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.
The simplex channel player is optimized for integration into a responsive website and automatically adapts to the available width of the screen. This ensures optimal presentation and operability on different devices.
The simplex Channel Player transforms the website into a modern multimedia center with multiple channels. In addition to the current live games, visitors will quickly find the latest videos in the overview.
Through a search in the channels you can quickly find the videos of your favorite team or a video for a specific date.
Live and on-demand video will show commercials before the actual video content.
The simplex player supports the VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) standard of the IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau). This standard defines the communication between the video player and the ad server, delivers the scheduled commercials, and provides the appropriate reporting for advertisers.
Swiss Unihockey supplies the incoming video signals as well as further information about the teams and games via a programming interface. The video project is automatically supplemented with the correct preview image and other game information and processed for presentation on the video portal.
