Reshaping sports production for the modern era of OTT
For sports broadcasts considering a more sustainable business model in a post-COVID-19 world, they’d be wise to explore a few new ideas, starting with remote and cloud.
How do you build a live stream brand and own your look and feel?
If you neglect branding you risk being anonymous, making it even harder to retain viewers and secure sponsors. Investing in your brand can elevate your content above your competitors.
The evolution of live graphics tech
The evolution of live graphic technologies and how future technologies are reshaping the way we think about producing graphics for live broadcasting.
The future of live sports graphics
Since the strike of COVID-19, traditional sports broadcasters have adopted cloud-based workflows at a very high pace as compared to the situation before.
The return of remote broadcasting
Games may come back, but the announcers won’t necessarily return with them. After NASCAR restarts with a remote booth, could more leagues adopt the same approach?
LIGR - Values, Voice and Promises
We have spent the last 3 years listening and learning from our customers, putting together what we truly believe will create a business with culture and values we are proud of.
Can 'remote production' help sports events stay alive?
'Remote production' offers hope to take sports broadcasting forward through today’s troubling times.
Live sports' new global voices in remote commentary boxes
The distributed production space is proving its value as sports broadcasting refocuses now and into the future.
