deltatre And Vizrt Partner
For Magma Pro Results
I

talian sports media and technology
company deltatre and Vizrt
broaden their partnership with
Magma Pro powered by Viz Libero
for the upcoming Football World
Championship.
Magma Pro powered by Viz Libero
extends deltatre's Magma product
offering typically used for TV graphics
and tournament statistics (including
tracking data) with the virtual graphic
capabilities and 3D camera ﬂights
offered by Viz Libero.
Viz Libero, Vizrt's 3D sports analysis
tool, accesses the Magma database
to attach and display deltatre
statistics to a player within the Viz
Libero analysis, either by applying
tied-to-pitch graphics such as heat
maps, or with player pointers to tag
the players on the field.
The integration of Magma's
player tracking data allows for fast
turnaround analysis clip preparation,
as well as interactive analysis by the

ondon's BTV Post provided full
post-production using SGO's
Mistika for the five-episode
television series 'How Cities Work,'
commissioned by Discovery.
Working closely with Electric Sky
Productions, BTV Post ensured that
the series portrayed the footage in
2D as well as Stereo 3D formats.
Ian Grey and George Dutton were
the talented BTV Post colourists
and online artists that put Mistika
to work on the project to complete
the picture post.
Grey said: "The production data
was transferred over our ultra-fast
connection between our Brighton
to London facilities. We then

deltatre has added several Vizrt
products to their production setup.

completed the eye alignment, depth
and colour grade using Mistika."
In addition, there were disparities
in the S3D post caused by lens ﬂare
and dirt on the camera lens which
required compositing from one eye
to the other.
Dutton said: "If it wasn't for

Mistika's compositing tools we
would have lost some vital Stereo
3D shots from the series. Using
a combination of these tools we
were able to paint out disparities
caused by lens ﬂares and dirt by
compositing from the unaffected eye.
"Mistika's auto alignment and colour
balance tools worked brilliantly on
most of the shots. When faced with
the more complex challenges such
as lens ﬂares, extreme colour and
focus mismatches."
Filmed in S3D, How Cities Work
shows coverage of world-leading
cities and their key advancements
in planning, technology
and engineering.
