- Introduction
MKTG’s IPTV system manages the content on the hundreds of TV screens around Marvel Stadium. These screens are used for advertising as well as menus, way-finding and house-keeping.
As part of your venue hiring agreement, you will be able to host graphics across this screen as well as have the every day graphics themed to your look.
MKTG will be creating hundreds of these graphics with your branding.
The following are instructions for what we need from you to make this happen, and make the event feel completely yours.
If you require assistance understanding these specs or need help creating content, MKTG Studio is available to help.
- Holding Graphic
Firstly you will need to provide a full IPTV suite holding slide. This can be event specific or simply branded.
There are four graphic types required:
Render all graphics at the full 1920×1080 resolution. You must create all four formats to display properly.
Title safe: 60px around the edges of the screen.
Overhang: 50px. You may overhang a small amount of content on the L-Wrap, Strap and Side graphic.
These graphics can be images or short looping videos. Images should be .png files with alpha, video files should be .mp4s with the empty areas left black. IPTV video files are keyed out using a Luma key.
Anything that is perfect black will be keyed out, and the screens’ regular content displayed in the blank spaces. This means you can not use perfect black in your video designs or must dilute any blacks so they do not key out.
Do not fade to black at the start or end of your animation.
An After Effects template for checking the Luma key available here.

- Template Assets
Next you will need to provide some assets to MKTG so that we can roll-out hundreds of graphics to fufil the event in your style.
For the template you will need to provide the following assets:
- 1 x .zip file containing
- Fonts
- Logos with transparency
- Document describing brand guidelines
- +1 Plain backgrounds
Backgrounds can be images or short, basic looping videos. You may provide more than one background option.
Background graphics should be in your brand’s style, however don’t include any logos or text, as we will need to use all areas of the graphic.
MKTG will use these assets to create hundreds of slides for use around the stadium. Logos, text and graphics will be added onto the provided backgrounds in the style outlined in the .zip file.
