🏅 EXCITING ERA FOR ENHANCED SPORTS BROADCASTING EXPERIENCE As a Google Cloud partner, Tape Ark | Global Experts in Tape to Cloud Migration's hold a large role in fueling the media and entertainment boom by moving a significant collection of tape-based sports video to the cloud, giving fans unparalleled access to historical footage whilst providing further monetisation avenues for broadcasters. Tape Ark was recently called on by "one of the world's largest sports broadcasters" to migrate its historical collections of sports footage to the cloud using Google Cloud's Video On Demand (VOD) streaming technology. Historically, broadcasters have relied on tapes for storing and managing large content collections due to their low cost, high durability, and energy efficiency. By moving it to the cloud, the broadcaster will be able save time and money on the maintenance of the collection including the legacy tape infrastructure, software licenses, data center space, and its associated power and cooling costs, as well as the physical management of their on-premise systems. Additionally, the broadcaster will now have access to utilise artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies for new analyses of the footage. A recent industry article 👇 quoted Tape Ark Founder & CEO Guy C. Holmes “Content sitting idle on tape media is an asset that needs to be liberated to the cloud to take full advantage of the opportunities it presents. This is not only the case for sports content, but also for news, health, research, weather, banking, and insurance to name just a few." The cloud ingests we perform (this project equated to more than 40 petabytes of video) benefit broadcasters and viewers alike, by making more content available for streaming 🌨 https://lnkd.in/gD6w9Uvv #NoMoreTape #AI #ArtificalIntellegence #Innovation #CloudMigration #GlobalSolutions #DataRevolution #DataSolutions #DisasterRecovery #CloudMigration #tapestorage

Tape Ark | Global Experts in Tape to Cloud Migration together with our friends at Google Cloud have done it again. Another 10Pb of content of sports spanning 5 sports and multiples seasons has been liberated so that AI and ML can make use of our history to make new discoveries. Was it really Joey Meyer who hit the longest home run ever? https://lnkd.in/gJe6rCb6 Did anyone ever throw a fastball faster than Aroldis Chapman at 105.8mph? https://lnkd.in/gZhYkQM6 Well, using our historical content combined with cutting edge sports analytics and AI, maybe we can change history (or at least update it)? Tape Ark loves this stuff. Get your data REALLY looked at with the power of the cloud. #NoMoreTape #AI #ML #Google #TapeArk

Helping broadcasters create fully operational TV channels within hours | CEO & Co-Founder @Evrideo | 20+ years in tech leadership
Imagine the thrill of a Formula 1 race, where every second counts, and 1.5TB of data is produced in each race. Now, picture live-streaming this high-octane event. Traditional broadcasting? A logistical nightmare. But with cloud live production tech, it's a different story. Here's why: 1. Seamless channel switching When it comes to sports, you never want to miss *the* moment and cloud tech makes this possible. You can easily go from one event highlight to another, just like flipping through TV channels from your couch. It's a simple, smooth, and seamless experience. 2. Content repurposing Capturing those heart-pounding moments and instantly adding them to a content library? Done. Cloud tech allows for swift repurposing, keeping the excitement alive across different platforms. 3. Low-latency broadcasting In live sports, every second counts. With cloud live production you don't have to worry about delay when delivering real-time action. This means that viewers get to see every thrilling turn and pass as it happens, just like they would if they were trackside, at the heart of the action. 4. Real-time analytics and feedback Cloud-live production can provide real-time analytics on viewer engagement and feedback, so why not take the advantage of it? It allows broadcasters to make instant adjustments to the content and further enhance the live viewing experience. 5. Adjusting for different outputs Just like F1 manages diverse data streams for TV, mobile, or web, cloud tech adapts content effortlessly for different outlets. It's like a front-row experience for every fan, regardless of their device. Cloud-based broadcasting for live sports events changes how we experience every thrilling moment of the game and keeps the spirit of sports alive in every broadcast. #sportsbroadcasting #cloudtechnology #cloudbroadcasting

In a significant collaboration, Twitch, NVIDIA, and OBS have joined forces to introduce Enhanced Broadcasting, a feature set to transform the streaming experience for all content creators. Enhanced Broadcasting is an initiative that allows streamers to encode and send up to three concurrent streams at different resolutions and bitrates. This capability is a step towards inclusivity, ensuring viewers with various internet speeds can enjoy streams without buffering issues. The vision is to expand this to five streams, covering the spectrum from 480p to 4K. Automatic Configuration in OBS: Streamers can say goodbye to the complexities of manual configuration. Enhanced Broadcasting will automatically optimize OBS settings, tailoring them to the streamer’s PC capabilities and upload bandwidth. Why This Matters for Streamers and Twitch: - Equality in Streaming: With Enhanced Broadcasting, streamers of all statuses can provide multiple quality settings, democratizing stream quality. - Reduced Latency: Streamers handling their own transcoding means content reaches viewers faster, fostering better chat interaction and a more ‘live’ feel. - Cost Efficiency: Twitch can potentially reduce the resources spent on transcoding, as streamers take on some of this workload using their own encoders. The closed beta also includes experiments with the HEVC and AV1 codecs, which could lead to higher-quality streaming at the same or lower bitrates. This is particularly relevant as Twitch aims to support higher resolutions. Additionally, this shift in transcoding responsibility could lead to significant cost savings for Twitch, following their recent decision to cease operations in South Korea due to the high costs of transcoding. This collaboration marks a forward-thinking update that benefits streamers, viewers, and Twitch alike. While currently tailored for NVIDIA users, I expect Twitch and OBS to extend support to other encoders like those from AMD and Intel, making Enhanced Broadcasting more accessible. However, the current combined bitrate cap of 10 Mbps does raise some concerns. With the integration of more efficient codecs like AV1 and HEVC, I’m hopeful for an increase in this limit to truly harness the potential of these advanced codecs. Enhanced Broadcasting is currently in closed beta, and Twitch invites creators to contribute to its development. Interested streamers can sign up through the Creator Dashboard.
