Case Study: BBC R&D revolutionises live TV vision mixing with Isotoma

BBC builds a browser-based vision mixer in 8 weeks with Isotoma Limited

The BBC's Research & Development division faced the challenge of revolutionizing live television broadcasting by creating a vision mixer that operates entirely within a web browser. Their goal was to replace expensive, resource-heavy traditional setups with a software-based solution that could handle multiple 4K video streams in real time for live broadcast. They engaged Isotoma to build the critical front-end application for this innovative IP Studio platform.

Isotoma developed the vision mixer application using React, delivering the solution in just eight weeks. The application successfully managed the complex synchronization of multiple video and audio feeds live within a browser. The impact was demonstrated when the system was used at the Edinburgh Festival, setting the stage for a paradigm shift in broadcasting and earning coverage on the BBC R&D blog.
