By introducing innovative broadcasting solutions, we have paved the way for enhanced viewer experiences and streamlined broadcasting operations.

Our Projects in 2023

Reflecting upon the remarkable projects undertaken over the past few months, we kicked off the year with the rebranding of BCCI’s house style for in match graphics. We covered the Sri Lanka tour of India, the New Zealand tour of India, and the Australia tour of India. In March 2023, the first ever edition of the Women’s Premier League of Cricket took center stage and our teams were on site setting a benchmark for sports coverage that celebrates women athletes and their prowess.

Building on our triumphant stint with the WPL, wTVision was handpicked to helm the broadcast of the esteemed TATA Indian Premier League (IPL 2023)—the world’s second most-valued cricket spectacle. 74 games later, the TATA IPL final became the most watched digital event globally, with 120 million unique viewers tuning in for the final match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans on JioCinema. wTVision helped Viacom18 generate an astounding 449 million views on its digital streaming platform, JioCinema.

TATA IPL 2023 was as challenging as it gets. For the first time in the history of the TATA IPL, viewers were treated to an unparalleled visual experience with the implementation of native 4K technology. We used 6 full 4K kits and 4 HD 1080p kits supported by over 30 operators. For the world feed, we provided match graphics, augmented reality with tracking for drones, StypeKit, Spidercam and Aerocam, virtual reality, and video analysis. We also introduced for the first time in cricket - Aerocam, our 4 point suspended camera system with tracking and augmented reality. The use of virtual mats enhanced the visual appeal of the game, providing dynamic graphics that complemented the action on the field. We also managed the content in all the in-sadia big screen keeping audiences updated with match stats and entertaining them with trivia. We also provided our services to Sports 18 where we delivered match graphics and pre and post-match show graphics in 12 languages and 22 feeds. By incorporating virtual studios, viewers were transported to immersive virtual environments that added depth and excitement to the on-screen presentations.

Through our innovative solutions, we successfully transformed the way cricket is presented and consumed, making the TATA IPL a global spectacle that captivates audiences worldwide.

We have proven to be an innovative partner for our clients. For Ultimate Table Tennis, we developed the Talus Superfly data visualization platform, which combines the power of Unreal Engine with statistics and ball bounce data to provide viewers with additional insights.

During the broadcast of TNPL, we introduced our AI and computer vision-based tool - Talus Tagger which allows an operator to place a graphic stat / KPI on a player in the field. This is integrated into our standard delivery workflow allowing us to quickly bring in game statistics to a tagger graphic.

wTVision utilized Aerocam technology integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) during the 2023 FIH Hockey World Cup. Aerocam is a state-of-the-art camera system that is mounted on a cable, delivering 360-degree coverage of the hockey field. These shots provide viewers with a unique perspective of the game, showcasing the intensity and speed of the sport. We integrated it with AR, allowing us to overlay graphics and real-time data onto the live footage, providing viewers with additional information such as player statistics, score updates, and replays.
