Pokertronic Automated TV Production Equipment

Pokertronic's equipment generates poker video with hole cards and winning percentages on the fly, for live-to-tape or streaming video productions. OCR is used to recognize the hole cards. Pokertronic found RFID recognition of bets to be too expensive, so bets must be input manually (see however our previous coverage of RFID solutions: 1, 2). Pokertronic's system isn't available for sale yet, but it will be available for long-term lease (at least one year) in the first quarter of 2010. Currently they offer taping in their German studio or travel to clients' locations (about 8,000 Euro for a one-day show with travel). Below is a screenshot from their live stream of WPT Venice.
