Accelerating File Transfers in Live Sports Production

 

Summary

Producing live sporting event coverage has been, and continues to be, a challenging proposition for broadcasters especially with 4K resolution becoming commonplace, 8K on the near horizon and the continuing adoption of Virtual Reality (VR). With multiple cameras producing massive video files, moving all the uncompressed files for in-studio editing can be extremely challenging, especially as the distance between the event and editing room increases. Even with high bandwidth lines and accelerated managed file transfer solutions, obstacles may still remain.

In this webinar, President and Co-founder John Tkaczewski discusses the challenges broadcasters are faced with and how accelerated file transfers are their best bet for delivering the best content.
