Magic Monday as Streamteam Finland goes on air with new virtual studio

At the end of 2017 Broadcast Solutions Finland Oy installed a virtual studio for its Finnish customer Streamteam Nordic Oy and the new virtual studio was taken into use on January 1. Streamteam uses the new virtual studio mainly to produce Finnish Horse Racing and TotoTV for its customer, Finnish gaming company Veikkaus Oy.

Juha Koskela, CEO at Streamteam, commented: “Broadcast Solutions Finland specified and delivered all required components for the virtual studio. We are satisfied with their service as well as Zero Density’s virtual studio software. Installation was easy, and everything has run smoothly from the start.”

The virtual studio brings a modern and dynamic outlook for TotoTV, which delivers horse racing programmes every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. The virtual studio desk and the anchors are physically located in the studio in Helsinki; all other elements are virtually inserted into the studio environment, e.g. videos from two different race tracks in the background during Magic Monday races.

The main technological components of the virtual studio are Zero Density virtual studio software, Mo-Sys tracking system, a SAM Kula production switcher and Slomo.tv replay servers.
