The Winter Olympics of the Stars

German television network SAT1 used Ventuz for the biggest game show event of this winter.

With two live shows of 2.5 hours each, German television network SAT1 has aired the biggest game show event of this winter. In The Winter Olympics of the Stars 12 German celebrities competed against each other in four different sports: biathlon, speed skating, short track and curling.





The agency Rayd was responsible for data scouting, chronometry and on-air-graphic. A complex system of light barriers, time computers, and iPads gathered all data which was then fed into Ventuz to calculate scores and create the graphical illustration. The entire show ran on full-HD.

“The flexibility of Ventuz was a real benefit”, says Oliver Grimm of Rayd. “All changes to the regulations and last-minute adjustments of the schedule could be easily integrated into our logic.”

Videos of the entire show can be watched online. Please follow this link!
