From 25 to 28 September 2026, Cognacq-Jay Image and BeNarative will be supporting Le Jour du Seigneur in its coverage of the Pope’s visit to France, with a set-up designed to produce, broadcast and promote live content on digital platforms (YouTube, JDS.tv, Facebook, etc.).
Over four days, several sources – notably Vatican Media, France 2 and the Host Broadcaster / TDH – will be combined with content and commentary produced by Le Jour du Seigneur’s editorial teams on the field.
Cognacq-Jay Image will be responsible for receiving and monitoring the feeds, which will power the live production setup operated in collaboration with BeNarative.
The system will also incorporate contributions from Le Jour du Seigneur journalists in Paris and Lourdes: reports and footage from the field, as well as live segments to enhance coverage as the event unfolds.
In addition to live multi-streaming, the workflow will enable the rapid creation of highlights using live clipping, so that the event’s key moments can be showcased as news stories develop. Content can also be adapted to the requirements of each platform: Ignifai will automate the vertical reframing of videos, optimizing them for mobile and social environments.
“For an event of this scale, our challenge is both to bring the live broadcast to life and to be able to publish the highlights very quickly across our various platforms. This system gives us the flexibility we need to adapt our content to new ways of consuming media, whilst allowing our editorial teams to remain focused on what sets us apart: telling the story of the event.” Florent de Carolis – Head of Digital Editorial, CFRT/Le Jour du Seigneur.
One live broadcast, multiple uses
The aim of the initiative is also to move beyond the mere immediacy of live broadcasting. Recorded feeds and generated clips can be reused after they have been broadcast, in order to extend the lifespan of the content and expand its range of uses.
This first project with Le Jour du Seigneur thus illustrates a more comprehensive approach to live broadcasting: centralising multiple sources, producing and broadcasting in real time, then rapidly transforming the content to make it available in formats suited to each channel.
This first collaboration also paves the way for future applications centred on live field contribution, live content leveraging, video clipping and AI.
