. Ipsum, a cloud-based, enterprise-level application that enables streamlined management, data curation and centralised scheduling, is being used to centralise News12's master control graphics solution for its seven stations.

News12 wanted to expand its ticker operations across multiple channels while increasing its sponsorship capabilities and efficiency with the latest real-time graphics render technology.
 
The network chose Polygon Ipsum and Unreal Engine to run multiple on-air tickers, weather graphics, channel branding and events-based graphics. Ipsum seamlessly aggregates all News12's incoming data feeds, controls multiple Unreal Engine outputs, and provides a simple, efficient, and highly scalable interface for its producers and journalists to manage, curate, share and playout these feeds from any browser at any location.
 
"It's important for us to establish look and feel that can be informative and dynamic because we want to engage our viewers to the fullest extent and distinguish ourselves from the competition," explained Travis Machacek, Director of Technical Operations, News12. "Polygon Ipsum gives our graphics that unique look plus it's cost-effective, scalable, and gives us unlimited graphics control and coordination."
 
David Jorba, Polygon Labs’ Chief Strategy & Business Development Officer added: "The combination of Ipsum and Unreal Engine provides fast-paced news organisations like News12 with powerful tools that allow them to easily control their graphics output across their entire network operations."
