Streaming Sports Council Meeting (December 19, 2024)
On December 19th, 2024 at the SVG Summit in New York, the SVTA Streaming Sports Council kicked off with an inaugural meeting including 25 attendees, some of whom attended in person while others dialed in. During this initial gathering, the group discussed the council’s purpose and then dug into some of the technology challenges facing streaming live sports at scale. Some of the broad categories included multiple camera sources, camera ingestion, data overlays, content transport and packaging in real-time, and, of course, latency. But as the group talked about a variety of challenges, there began to emerge a desire to categorize the challenges so that they could be addressed more specifically and based on specific use cases.
