Sixty’s role in this joint collaboration was to help TV2 rebrand their news design package, and create a range of innovative AR openers for newscast, sportscast and economy news. By replacing the traditional show opener video sequence with live graphics, and running every opening sequence synchronised with robotic cameras, the AR opener is updated with up-to-date unique content collected from the current news topics. As a result, TV2 got a comprehensive studio set that responds to the fast-paced demands of news programming, enabling automated camera shots and the ability to seamlessly integrate and edit graphic overlays for live broadcasting.
Sixty’s involvement ensured that we were able to create an advanced and technologically flexible studio that can be tailored to specific programming and viewers, delivering an immersive and differentiated broadcast news experience
