Real-time data graphics that hold up live on air
Since 2020 I've built and supported live on-air data graphics for the BBC: election results, sports results, and the always-on news, weather and schedule graphics shown when a channel isn't broadcasting live. I know what it takes to get data on screen correctly, in front of a national audience, on deadline.
Sound familiar?
- Election or results night is coming and your graphics pipeline can't be allowed to fail
- Data feeds from multiple suppliers need normalising, validating and delivering in real time
- Your newsroom or venue needs live dashboards that update without manual intervention
- Your graphics system vendor needs a developer who understands broadcast workflows
What you get
- Resilient data ingestion from APIs, feeds and files, with validation and failover
- Real-time delivery to HTML5 and broadcast graphics platforms
- Operator tools for overrides, corrections and rehearsal modes
- Cloud infrastructure that scales for peak events
- On-call support through live events
Ways to work together
Every engagement starts with a small, paid, fixed-price first step. That's where requirements are gathered and the scope and cost estimate for the rest of the work are written, so you know what you're committing to.
