SUSU elections 2011
03/03/11 categories: television
Bleeding edge live HD broadcast from Students at Southampton University Students’ Union.
On Thursday 3rd March 2011 Southampton University Students’ Union Television, susutv, broadcast a three hour live high-definition event to mark the results night of their union elections.
SUSUtv broke records last year by becoming the first TV station to broadcast live in HD across the web, and continued with the tradition this year. The results of the 2011 Elections were again live in HD at www.susu.org and www.susu.tv. Due to begin at 9pm, the broadcast was delayed by the sheer numbers of people attempting to tune in at the same time, with 10,000 people tuning in across the night. The broadcast of Elections Night Live was a world first for much of the technology and interactivity from any Students’ Union.
For the first time, the Elections were broadcast from three different spaces, with an extensive green room setup, live media hub and main results stage. To make the night happen, SUSUtv and inqb8r used 60 crew members, £150,000 worth of equipment and over 40 screens. The result was that the three and a half hour broadcast was viewed in 21 countries, was fully interactive and reached 10,000 viewers.
The show, broadcast over multicast, http and in Flash was available to viewers on their set top boxes, laptops and mobile devices.
Viewers via the web were engaged in live onscreen votes, interactive graphics and the usual social media integration, via Twitter and a live blog.
Inqb8r developed a unique live platform to broadcast the event using latest flash technology, doing away with the need for expensive live graphic machines, by utilising the power of the viewers computer to render the graphics within the player.
Lower thirds, live votes, exit poll and results graphics were all drawn in realtime on viewers screens, allowing unique interaction with viewers and the stream and also directly to the presenters of the show and ensuring pin sharp overlays.
The show, entirely produced and run by Southampton students involved numerous clips from the week-long election campaign, a one-take lip-dub of all the candidates, as well as a hosted green room and the main results stage, all hosted in the student union bar.
The broadcast brought together all the media departments of the union, and saw presenters from the radio station, Surge, engaging with the audience on camera as well as live blogging from the Wessex Scene, the union newspaper, from the media hub.
The eight camera shoot was rigged and manned by susutv members, with very smooth cuts between the various studio areas, the results stage and the VTs.
Viewers of the show were entertained by a few hidden features in the player which included a live pingpong game, which was remotely triggered as the candidate results were announced.
Highlighted tweets from viewers on the night included comments from one person watching the show on his iPhone waiting for a plane in Gatwick airport, others who enjoyed the hidden features and started having pingpong matches between themselves as well as numerous comments from people enjoying the quality of the stream and impressed with the capture of the atmosphere from the event.
