Does anyone know what software RTE uses for its live broadcasts. Or any information on the technology they use. Thank you

Most of them are satellite backhauled so there is no software used - hardware encoders, hardware decoders.

That question is so vague it's nearly impossible to answer.

I'm not really sure how to describe it. Like what is the system they use for say a live TV broadcast for the vision mixer?

Brandmaster is their on screen graphics programme. I believe the gear varies.

Example. RTE News Nows' Playout system is a version of the Morpheus ICE playout and automation system with FAST - their digital file content system. (Photo from Eurotec)



MediaFlex - FAST


Channel Management: Pilat IBMS
WorkFlow System: MediaFlex by TMD
Video server systems: Omneon/Avid

Why are you interested ? If its some some form of tech project, Eurotec might be able to help you and a lot is in the public domain for anoraks.

Most of their OBs are outsourced to TVM. A complete breakdown of their gear and the various OB facilities and mixing etc packed into their trucks is on TVM's website. http://tvm.ie/facilities/
