ACC Highlights At Your Fingertips

The ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) announced they will be utilizing “Thought Equity Motion's T3 Library Manager to create an advanced digital workflow that provides sports broadcasters and other media with timely, online access to ACC sports content.” According to Yahoo Finance, “This service will replace traditional satellite and physical workflows historically used to distribute interviews and other video content. The platform's online portal allows sports producers and media to easily search for and download broadcast-quality packages of ACC content that will better meet broadcast deadlines. The ACC and its twelve member institutions will utilize the T3 Library Manager to upload highlights and interviews starting with the upcoming football season and continuing throughout the 2011-12 athletic season.” Additionally within the ACC Vault's, “Video Media Guide & Link Database, complete games have been tagged with rich play-by-play data, enabling search and syndication at the level of teams, players, highlights and individual moments (i.e., great blocks, great finishes, and dunks).”

Essentially, this technology puts thousands of hours of archived video footage at the fingertips of broadcasters and fans. Currently, the ACC Vault gives fans the chance to access many full length tournament and regular season men’s basketball games from as far back as 1983. The videos have been structured to allow fans to jump into a specific moment or play and share it via social media like Twitter, Facebook and blogs. Check out this link: http://bit.ly/nuVPxW. It is a direct link to an alley-oop by Michael Jordan in a 1984 UNC vs Duke game. Different major minutes of games are actually highlighted with a comment when you mouse over the bottom of the video. In this same game you can jump from Jordan’s alley-oop in the 59th minutes to Duke’s Mark Alarie “crashing a powerful dunk from underneath” in the 15th minute. Imagine during a game a broadcaster is discussing an awesome alley-oop by Harrison Barnes and wants to compare it to Jordan's…a quick search in the vault, side-by-side screenshots, and fans at home can compare for themselves.
