The 2024 U.S. presidential election represented a major event for the entire world, and Luxiris had the opportunity to contribute to the coverage of this development through two different graphic projects for France 24 and BFM.
U.S. election coverage on France 24
In 2024, Luxiris renewed its partnership with France 24 for the graphics component of the presidential election coverage, following a first successful collaboration in 2020. This year, France 24 asked Luxiris for qualified live human support in collaboration with BroadTeam for election data management.
In 2020, Luxiris provided full support, including the supply of graphic rendering engines, the integration of the channel’s graphic charter into the Avid Maestro environment and the development of a web interface allowing editors and journalists to validate election results in real time. The system also enabled the semi-automated export of infographics for France 24 and France Médias Monde social networks, ensuring consistent and rapid distribution of the news.
For 2024, while the focus was on real-time management services, Luxiris’ graphic expertise enabled France 24 to maintain the visual consistency of its channels during the event through the same service.
US Elections on BFM
For BFM, the Luxiris team collaborated for the first time on a large-scale production for this election. The project incorporated advanced technologies such as the STYPE tracking system and two ROSS Voyager engines, which made it possible to manage a virtual set and add augmented reality. Thanks to this setup, viewers were able to follow the election results with live visualization and simulation of the results.
Luxiris’ contribution was not limited to the installation of the production environment: a human team was on site during the 34 consecutive hours of broadcasting. This coordination with the BFM teams ensured a smooth and high quality production to cover this crucial event.
Through these two collaborations, Luxiris has demonstrated its expertise in election graphics, offering comprehensive solutions tailored to the needs of live TV stations.
