Endemol UK – Sky Quiz Live

One operator panel running nine games across three hours of live television

Project description

Sky Quiz Live was three hours of live phone-in, Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 13:00 on SkyMix, with nine puzzle games and a single graphics operator. If the panel hesitated, the show hesitated on air, in front of everyone.

We specified, built and tested a Visual Basic control panel that drove the Clarity graphics hardware, so the operator picked the game and the callers saw it at once. The deadline was a broadcast slot, which is the kind that does not move.
