BINAUdoc is a series of short films experimenting with a singular writing style with an innovative recording technique: binaural sound. Discover two short documentaries to bless your ears!

At the request of the directors of the documentary series, Isabelle Clarke and Daniel Costelle, and in the current health context, France Télévisions has set up a remote editing solution.

Teleworking being privileged in the current context, the engineers of the technology department of France Televisions have developed a solution allowing the technicians of the broadcast control room to be able to do remote editing.

France Télévisions is partnering with students from Centrale Supélec and the company Wewyse to conduct research on Artificial Intelligence. Eventually, these new technologies will make it possible to detect the intention associated with a sentence. But first, the device must be fed with examples so that it can use its computing power to determine whether a sentence is spoken in a tone of joy or anger, for example.

A new type of production control room, two OB Van and a mobile control room are currently under study at France Télévisions.

Tech-i, the technical journal of the European Broadcasting Union devotes an article to the work carried out by France Télévisions on artificial intelligence during the municipal elections in March 2020.

The health crisis has led France Télévisions' engineering to accelerate the deployment of technical solutions that limit the presence of employees on site, and news editing is not an exception. During the first containment, a technical solution that we are familiar with was used, namely the device that accompanies nomadic editors: a macBookpro on which Adobe Première is installed. This device, set up in an emergency, has reached its limits. Another solution was therefore devised for the autumn for the production of the head office news: national editions, Franceinfo and Paris Ile de France, here is the principle.

France Télévisions was for the second consecutive year a partner of SATIS, which took the form of a webTV between 23 and 27 November. You can access the videos of the conferences and interviews and films on the main themes related to television technologies.

During the Roland-Garros 2020 tournament, France TV presented several demonstrations of augmented tennis. This blog describes the technical details of the project.

The European Broadcasting Union awarded its 2020 Innovation Prize to France Télévisions for its research work on artificial intelligence carried out during the municipal elections.
