01What viewers see

Every graphic makes the story clearer.

A substantial working foundation, built around the questions viewers ask and the decisions a newsroom makes.

Built in project

Make Kenya understandable

County maps, cartograms, drill-downs, turnout and reporting coverage turn the national picture into a story viewers can follow.

Explore graphics
Built in project

Bring every race to life

Candidate portraits, head-to-head comparisons, result boards, tickers and a presidential threshold tracker explain what changes and why it matters.

Open control room
Built in project

Keep evidence in the picture

Source stamps, verification screens and an editorial clearing gate connect the number on screen with the record behind it.

Give producers control

Preview the next graphic, arrange the running order, cue it to air and update the scrolling text from a dedicated operator surface.

02The newsroom

From a result to a story. To air.

Editors, data teams and producers share one chain from incoming evidence to the picture the audience sees.

  1. 01Ingest

    Source

    Bring results and supporting records into a common data layer.

  2. 02Check

    Verify

    Review the evidence, reconcile figures and flag exceptions.

  3. 03Preview

    Prepare

    Choose the graphic, check its preview and place it in the rundown.

  4. 04Program

    Take to air

    The producer cues the cleared graphic to the selected output.

  5. 05Record

    Replay

    Review what was shown, when it aired and which source supported it.

“What changed? Where? And how do we know?”

The map explains where. The candidate board explains the race. The station evidence explains the source. The producer chooses the moment.

Inspect the control room See the replay record
03The global benchmark

Learn from the best. Build around Kenya.

Five established graphics platforms show what world-class broadcast production demands. These are reference benchmarks, not claimed partnerships.

Vizrt

Viz Engine · Virtual studio

BBC election coverage combined a virtual set, camera tracking, touchscreen and video wall.

The lessonOne visual story across the studio, with data and camera movement in sync.

Evidence

Ross Video

XPression · Voyager · DataLinq

NBC Sports Regional Networks use Ross graphics and virtual production tools across their studio workflow.

The lessonReusable data-driven templates, producer tools and flexible output paths.

Evidence

Chyron

PRIME · CAMIO · NewsTicker

Chyron's newsroom platform connects graphics, MOS workflows, assets and automated data updates.

The lessonDesign for the newsroom operator as carefully as for the audience.

Evidence

Brainstorm

InfinitySet · Aston · AstonElections

Brainstorm documents election graphics deployments for NBC, CNBC, Antena 3 and RTVE.

The lessonTurn complicated election data into clear templates and presenter-led stories.

Evidence

Zero Density

Reality5 · Virtual production

CBS News used Reality5 for AR and hybrid studio election coverage in 2024.

The lessonA convincing virtual world needs tracking, compositing, hardware and rehearsal.

Evidence
The TV47 opportunity

Global production ambition. Kenyan editorial intelligence.

Combine our graphics and evidence workflow with the delivery engine that fits TV47's gallery.

Sources checked 6 October 2026. Broadcaster examples describe the named production, not every current system used by that station. This is a qualitative benchmark; no pricing or unsupported performance ranking is implied.

04The engineering path

Fit the gallery. Then raise the ceiling.

Start with the simplest ingest path TV47 can validate. Expand into tracked AR and XR as the production demands it.

01Browser graphics

Start with screens.

Use the existing browser-source renderer for full-frame graphics, overlays, video-wall content and rehearsal.

  • OBS / vMix / compatible HTML ingest
  • Program, preview, wall and ticker channels
  • Transparent output where supported
Studio ingest & GPU tests required
02Data to studio engine

Connect the stack.

Bind the authenticated JSON feed to TV47's selected graphics engine, with approved templates and source handling.

  • Vizrt / Ross / Chyron / Unreal adapter work
  • Machine-token access and data mapping
  • TV47 keeps the final signal chain
Engine integration to be commissioned
03Tracked AR & XR

Enter the world.

Turn the showreel's maps, studio floors and data towers into tracked-camera production using a native studio renderer.

  • Tracking, lens calibration and compositing
  • Render workstations and video I/O
  • LED / green-screen set and rehearsals
Hardware & installation required

Where our responsibility sits

Graphics, data, editorial state and operator control. TV47's downstream production chain handles timing, mixing and transmission.

What is demonstrable today

Browser concepts, template and control interfaces, the evidence architecture and the existing showreel library. Open the station pilot handoff →

What the showreel proves

Visual direction and storytelling potential. It does not certify broadcast latency, genlock, native output or a commissioned studio.

05A focused first step

One pilot. A shared standard.

Choose the moments that matter most. Put them through TV47's real gallery. Judge the pictures, the evidence and the operator experience together.

  1. 01
    Editorial + engineering owners

    Name one lead from each team and select a priority election rundown.

  2. 02
    A small, complete package

    Map, candidate race, results strap, evidence card and one studio hero moment.

  3. 03
    A real gallery rehearsal

    Check readability, frame stability, source loss, correction flow and recovery.

  4. 04
    A decision grounded in evidence

    Agree scope, hardware, cost and rollout after the pilot acceptance review.

06The finale

Less explaining. More seeing.

A deliberately ordered finale. Establish the world, explain the nation, make the stakes clear and land the moment.

Act 01

Establish the world

Open with the real TV47 mark, studio and visual ambition.

Act 02

Meet the field

Five people. Real portraits. No confirmed-ballot claim.

Act 03

Explain the stakes

Fictional totals reconcile; assumptions stay visible.

Act 04

Land the moment

Ruto wins the selected scenario. Never an official declaration.

2027 SIMULATION · NOT A FORECAST

Five people. One scripted scenario.

Invented demonstration results. Ruto wins this selected scenario. This is not a poll, prediction, official result or confirmed ballot.
