10 NEWSFEED Updates & Upgrades NEW CHAMELEON AT POLLS
Bannister Lake’s data and graphics management solution Chameleon has released an upgrade, with some new tools for displaying and broadcasting election data now included. Chameleon Version 10’s election module improves how election data is ingested and managed. The release expands the ability to enter manual election results when data feeds may not be available. This kind of feature is useful in less populated districts or jurisdictions where real-time results are unavailable or impractical. The new features also include a fail-safe for instances when the results feed may be interrupted. Chameleon 10 has also added improvements in managing referendum and proposition results, with more
options for displaying down-ballot data.
The new release features the ability to feed data to web widgets, too, allowing producers to visualise data interactively online or on mobile devices. Bannister Lake is also introducing support for automated tweeting based on Chameleon data conditions. The updated version includes enhanced security features aligned with NIST guidelines, with improved password protection. “We realise that elections are more than just national events. These new features help ensure that broadcasters covering races in remote locations or in smaller communities can use data on-air more effectively,” said Bannister Lake’s president, Georg Hentsch.
ESPORTS COMES TO CABSAT
This year’s CABSAT show in Dubai has joined the esports gold rush. MENA’s biggest media tech trade show will debut the Esports Showcase. CABSAT has launched the new theme with the aim of “providing an opportunity to showcase and understand monetisation models”. In contrast to esports’ homegrown, DIY beginnings, the Esports Showcase will feature an invite-only networking event for high-level executives to create a marketplace for esports deals, as well as a conference including panels and keynote speeches. The Esports Showcase founding partners are Arabic esports streaming start-up Rawa.TV and MENA esports platform ESME. See p.58 for more.
