Rapid TV News’ recent article written by Joseph O’Halloran goes over how the LiveU Solo wireless video encoders helped succeed in live streaming every National Basketball League (NBL) of Australia state basketball game. LiveU Solo video encoders offersthe best-in-class plug and play™ live streaming bonding solution, bringing LiveUs broadcasting expertise to the online media market.
LiveU helped the NBL gain 733,000 game views with over 16.2 total minutes watched of NBL1 live streams. LiveU Solo encoders were deployed at arenas all across Australia. LiveU’s cloud platform helped stream to online platforms which led fans to watch over 900 NBL1 games.
“LiveU has been a gamechanger for Australian basketball, enabling us to engage sports fans nationwide with exciting, high-quality live coverage for the best video experience. We had a dream to deliver NBL1 games from states around Australia and LiveU’s 4G bonded IP technology made it possible, enabling us to stream reliably from every venue, at any time, removing our previous single point of failure issue.”

“The set-up has been unbelievably simple, requiring minimal training for our ground staff – one training session with the kits and they’re ready to go! Live streaming the games has strengthened the NBL1 brand and generated a steep rise in interest in basketball. We’ve managed to increase the number of eyeballs online using cost-effective production. Currently, we have 75 Solo units, and this number is set to increase to over 100 for the upcoming season. Both single camera and multi-camera workflows have been set up in different arenas, as part of a cloud-based remote production solution, which has enabled us to manage everything from a central location. The Solo units are seamlessly integrated with our Canon cameras, tripods on the ground and other production equipment centrally, including graphic overlays and commercial integration.”
