Orad TrackVision enhances Asian 5 Nations rugby

Orad’s TrackVision sensor free sport enhancement solution is being employed by AlphaSports TV to enhance the broadcasts of the 2011 Asian 5 Nations Rugby tournament, not to mention providing increased visibility for the title sponsor, HSBC.

“AlphaSports TV chose Orad’s TrackVision system as a means of providing a high-value upgrade to the client. Moving forward beginning with the 2011 season, the system allows for display of high-impact virtual logos on the field, as well as providing useful spectator enhancements such as kicking distance to the goal and other real-time measurements. The quick learning curve and ease of use of the virtual graphics system made the choice of Orad an easy one” stated Andrew Allan of AlphaSports.

Viewed by millions, the Asian 5 Nations Rugby tournament represents the one of the highest tiers of international rugby in Asia. For 2011 its broadcast venues include Colombo (Sri Lanka), Hong Kong, Dubai (U.A.E.) and Incheon (Korea).

With Orad’s TrackVision solution, virtual graphics are superimposed over the playing field, providing offsides lines, kick distances and other unique features, as well as placing sponsorships on the field of play.
