| Rolling news for LG giant LED screen in Piccadilly Circus |
| Project Requirements |
|
Sky News was required to provide 24 hour, 7-day-a-week news, sport, entertainment and weather to LG Electronics
new giant LED screen in London's Piccadilly Circus where it will be seen by more than 1.1 million people each week.
|
| Solution |
Hyperdrive Solutions Ltd created a Windows service and user interface that monitored the Sky
databases for news content and transformed the data into XML where it was streamed to LG Electronics.
The service used a sophisticated algorithm to edit the news data into readable chunks
and monitor any journalistic edits and updates. The service also allowed the user to control the broadcast rate
of news data and although the service ran unattended, it would alert administrators of any process anomolies.
