Volleyball World has consulted with LiveU to provide a cost-effective forthe 2022 global beach volleyball tournament for viewers from all around the world.
It’s not surprising that LiveU provided a fully managed end-to-end IP distribution service for the just concluded seasonal beach volleyball tour event in Mexico using LiveU Matrix and LiveU multi-cam LU800 field units, the company has been making strides to support multiple tournaments all through 2022.
This is evident in the response of Finn Taylor, CEO of Volleyball World, ‘’Beach Pro Tour tournaments are held all over the world meaning the look and feel of each competition can change weekly. With the help and support of LiveU, a lot of work has been done to solidify the event presentation and ensure consistency for those who are watching the broadcast at home.’’
While most of the takers were already LiveU users, for those who weren’t, it was easy to quickly establish a cloud server. Indeed, during the event, there were takers (broadcasters and others) who wanted a feed as the tournament progressed. LiveU also offered the ability to distribute the signal beyond broadcasters in other formats.
Motasem El Bawab, Head of Digital, Volleyball World, said, «From the start we wanted the Beach Pro Tour to be an end-to-end digital product for the fans and our stakeholders, using LiveU and their fully managed service. Those working across sports will know the huge complexity and impact of traditional distribution methods. LiveU negated all of that. From start to finish this event ran exactly as it should have done. And that’s not to mention the very considerable cost savings over traditional distribution methods. We are very impressed with LiveU and want to expand our architecture and offerings to other events».
