In its second season, these fans The European Football League are accessing this content live and on-demand.
To meet this need and reach more potential viewers, the League relies on its technology partner, LOGIC media solutions and novel media, to provide the VoD streams of the matches through the PORTAL.easystream solution.
This system is a frontend that facilitates access and maintenance of live streams through AWS. The streams are recorded, transcoded and then made available to VoD channels for subscribers of the League’s Game Pass or other streaming partners in different language versions. This entire workflow has been automated as much as possible.
The workflow within PORTAL.easystream is configured so that recording starts automatically as soon as a stream is received. This recording is generated as a growing TS file, and transcoding starts as soon as the incoming stream stops. The system picks up the finished PGM signal, dubbed with different languages. Depending on the games or content destinations, German, English, Spanish, Polish or Turkish versions are offered. During transcoding in PORTAL, both an MPEG-4 file and an MXF file are generated in different language versions.
The streams are automatically exported in the desired language versions to various file servers or streaming service providers and thus made available to other content users.
The PORTAL frontend is browser-based and connects the delivered streams with the AWS MediaServices.
“With novel media and LOGIC media solutions, we have two excellent partners who stand for reliability in the production and quality of live matches,” adds Zeljko Karajica, founder of the League.
