Virgin Atlantic
Live Text News Service

Project Requirements
Virgin Atlantic wanted to provide their customers with the latest Sky General, Business, Entertainment and Sports news straight to their seat-back screens on their aircraft.

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 the third party satellite upstream system. 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.
