Nine Technology and Mi9 create State of Origin instant replay app
An app that gives viewers the chance to review the big moments in the upcoming State of Origin has been developed by Mi9 and Nine Technology.
The announcement:
The blockbuster 2013 Holden State of Origin Series between the XXXX Queensland Maroons and NSW VB Blues is now even better – viewers can enjoy the epic battle with Channel Nine’s state-of-the-art viewing companion app, Jump-in, available on iPad and iPhone.
The State of Origin experience is underlined by advanced features from the Nine Technology Team and Mi9 to ensure viewers have the best seat in the house – right there in front of the TV, with all the statistics and replay vision on hand for the broadcast, the same as the commentary team use.
“Nine Technology has been working for the past three years to bring Australians the best technological development for the Jump-in State of Origin app, in particular the multi-angle replay feature,” Geoff Sparke, Director of Broadcast Operations for the Nine Network, said.
“Mi9 is excited to be collaborating closely with Nine Technology to bring this groundbreaking and innovative app experience to State of Origin fans. With Origin, Jump-in sets a new standard for second screen apps in Australia, enhancing TV and making the users’ experience more engaging,” said Mark Britt, CEO Mi9.
