2M Utilized Reality 5 for Africa Cup of Nations Coverage

The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is more than just a tournament; it is a moment of pride for nations and high-octane entertainment for the region. To meet the moment, Moroccan public broadcaster 2M TV took its sports coverage to the next level.

By leveraging the full power of Zero Density’s Reality platform and partnering with industry leaders Videlio-Events and Aski-da Group, 2M TV transformed its two programs: Planète Foot with XR set and Replay with green screen studio, into a cutting-edge visual experience and the pinnacle of storytelling.

A New Era for Sports Broadcasting

At the heart of the Casablanca-based studios, a high-tech transformation took place. For the duration of the competition, 2M TV deployed an advanced Extended Reality (XR) set for Planète Foot. This allowed the channel to blur the lines between the physical studio and digital environments, offering viewers a seamless transition from real-world analysis to virtual data visualizations.

2M TV is also utilized a green screen studio powered by Reality for Replay. Its rendering, keying and compositing pipeline, in addition to other powerful capabilities, allows 2M TV to broadcast high-quality contents to its audience with maximum efficiency.

This collaboration highlights a shift in how public broadcasters engage with their audiences. By integrating Aski-da Group’s creative vision with Videlio-Events’ technical execution, 2M TV has set a new standard for sports journalism in North Africa.
