Genius Sports’ Post

The sports broadcast industry is continuing to evolve at a rapid pace as media right holders/owners look to maximise content assets across all distribution platforms and improve reach/monetisation. AI and automation flows are key to that discussion. Next week, I'll be part of a key conversation at #SportsProAI2024 to highlight how AI is helping sports broadcasters, federations, leagues to automate content, and grow their audience, no matter where they are in the world.

SSAI integrations show sports scale opportunities at NAB 2024 With the 2024 Paris Olympics looming large, sports were front of mind for attendees and exhibitors of the 2024 NAB Show. Further down the line, technical preparations are already being put in place for the 2026 World Cup soccer tournament, and where there are sports there is most certainly advertising. While big players like Brightcove, Harmonic, MediaKind and Synamedia were all showcasing in-house server-side ad insertion (SSAI) capabilities as part of their sports streaming processing and delivery packages, it is rare to come across ad tech specialists to have survived the evident scenes of industry consolidation. #sportsstreaming #SSAI #video

At #IBC2024, there was a strong focus on the importance of live content in driving audience engagement, both on streaming platforms and linear channels, alongside the increasing push for monetization. My colleague Jonathan Smith rightly pointed out in the article below that in the evolving landscape of live sports, producers must be agile and strategic. Securing valuable sports rights is just the beginning – the bigger challenge lies in maximizing ROI while minimizing risks. The overwhelming response to our latest Nimbra network-edge streaming appliance at IBC2024 was a highlight. The Nimbra 204 allows media companies to profitably monetize events that were previously cost-prohibitive by leveraging more affordable, high-efficiency technology. Another key area is network distribution. Broadcasters can now distribute content to affiliates over affordable, unmanaged networks, significantly cutting costs and simplifying media distribution. A strategic, well-planned live sports distribution approach, tailored to each market’s needs and risks, is essential to unlocking new revenue streams. #IBC2024, #CloudProduction #IPTrustBoundary #RemoteProduction #IBCShow #sportsbroadcasting #netinsightnimbra #remoteproduction #livecloudproduction Read more:
