Servecast, the leading provider of broadband
video solutions to the sports industry, will webcast
Cage Rage 18 on September 30th, the increasingly
popular martial arts format known as 'cage fighting'.
Cage Rage is enjoying enormous success in the
UK with a growing fan base and celebrity endorsements
at every event. Servecast first webcast Cage Rage
17 as a pay per view event in June of this year
and due to the large demand for the online video
service, Servecast have been employed to manage
the webcast of the next event this Saturday which
takes place in the Wembley arena.
Using its advanced Media Studio platform, Servecast
will host, stream and deliver the mixed martial
arts event live and will make the competition
available on an on-demand basis after the end
of the event. This is based on a ticket price
of £10 for pre-purchase, £15 for the
PPV on the day of the event and £5 for all
on-demand purchases after the event.
Servecast will also provide the branded console
from where the end user will view the content.
The console will also include a full payment gateway
to securely collect subscriptions and gather user
data as registrations for the service.
The production company behind the event, MBS
Productions, will use Servecast's advanced multimedia
management platform, Media Studio CMS, to manage
and upload any archived streaming media. MBS Productions
will also receive access to online reports and
detailed statistics of subscriptions to the broadband
event as well as a tailored revenue tracking system.
