Technological innovations highlight new broadcasts

Oceanic Time Warner Cable will kick-off the new season of live O‘ahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) football broadcasts on OC16 with a virtual technology system that will create a variety of new enhancements for OIA games.

Using the same technology that appears on NFL and national college broadcasts, Oceanic will bring the virtual 10-yard chalk line, graphics and video overlays to OIA football viewers starting with the live broadcast of Kahuku vs. Waianae from Aloha Stadium on August 29.

“This is the first time in history that a virtual technology system will be provided for OIA sports broadcasts in Hawaii,” said Nate Smith, president of Oceanic Time Warner Cable.

“It’s a win-win situation for everyone, bringing added value to both our viewers and advertisers.”

The new innovative technology is designed to turn Oceanic’s broadcasts of live OIA sports into original, exciting experiences by enhancing live and instant replay videos with tied-to-the-field commentary, animation, Jumbotron screens and banners.

While fans in the stadium will only see the action on their television screens.

Oceanic presents OIA football live every Friday night throughout the season on OC16, which is located on Channel 16 for both analog and digital cable subscribers.

OC16 has been bringing OIA high school sporting action to Hawaii viewers for more than 14 years.

Oceanic currently delivers a diverse selection of entertainment and information services by way of an advanced fiber optic/coax network to over 388,000 households, schools, and businesses on O‘ahu, Mau‘i, Kaua‘i, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i and the Big Island.

The company has provided quality services for Hawaii residents since 1969.

Oceanic Time Warner Cable is the 13th largest system in the U.S. and its parent company, Time Warner Entertainment, LLP, is a major developer of entertainment and information content.
