Teradek’s prism broadcast encoder brings in-car streams to supercars fans https://news.broadfield.com/teradeks-prism-broadcast-encoder-brings-in-car-streams-to-supercars-fans/ Tue, 18 Mar 2025 17:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=31224 In this article from TM Broadcast, Teradek showcases how its cutting-edge technology was instrumental in delivering real-time, in-car streaming for the Supercars Championship in Australia. The goal was to create an immersive experience for fans by streaming live footage from inside 25 race cars, allowing viewers to witness the action as if they were in the cockpit. To achieve this, Teradek collaborated with Chris Beaumont, Head of IT at Supercars, to tackle several challenges, including network congestion in crowded venues, power consumption, and seamless integration with existing race infrastructure.

Teradek’s solution centered around its Prism Mobile encoder, which provided high-quality H.265 video transmission, and Node modems, which ensured stable connectivity by leveraging LTE and 5G across three Australian carriers—Vodafone, Optus, and Telstra. These devices were integrated with Teradek Core, a cloud-based platform that managed the video streams, and the Teradek Core API, which automated workflow aspects such as stream activation and reconnection. One key innovation was a safety feature that cut power to the devices based on g-force measurements, ensuring compliance with race regulations. Despite the challenge of high-speed racing, the biggest technical hurdle was managing connectivity within a venue packed with 50,000 spectators on mobile networks. The use of bonded cellular services significantly improved reliability and performance.

The implementation process involved meticulous planning and collaboration with the Supercars commission. Each race car was equipped with the necessary hardware and pre-configured for easy activation. On race day, a single operator could initiate all live streams with one click, thanks to API automation. Video feeds were transmitted to Teradek Core, where they were processed and distributed via Brightcove CDN. Post-event, the system allowed for data retrieval and replay analysis, further refining the workflow for future races. Fans could engage with the experience through the Supercars app’s Shotgun feature, which provided cockpit views, real-time telemetry data, and immersive audio, making the races more interactive and engaging.

The switch to Teradek’s solutions resulted in significant benefits for Supercars, including cost-effective and automatic live streaming, seamless connectivity across multiple carriers, and improved video quality. The ability to configure settings on the fly, combined with the API-driven automation, simplified management and troubleshooting. Additionally, the system enabled enhanced replay capabilities, making it easier for analysts and commentators to provide insights into race performance. Ultimately, the integration of Teradek’s technology transformed the Supercars Championship’s broadcasting capabilities, delivering an unparalleled viewing experience for motorsports fans.

Cornell’s search for a robust video feed solution led him to Teradek’s Prism Mobile and Core Cloud Platform. This technology, typically used in the film industry, provided Lafayette’s police force with real-time, high-quality video streams from drones and helicopters. The devices are easy to install, work seamlessly with helicopters and drones, and provide critical video streams via 5G connections. As a result, this system allowed authorities to collaborate more effectively across different jurisdictions, leading to the creation of the East Bay Interagency Video Network.

The implementation of Teradek’s technology had immediate success, such as aiding in the rescue of an injured kite surfer in San Francisco Bay. The real-time video feed gave rescue teams, including the Coast Guard and local fire departments, a clear view of the incident, drastically improving response coordination. This breakthrough has allowed Bay Area public safety agencies to share live video feeds securely, fostering collaboration and enhancing situational awareness. The new system allows different agencies to view the same information simultaneously, promoting cooperation and ensuring the best possible outcomes during emergencies.

In this article from Teradek, the spotlight is on the remarkable impact of the Prism 5G Encoder in transforming live race car streaming at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). COTA is a world-renowned motorsport venue, known for hosting major events like Formula 1 and NASCAR, but the unique challenges of the track—such as elevation changes and network congestion—have historically posed significant difficulties for live broadcasting, especially when it comes to in-car video feeds.

The case study highlights the work of Jeffrey Hart and Ryan Randels, seasoned directors and video engineers responsible for producing live broadcasts at the Super Lap Battle event at COTA. Their expertise has been crucial in delivering engaging live shows, but they’ve long struggled with the limitations of existing wireless video systems, which often led to frequent signal dropouts during high-speed races. These disruptions forced them to be on high alert, ready to switch feeds at any moment to maintain the broadcast.

Seeking a more reliable solution, Jeffrey and Ryan turned to Teradek, who provided them with the Prism Mobile 5G Backpack. This advanced piece of equipment, equipped with multiple 5G modems and SIM cards, was mounted inside the race cars to capture live video from various perspectives. The feeds were then transmitted over Teradek’s Core Cloud orchestration platform, allowing for seamless integration with the broadcast workflow. The system’s ability to handle the demanding conditions of in-car streaming at high speeds was revolutionary, offering unparalleled reliability and quality.

The result was a flawless and uninterrupted broadcast, a stark contrast to the 30% success rate of previous systems. The new technology not only enhanced the viewing experience by keeping audiences engaged but also protected the stream from disruptions that could have led to significant viewer loss and decreased advertising revenue. This success story underscores the potential of the Prism Mobile 5G Backpack to set a new standard in live event streaming, particularly in challenging environments like motorsport.

Behind the Scenes: How Teradek Powered the Pulse of a Music Festival https://news.broadfield.com/behind-the-scenes-how-teradek-powered-the-pulse-of-a-music-festival/ Tue, 27 Feb 2024 18:00:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=27909 BC Live Productions faced a significant challenge when tasked with delivering high-quality, reliable Program feeds from three different stages at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, a sprawling venue with a capacity of up to 80,000 attendees. The venue’s vast expanse and intermittent internet connection posed streaming challenges, making sustaining high-quality and consistent streaming over multiple days a formidable task.

To address this challenge, BC Live leveraged Teradek’s Prism Flex encoders and Core orchestration platform. Prism Flex encoders were placed at each stage’s control room, transmitting feeds seamlessly across diverse locations for monitoring, including local production offices, artist trailers and private event spaces, LED towers around the festival grounds, and off-site monitoring locations. All Prism Flex devices were managed using Core’s on-premise Hyperion server, optimizing bandwidth by keeping everything local and ensuring high-quality streaming.

Core Workspaces were set up with security measures, allowing specific individuals to monitor artists’ performances from local production offices. User-friendly AppleTV4K decoders running the Core Share app were placed at each production station, enabling viewers to easily select which stage to monitor. BC Live also created a custom multiview of all stages and local weather stats, adding it to the Core Workspace using an additional Prism Flex encoder.

For private spaces like the artists’ area, BC Live utilized SRT with a multi-channel decoder, enabling a local technician to switch between stages on multiple screens while feeding the corresponding audio mix into the PA system. LED tower displays strategically positioned across the festival grounds received point-to-point transmissions via Prism Flex decoders, showcasing ads, on-stage feeds, and important messages for festival-goers.

By centralizing all devices on a single VLAN and orchestrating management through an on-premise Core Hyperion server, BC Live optimized infrastructure, requiring minimal internet bandwidth and maintaining the festival’s ISP requirements at a low and budget-friendly level. Hunter Britanisky, Technical Producer at BC Live, praised the Prism and Core solutions as the “Goldilocks solution” to their technical demands, enabling them to transmit all Program feeds with low latency and minimal bandwidth while having remote management through Core.

In conclusion, BC Live Productions successfully delivered an efficient and top-tier production experience at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, instilling confidence among show technicians and allowing everyone to concentrate on the captivating performances unfolding on stage, thanks to the seamless integration of Teradek’s Prism and Core solutions.
