GV Gaming & Polling
The Next Generation of Participation TV
Grass Valley is excited to launch GV Gaming and Polling suites to deliver gaming and polling solutions to our users, with solutions focused at different market segments from local, through regional and national/enterprise scale. These new solutions deliver real-time gaming and polling solutions on TV, second screen, social and mobile platforms.
Broadcast has always been a one-way communication to the viewer. With GV Gaming and Polling, users can interactively engage with their viewers to create a real-time dialogue within their live programming. Viewers become part of the program, not passive watchers.
GV Gaming & Polling is a cloud-based live gaming and polling platform....

SMS & IVR Voting
- Viewers have the option to text a response regarding a pre-determined pool of answers (for example, a viewer may text 1 for yes, 2 for no, or 3 for maybe)
