LIVE: An Integrated Production and Feedback System for Intelligent and Interactive TV Broadcasting
IEEE transactions on broadcasting, (2011)Abstract
In this paper, we report recent research activities
under the integrated project, Live Staging of Media Events
(LIVE), which is funded under European Framework-6 Programme,
and illustrate how a new LIVE TV broadcasting and
content production concept can be introduced to improve the
existing TV broadcasting services. In comparison with existing
TV content production technologies, we show case that LIVE
TV broadcasting format could achieve a range of significant
advantages, which can be highlighted as: (i) real-time interaction
between TV content production team and viewers to ensure the
best possible entertainment experiences and to allow viewers not
only to view but also to participate, to influence and to control;
(ii) the traditional concept of TV content director can be changed
to a TV content conductor, where live TV broadcasting can be
conducted on real-time bases and existing content materials can
be conducted into multi-streams of TV broadcasting, providing
variety of choices to allow the audience to make their own preferences
in watching TV programs; (iii) introduction of significant
intelligence in terms of content analysis and behavior analysis
etc. to further improve the quality of services based on the fundamental
concept of LIVE project. When tested under field trials
for 2008 Olympic Games by ORF, the developed LIVE system
has illustrated great potential as well as significant promises to
improve the TV broadcasting services not only in terms of the
interaction formats, but also in terms of viewing experiences as
well as the style of content productions and preparations.
