FingerWorks™ Telestrators Continues To Be At The Forefront Of Live Sports Broadcasting

FingerWorks™ Telestrators continues to be at the forefront of live sports broadcasting with its cutting-edge solutions, supporting major events like NASCAR, the Paris Olympics, IndyCar racing, U.S. college basketball and high school football, among many other things.

Most prominent perhaps is the PGA TOUR, for which six custom FingerWorks systems were deployed by PGA TOUR Studios in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Additionally, the Indian Cricket season is being supported by WTVision, part of the Add India Group, with FingerWorks Computer Vision tracking tools.

Selected to support PGA TOUR Studios' new, cutting-edge facility, the customised FingerWorks telestration system has a real-time touchscreen with advanced computer tracking tools in each of its five studios. This supports multiple screens with computer tracking tools and customised PGA Tour tools added to every FingerWorks system. The studio is the first of its kind to support both High Dynamic Range (HDR) and SMPTE ST 2110 formats, making it a leader in sports media production. Using HDR technology, the PGA broadcasters are afforded enhanced colour depth and contrast for richer, more vivid visual during broadcasts. Meanwhile, the ST 2110 compatibility enables the transmission of uncompressed audio, video and data over IP for increased efficiency and flexibility. This IP-based workflow allows for seamless routing across multiple platforms, which is critical to live sports broadcasting.

A key player in the broadcast industry, WTVision demonstrated its innovative prowess by providing advanced broadcast solutions for the 2025 Indian Cricket season. As a provider for numerous cricket leagues around the world, WTVision selected FingerWorks Computer Vision tracking tools, which it customised to enhance the cricket coverage. These tools incorporate dynamic features, such as custom-linked rosters and statistics, player position tracking and dynamic player distance tools, which collectively offer real-time, accurate insights into player movements and positioning.
