Broadcast applications

Since its creation, Trimaran has always designed and developed applications for television that generated 2D or 3D transmissions live. Olivier Emery, founder of the company, and 3D pioneer in France with IMAGIX-3D software, was behind the development of such applications as those for the weather report on the channel France 3 and election coverage for the channels TF1 and La 5 as early as the 80s when the first video broadcast cards were available.
The Trimaran development team is composed of several permanent engineers seconded by freelancers depending on the needs and volume of the projects undertaken. They can boast a solid experience in the matter in view of the numerous TV channel projects accepted both in France and abroad over the years.
