>TELOS ALLIANCE

Telos Infinity IP Intercom platform helps Progressive American Flat Track Racing streamline event comms, saving time and money. Progressive American Flat Track (AFT) racing started experiencing comms that were difficult to set up with an overcomplicated software interface. Additionally, some device settings were only available on the hardware itself, and there were multiple areas in the signal flow to set input and output gain making it extremely difficult troubleshooting. Integration into any of AFT’s current equipment was also challenging. With AFT utilizing a rack of Blackmagic Design ATEM hardware, they needed an Intercom system that could handle integration with enough play in levels to make Comms crystal clear in the control room and in the field. AFT purchased an Infinity system with six Telos Infinity Master Panels, two Telos Infinity Beltpacks, and Telos Alliance xNodes to tie in camera Comms with analog ins and outs for two-way radio intercoms. The Announcer’s Booth, Pit Talent, and Race Control now have full communication from the field back to the production control room and can now ensure a smooth event. It all adds up to Telos Infinity IP Intercom saving AFT time and money due to the ability to cut shows live with no need for off-premise editing.

>UNREAL ENGINE

In a few short years, Unreal Engine has established itself as a “must-have” tool for virtual studios and augmented/mixed reality for live sports broadcasts.

And while easy access to photorealistic materials/textures from Quixel, over 3 million 3D models from Sketchfab, and strong integrations to C4D and Maya is a current boon, many productions are still learning just how far our ecosystem really goes. Virtual production tools for major films, particle effects for games, digital humans, and clothing for fashion — these tools are never siloed. Everyone gets the same updates, so content creators are free to take what they need and run. With the launch of UE5, our nextgeneration render engine, broadcasts will be able to push the boundaries of realism even further, bringing more attention to their productions and more power to their stories.
