Vizrt demonstrated at IBC the
latest version of its Social TV
system. This allows broadcasters
to monitor, filter, approve and
deploy user-generated content such
as tweets, Facebook posts, RSS,
and Instagram photos. They can
also build playlists or carousels of
selected social content to display

within live Vizrt graphics and
send to air. In partnership with
Zeebox, Vizrt demonstrated the
integration of interactive second
screen experiences into live TV
shows. The system brings in usergenerated content from Zeebox live.
Zeebox provides tools to manage
programme guides, interface with
social media, and search for topics
discussed on television. Votes,
polls, audience metrics and other
real-time audience participation
within Zeebox can be fed in realtime into the broadcast stream
for participating shows. Location,
social media interactions including
Facebook and Twitter, polls and
viewing preferences can all be used
to create a unique story.

Looking Ahead
Practically all modern television
receivers, displays and personal
video recorders are now capable of
sourcing directly from the internet
as well as from live broadcast
sources. The safest way for
traditional broadcast channels to
maintain their audiences in the
years to come will be by offering
fast and topical news coverage.
