The live broadcast of sports events on the Internet is popular and increases the range enormously. The recording for later viewing (on-demand) not only provides the team with the basis for later discussions, but also offers equal opportunities for teams analyzing the opponent's style of play. For this reason, it is desirable in the professional field, all games as live and ondemand video on the Internet (streaming) and store in a video portal.
The technologies used place different demands on the operability and the production processes are partly associated with great manual effort. It lacks a uniform, centralized system that meets the demands of marketing to the visual appearance and statistical evaluations. The increasing demands of the spectators as well as the increasing demands on the technical infrastructure and the associated costs pose major challenges for the sports association.
