Haivision technology provides low latency, flexible, and
reliable transport for Eurovision Sport's broadcast contribution
system
MONTREAL, April 20,
2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Haivision Systems
Inc. ("Haivision") (TSX: HAI), a leading global provider
of mission-critical, real-time video streaming and networking
solutions, today announced that Eurovision Sport, part of the
European Broadcasting Union (EBU), deployed Haivision
Hub and Makito X4 video encoders for their live
production workflows for the 2021/22 International Ski
Mountaineering Federation (ISMF) ski mountaineering season.
Eurovision Sport managed the production and live streaming of
selected races at eight events during the 2021/22 ISMF season. The
goal was to produce and deliver premium-quality live video content
to help build awareness of this rapidly growing and exciting sport
which will make its debut at the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
Eurovision Sport relied on Haivision Hub, Makito X and Makito X4
video encoders, as well as Haivision SRT Gateways to send live
feeds from PTZ cameras to EBU broadcasters' production centers for
broadcasting to both digital platforms and linear TV.
The EBU and its members are committed to offering sustainable,
low-cost, reliable, and high-quality solutions for live
broadcasting of a wide range of sporting events. To deliver on this
undertaking, Eurovision Sport is pioneering a hybrid approach of
cloud and edge technologies to produce live events.
By relying on the robust Haivision Hub cloud-native video
networking solution, Eurovision Sport can remotely manage Makito
encoders and route live video to multiple destinations. Using the
SRT protocol over the public internet, in place of satellite links,
Eurovision Sport can offer its media partners live content that it
can include in their local coverage and deliver to their audiences
watching on digital platforms as well as linear TV channels. With a
rapidly growing appetite for high-quality content, Eurovision Sport
plans to use this flexible approach for more live broadcasts of
sporting events.
"Haivision solutions, specifically Haivision Hub and Makito
video encoders and decoders, are at the heart of our contribution
system today," said Franck Choquard, Head of Content and Platforms
at Eurovision Sport. "We have chosen this technology because of its
reliability, ultra-low latency, and native support for SRT,
enabling interoperability with a broad range of systems, from
cameras to cloud-based mixers."
"As more broadcasters turn to cloud-based technologies to fuel
their live production workflows, Haivision technology is empowering
its customers with agile remote production of high-quality video
events," said Ghislain Collette,
Vice President, Product Management, Haivision. "Haivision Hub
enables broadcasters to produce events from anywhere with remote
fleet management of Makito video encoders and real-time video
routing over the internet, private IP networks, and the cloud."
