Linux powers interactive TV for live sporting events

Apr 19, 2006 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — views

Kangaroo TV used Linux and Qtopia to build a rugged, cellular-networked multimedia transceiver that lets spectators at live sporting events tailor their own broadcast coverage, selecting from up to 10 live video feeds, calling up instant replays on demand, and accessing statistics and score-cards in real-time.

The IVT-200 is currently offered for rent by Sprint at Nextel Cup NASCAR events, but also targets golf tournaments, along with football, baseball, and other mainstream sports. Learn more about it in our complete Device Profile:
