When it comes to broadcasting high-traffic sporting events, connection matters in order to provide a great and memorable live fan experience. That’s why we took on a new challenge with @3 Sverige and Mobile Links Europe AB to bring the Stockholm Marathon to the silver screen – all with a supercharged 5G and network slicing 📡   Leveraging state-of-the-art @Ericsson equipment and the robust 3 Sverige 5G standalone network, the marathon’s lead vehicle seamlessly livestreamed the entire event, from beginning to end.   With the ability to optimize traffic through a slice configured to meet broadcasters’ specific needs in throughput, latency and security, network slicing technology allows us to provide a fast and flexible service, changing the way we watch live sporting events.   We’re transforming broadcasting with 5G network slicing.

Racking up almost one billion streaming minutes across the first two days of #Paris2024, WBD is already close to the 1.3 billion minutes it reported for the Tokyo Games. It's also set a new record for gross subscriber acquisitions in a single day across Europe - a necessary result for an event not obviously suited to an online subscription service. The big question, as we asked in our recent report The Paris 2024 Olympic Games: Faster, higher, stronger, and streamier (by Michael Frank, Kia Ling Teoh, Juan Villegas and me) is whether those who sign up for the two weeks of the games stay for the rest of the Max/Discovery+ offer? #olympics #warnerbrosdiscovery #olympics #omdia

With all eyes on Paris for the Olympic Games, Sisvel's Patrizia La Rosa takes us behind the scenes of France's flagship public broadcaster to explain how DVB technologies are enabling millions to watch all the action in 4K ultra-high definition. Many innovators have played a role in developing and deploying these technologies, including TDF, which uses the DVB-T2 standard to transmit ultra-HD signals from the Eiffel Tower and many other sites, and ENENSYS Technologies, which has deployed a DVB-SIS solution that makes satellite broadcasting much more efficient. This article is a great reminder that the vast improvements in live broadcast quality we all enjoy did not come about by chance – they are the product of relentless innovation and investment.

Who has been watching the #Paris2024 #Olympics? 🏆 The Paris Olympic Games are setting new standards in broadcasting with over 1000 cameras capturing 11,000 hours of content, the Olympics are more digitally connected than ever. Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) is using groundbreaking 4K HDR, 5.1.4 surround sound, cinema-style lenses, and even 8K for select events (if someone has an 8K television, let me know please). From AI-enhanced tracking to 5G streaming, the innovation is inspiring. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or a sports fan, these advancements are worth watching! https://lnkd.in/ekG2N8CH #Broadcasting

It’s great to see the world’s leading alliance of public service media boosting awareness of how to handle live signals for sports content distributed in HDR.   It’s feels a little odd though that the Eurovision Song Contest, one of the most high-profile live events in the world and one in which most EBU members participate, was produced this year in SDR.   Perhaps widening the guidance to broadcasters about how to manage HDR in their production and distribution chain, reminding them of the uplift to viewer experience it undoubtedly gives and the ongoing transition to increasing viewing via streaming platforms – will lead more to vote for a HDR Eurovision from Switzerland in 2025.   It’s also notable that EBU is stressing the challenge and opportunity in HDR coverage specific to remotely produced live sports events. Managing signals and maximizing even limited bandwidth from location is what Net Insight does best.   Some sports fans can see the Uefa Euros now and the Olympics this year in HDR, the latter with a UHD master format too 😊, but should attention also be turning to producing live sports in higher frame rates which will definitively produce greater clarity of fast-moving action on screen? https://lnkd.in/ejbc4QSs   #remoteproduction #hdr #uhdhdr #livesportsproduction

As we enter the new year, it is worth remembering some important events that happened in 2023. One such event is a recent project with Cignal TV, Inc.: Cignal TV, Inc., the leading Pay TV provider in the Philippines, required remote production capabilities for their expanding sports coverage starting with the FIBA tournament earlier this year. As a leader in engineering production systems and workflows, Cignal turned to Benchmark Broadcast Systems for a solution.   Benchmark’s engineering team collaborated with the Cignal team to develop a solution that would provide the capabilities that were required for Cignal’s rigorous requirements.   Benchmark arrived at a solution based upon the EVS XTGO. The solution consists of: - A pair of EVS XTGo live production systems controlled by LSM-Go for fast sports replay action. - IP Director, a Live Production Asset Management (PAM) suite IP Director for live media content browsing, control, editing and playout. - XTAccess, acting as central orchestrator for all job requests, and providing robust and high-speed transcoding operations. - Additionally, the solution proposed by Benchmark included Xeebra, a Multi Camera Review System with Video Assisted Referee (VAR) technology. This system was recently also deployed in Singapore to cover the FIBA G League.   Benchmark delivered, provisioned, and is providing support for the EVS ecosystem for Cignal, working closely with Cignal team during the event to provide comprehensive support both onsite and online.   Dodjie De Jesus, the Production Engineering Manager of CignalTV recently said, “The EVS system delivered by Benchmark has greatly enhanced Cignal’s sports production capabilities and has given us unparalleled functionality to cover events like FIBA. Cignal appreciates the work by the Benchmark Team.”   Said Ramesh Babu, CEO of Benchmark, “I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with the world class Cignal TV sports production team and congratulate the Philippines Benchmark team for a well-coordinated and successful implementation of the system.”   We look forward to more success stories such as this in the days to come. #VideoProduction #Broadcast #LiveProduction #LiveStream #BroadcastEngineering #BroadcastAsia #BroadcastSolutions #SportsBroadcast #BenchmarkBroadcast #Broadcasting #technology  Asia Video Industry Association APB+ (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting+) EVS Broadcast Equipment Cignal TV, Inc.
