In a preferred system, the video material is time-stamped to permit conflicts in the content of multiple tags relating to the same video material to be resolved by making the most recent prevail.

Only tags associated with video information currently stored in any zone are retained in that zone, but all tags associated with information copied from a first zone to a second zone are supplied to the second zone.

In order to ensure that cautionary or advisory information contained in signs or signals (“tags”) associated with certain video material is retained during transfer between servers in different zones, the invention provides that new tags associated with video material in any zone are broadcast generally to all other zones.

LiveTouch works stand-alone or as an addition to Enterprise sQ – offering full editing and playback access to all media on any part of the combined system. The media does not first need to be transferred to a separate editor with the cost and complexity that involves. For example, while the LiveTouch operator is capturing highlights on the fly and providing instant playback and slo-mos, an editor can be simultaneously editing the media recorded on the LiveTouch server, assembling the individual highlights into packages that are ready for playback from the LiveTouch panel the moment the live action is over. The workflow is two-way – editors can access the highlights, with no media movement and the panels can play back any completed sequence. Uniquely, LiveTouch offers an optional integrated Quantel editing desktop and can work with other editing workstations on the same storage. In developing the LiveTouch panel, Quantel has consulted extensively with sports broadcasters and their on-air operators to ensure that it exactly meets the rigorous needs of live production. It has a mix of dedicated and soft-programmed buttons with a jog/shuttle wheel for fast and accurate clip navigation and a slow motion T-bar for precision playback speed control. The LiveTouch panel is purpose-designed to make highlights selection sure, simple and robust. The LiveTouch architecture means any control panel can access any clip on any server and play out highlights instantly via a new inter-server streaming mechanism. LiveTouch can grow to meet the needs of any size event – from a single server with six inputs to a multi-server system with more than 40 record ports.

Scalability and resilience is addressed through a mid-tier layer, separating control surfaces from the servers. LiveTouch comprises three major new components: a dedicated control panel, a control application and the new LiveTouch sQ Server. Uniquely, LiveTouch offers bidirectional editor integration making it faster and easier to integrate editing and highlights operations. LiveTouch is a scalable system capable of supporting productions in several studios to maximise ROI. Quantel launched its new studio sports highlighting system, LiveTouch, at IBC.
