Screenfeed Puts Rio Games Feeds In Starter Blocks

June 13, 2016 by Dave Haynes

The subscription content service Screenfeed has developed a set of feeds to help viewers of digital signage networks stay in touch with events and results coming out of the Rio Olympics in a few weeks.

There are three channels available:

• Medal Standings – with a live medal count showing top-ranked countries, in addition to the subscriber’s home country;
• World Game-in-Pictures, which provides complete coverage of the athletes, competitions and happenings in Rio through HD images, title and short story summary, as with the medal count, in six languages;
• Social Stream – moderated social media posts from top athletes.

The feeds will be steadily updated throughout the event, in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Portuguese. The feeds will work with most digital signage platforms via Media RSS, Direct URL, HTML5 (animated) and even that old chestnut, .swf (Flash) files.
