Galanis Sports Data launched its first TV
Graphics service back in 1986, during the Bruno Zauli Athletics
Championships and the 5th World Waterpolo FINA Cup, both
televised by ERT.
At that time the character generators used were two BBC computers
with COX genlock cards and two years later were replaced by many
AMIGAs.
During the early nineties, mainly due to the introduction in
Greece of private television (ANTENNA TV and MEGA CHANNEL), there
has been a boom of TV coverage of sports events.
Today, over 20% of the 2,500 sports events covered yearly by
Galanis Sports Data are televised, and TV graphics are inserted
using various systems, including AGILE, DVG of ORAD, Inscriber
etc.
