Live Data & Broadcast Graphics

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.
