Media Studio™ Functionality

Live Broadcast
  We deliver highly resilient broadcasts of your sporting events. Our reliable, fully scaleable, dedicated streaming network is able to cope with flash crowds and can support any amount of concurrent streams with maximum up-time. We can also stream events such as live web cams and live interviews with sport celebrities.
On-demand Broadcast
  We can archive an unlimited amount of media content for your audience to access over the Internet, at their own convenience, enabling increased exposure for your media assets.

Live Webcasts, as well as traditional broadcasts, may also be offered as video-on-demand streams. These programs are captured and archived in one or more streaming media formats and placed on a streaming media server. Consumers can then access a Web page that links to the media, allowing them to watch an sporting event, match or a player interview at their convenience.

  Servecast provides a complete range of branded services for its customers. These media services include Featured Content such as Player Interviews, Press Conferences, Highlights & Goals, Reserves Footage and behind the scenes coverage.
Management of Broadcasting Rights
  Servecast understands the strict rules governing the broadcasting rights of Sporting events. We provide solutions for organizations to comply with these rules while ensuring maximum legal exposure of your content to your audience. Solutions include slide shows, delayed starts, static timed clips and geographical targeting.
