The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world. In 2006, there were an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final, and just think about how viewing habits have changed since then. How many people will watch in 2010? With new geographical challenges in place, are you prepared to collaborate with your partners in order to deliver this content to viewers via every medium possible? Are you able to seamlessly ingest, aggregate and distribute content around the globe and back again? Signiant can help.
Signiant partnered with NBC during the 2008 Summer Olympics to transfer 2,200 hours of VOD content as well as 3,000 hours of highlights, rewinds, encores and scoring results. This was done using 54 automated workflows which transferred and tracked each file as it moved between 11 different companies including CDNs, subsidiaries and post-production partners.
Listen in to this webinar to learn how NBC moved more than 100 terabytes of data during the event by using Signiant, and in just 21 days streamed more than 9.9 million hours of online video to its viewers.
The webinar also covers other sports-related case studies including the National Football League and the National Hockey League. The session wraps up with a brief question & answer session.
