KIT digital has expanded its partnership with Sports Network Television to provide full coverage of this year's 19th FIFA World Cup from June 11 to July 11, 2010 to fans across the globe over the three screens: computer, mobile and TV.
SNTV provides television broadcasters with top quality footage of the sports news of the day. SNTV is the only non-linear broadcast accredited agency that will be reporting on all World Cup matches between 32 teams in 9 cities across South Africa. SNTV will have dedicated, on-site crews covering breaking news and reactions, interviews with players and coaches, training coverage, and press conferences.
KIT digital will provide SNTV with a complete end-to-end solution through its VX-one platform, with services that include: editing tools for transforming the raw footage into broadcast-ready clips, providing localization services for the video content in a number of languages (e.g. English, Spanish, Portuguese & Polish), customization tools for modifying the video with logos, headers, name slates and other graphics to meet SNTV's clients' preferences, syndication and instant and simultaneous delivery of the coverage in all formats to over 500 websites, mobile operators, and commercial news broadcasters globally.
KIT digital will also be providing video players with pre-loaded content to SNTV's clients, which will expand their service offering to news organizations that do not have sophisticated IP video ingestion capabilities.
KIT digital has partnered with SNTV in the past to deliver exclusive coverage of the some world's largest sporting events, including the 2008 European Cup and the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games.
