Highlights About Synergy Teams log onto the Synergy website from anywhere in the world and stream automated video edits from college or professional games. Synergy lets you "follow your nose" like never before to become familiar with players or teams in a very short period of time: Tired of watching a player's pick and rolls? Switch to his iso’s, spot-ups, transitions or any other play-type without having to wait for a video staff member to work up requested edits. Whenever watching video, staff can easily tag favorite clips to create their own custom edits for others to watch. Any staff member you authorize can watch these edits from anywhere in the world on the Synergy website. Custom edits created by a team's staff (as well as Synergy's automated edits) can be viewed in a wide variety of ways including iPods, DVDs, VHS tape or computer projection. You can even stream video to Smart Phones. When on the road, clients can transfer video to their laptop's hard drive for portable viewing while on a plane or bus, etc. Due to our advanced technology, games are downloaded very quickly and several games can be downloaded overnight without a hitch.. Games are available to watch as they occur. Synergy logs in "real-time" so there is very little lag time between the action and your ability to watch it.

Highlights About XOS The team at XOS Digital is just about as busy as the football teams playing on Saturdays around the SEC in the fall. For each game that is played, there are multiple editors taking the video feed and delivering different content to XOS partners. The full game is recorded by our ingest team. That feed then goes to an editor, who edits the pre- game and post-game. Commercials and other sections will be edited out too. Once complete, it goes to the XOS Download Store, as well as the XOS Digital Vault. A lower resolution copy can also be viewed by fans on the SEC Digital Network. A different editor will take the same game and look for widgets, also called big plays or highlights. These widgets are edited with the play-by-play of the announcer and then delivered to the affiliate network. Lastly, a third team creates a full produced, voiced over game highlights package. A writer/anchor watches the game and writes scripts for the highlights. When the game is completed, the individual goes on camera to record his or her voiceover. Next, an editor takes the game feed and picks out the highlights, which go along with the anchor script. With both the highlights and voice over matched together, graphics are added and music for a complete package, which is then delivered to the SEC Digital Network website, where fans can watch their favorite teams.
