Insiders’ Technology to shine at Paris 2024 Olympic Games!

Insiders’ Technology to shine at Paris 2024 Olympic Games!





We are thrilled to announce our work alongside SwissTiming over the past three months, as part of the ESA thematic call, « Space for the Olympic Games. » Our objective has been to enhance the live tracking of sailing competitions at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games. To achieve this, our technical team has been diligently developing a new RTK device: Infinity.
  
These prototypes will eventually transform into a dedicated product tailored for the endurance sport market, to be marketed under the name Infinity.
  
With our ground breaking RTK technology, Infinity delivers unparalleled accuracy, capturing every twist, turn, and triumph with precision that’s second to none. From the high seas to rugged terrain, Infinity ensures that every move is tracked with absolute precision, bringing fans closer to the action than ever before. Our innovative device doesn’t just capture data; it enriches the entire sports experience by sharing real-time insights seamlessly across TV broadcasts, second-screen apps, live tracking platforms, and more, ensuring that fans are immersed in the excitement from start to finish.
  
  
« The main differentiator of our product is its ability to function as a standalone RTK tracking device, with true heading computed through sensor fusion. It leverages the LTE-M network for both RTK correction signal reception and real-time position data transmission to servers. Our solution automatically selects the closest RTK base station based on the device’s location, eliminating the need for a dedicated reference station. Instead, it relies on existing RTK base stations and cellular infrastructure. »

Sirisack Samoutphonh
Head of Embedded Systems at Insiders
  
This project will empower Insiders to expand their market share in sailing and venture into other sports markets such as mountain biking, kayaking, biathlon, cycling, triathlon, trail running, and more. It will also unlock new opportunities with rights holders, timekeepers, and TV graphics companies.

UltraSwim 33.3 chooses the Insiders solution to improve the safety management of the event

UltraSwim 33.3 chooses the Insiders solution to improve the safety management of the event





UltraSwim 33.3 is a multi-day open-water adventure swimming race series held in Montenegro. For the 2023 edition, the organizer has chosen Insiders devices to improve safety management during the event, providing live location of all safety boats and swimmers.


Can you tell us more about your use of Insiders trackers?
 
The Insiders devices concept is quite new and very interesting, especially for swimming events where risk management is quite tricky, on the water it can be very complex.
The tracking system provides real-time data such as the precise location of our safety boats, where our swimmers are, their speed and the distance separating them from the kayaks and safety supports. No other swimming event uses this system at the moment, but I think it will soon become a standard and minimum safety requirement.
 
Are there any other advantages to using the Insiders solution?
 
Clearly, safety is a top priority, and we were more than satisfied with this tool dedicated to the organizer. But the live tracking solution offered by Insiders also opens up new perspectives in terms of communication. We were able to share the live tracking with our partners, as well as with the swimmers’ families and friends. Many people are keen to follow the race up close, and are now able to do so from the other side of the world, which is still not very common in open-water swimming.
 
And what about the logistics on event?
 
In the UltraSwim 33.3, towfloats are compulsory, so we were able to put the Insiders devices in the towfloats. We actually had live tracking of all of the assets, all of the kayaks, all of the boats, all of the swimmers, for all of the swims. This system proved to be very effective, particularly in terms of data quality.

Vizrt’s Viz Flowics adds new data connector for Insiders API

Real-time data integreated into Rawmotion TV graphics to enhance storytelling of the broadcast


Vizrt is the leader in real-time graphics and live production solutions for content creators.   

With a 25-year history of inventing new simplified workflows for storytelling whether it is in the news, sports, broadcast, education, entertainment, live events, digital media, advertising, or anywhere else video lives, Vizrt has helped define and reshape the way video is created and shared with the world.  

Billions of people watch stories or video powered by Vizrt everyday including from media companies such as Al Arabiya, Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, NHL, NFL, NRK, Sky Group, The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, New York Giants, Nickelodeon, CBS Radio, ESPN Radio, MTV, USA TODAY, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NASA, PWC,  and more than 80% of the U.S. Fortune 100.  


What would you say about the Insiders API integration process?

“Sensors offer vital information on an athlete’s performance from heartrate to speed – information that is contained in the Insiders API. The new Insiders Data Connector allows sports content creators to add another layer of data that matters to audiences to their Viz Flowics graphics in a fast, simple and efficient way.” Viz Flowics co-founder, Gabriel Baños.  

What are the advantages of integrating the Insiders API?

Incorporating a new native integration with the Insiders API is one more step forward in our mission at Viz Flowics to simplify the production of data-driven graphics to enhance storytelling.

Position, timing, distance between athletes, performance, heartrate, acceleration, endurance – all this information adds another layer of interesting, sport relevant information to data-driven storytelling. Sports fans thrive on data, and data from wearables gives them a deeper understanding and insight into the performance levels of elite athletes. This is a whole new level of information access – making for an even more intimate engagement with the sport and the individual athletes.

How do you use the Insiders real-time data in your graphics?

Insiders API is integrated directly into Viz Flowics, available as a native Data Connector in our catalog.

If enabled in the use accounts, shared customers of Viz Flowics and Insiders can use the connector by simply selecting the ‘Insiders Data Connector’ to get access to individual athlete data gathered via their wearables. It’s that simple.

How do you think the integration of real-time data into TV graphics can influence video production in sport?

A recent survey done by Vizrt showed that data-driven graphics is a focal point to attract younger viewers. Polling thousands of content consumers and sports fans in the UK and US, 70% of all respondents agree 3D, AR graphics, and sports analysis tools add to their experience of the game.

The new generation of sports consumers expect augmented reality (AR) graphics, real-time data, and exciting analysis to enhance their immersion in the game, and any broadcaster not considering these elements within their content is already falling behind. Data visualization helps enrich sports analysis and make it easier for viewers to grasp performance, strategies, highlighting patterns and outliers.”

Rawmotion is a leading sports data service and real-time tv graphics provider for live sports productions in all parts of the world. Their premium solutions enhance tv productions for many different sports, turning sports events into the ultimate fan experience and increasing audience reach and engagement. Alexander Dörr, founder and CEO of Rawmotion, tells us more about the use of real-time data to enhance story telling of the broadcast.


As part of its collaboration with Velon, owner of the data and the global system by which it is produced, and the organizer of the Tour of Norway, Insiders worked with Rawmotion, reponsible for the integratation of real-time data and live TV graphics. Rawmotion developed custom middleware and a control application specifically designed to provide TV graphics for road cycling events.

“The modular concept of our solution allows us to integrate easily with different data providers. For Tour of Norway, we integrated data from 3 different partners: including Velon, the performance data provider. “

What has been your experience with Insiders’ devices during the Tour of Norway?

We worked with Velon, which uses Insiders hardware and cloud-based middleware to provide real-time data on athlete performance, and its solution provides a different perspective and interesting context for the viewers at home. It enhances the storytelling in the broadcast and gives us additional angles to work with.

Integration with the Insiders data platform was straight-forward and the latency of live data coming in from the trackers was very low in areas with good mobile coverage. Due to analysis of the mobile coverage on the stages, we knew in advance where to expect good data and were able to plan accordingly.

What are the most important features a tracker should have?

A GPS tracker for live sports production must be light-weight, reasonable form-factor (size) and great connectivity. Even more so, the cloud platform processing the tracker data must be optimised for low-latency applications. 

How do you think the behaviors of viewers who consume live sports have changed in recent years, and how will real-time data help support this change?

In the consumer sector over the past ten years, viewers have learned to use various kinds of online live data apps to analyse their own performance and progression and consumers are expecting to get the same experience from watching live sports. The additional data really helps to provide additional context and background information for viewers and fans. There is a strong desire to understand whats happening and get more in-depth information, it creates more exciting experiences and also allows fans to compare themselves with their heroes. »

The ASF (Association Suisse de Football) was one of the first organization to equip some of its teams with the INSPIRIT (previously called FiledWiz). Over the years, they have gone from being an early customer to a true partner, playing a key role in the development of our products.

We have also collaborated on the integration of the ITerpro platform which integrates and centralizes the data transmitted by INSPIRIT, and allows physical trainers from ASF to read training data more quickly and easily. Today, more than 2000 sessions have been recorded by the sensors since the beginning of the collaboration thanks to the 8 teams benefiting from our technology, including the women’s national team and all the junior teams. The data collected has also been used by the Federal Office of Sport to conduct research projects (Power to win).


« The INSPIRIT GPS system (formerly FieldWiz) is an important tool for the physical trainers of the Swiss Football Association’s junior national teams. It allows them to quickly obtain information about the movements of the players during training sessions and matches. This allows a better understanding of the individual efforts made and to adapt the training sessions accordingly. This information is also used to determine the individual load level and can help prevent injuries. The tool also allows us to follow the collective data of the teams in order to better understand the dynamics and to follow the evolutions.»
