Servecast powers LiverpoolFC.tv to another Internet first
Dublin, Ireland, 6 August 2003.
Servecast Limited, the leading international provider of
webcasting solutions today announced that it provided the
complete production and broadcast solution to enable LiverpoolFC.tv
achieve another Internet first.
Liverpoolfc.tv made history last week when they became the
first Premier League club to show live football from the Far
East on the Internet. LiverpoolFC.tv, the official website
of Liverpool Football Club, showed two matches exclusively
live on a pay per view basis on the internet. Neither match
was shown on television outside of the Far East so that the
only way the two matches from Liverpool's pre-season campaign
could be viewed was via the official Liverpool FC website.
From its Broadcast Operations Center in Dublin, Servecast
provided complete production and webcast facilities including
commentary, satellite, encoding, managed distribution and
security services to successfully deliver the live broadband
video streams to a global audience.
"Working closely with LiverpoolFC.tv over the last two
years we have endeavoured to constantly push the boundaries
of Internet broadcasting. This week we were delighted to achieve
another historic 'first' by helping LiverpoolFC.tv broadcast
their pre-season international matches live from Thailand
and Hong Kong to a global internet audience.", said Kevin
Quinn, founder of Servecast. "Our commitment to providing
leading edge technology solutions backed up by the largest
dedicated webcast R&D team and outstanding customer service
ensured that these events were a complete success"
