Check out the program for the next Sports Streaming Summit at 流媒体东部2020.

Read the complete transcript of this clip:

员工本Gabrielson: I specifically work in the of college and university ranks within LiveU. We work with a lot of schools--Oklahoma being one-- a lot of the Power Fives, but specifically the Ivy leagues is what we'll of talk about today, 以及他们利用它的方式. They've done everything from the Olympic sports, which are so big at that kind of level in collegiate athletics, 滑雪和划船. On the rowing side, they'll have a drone going. They've got some cams on the boats, on the finish line. So they've kind of got them sporadically tossed around there as well.

特洛伊德雷尔: So, when you're doing Harvard rowing, what does the full setup look like? 我的意思是, where are the cameras, and how many operators do you have?

员工本Gabrielson: 他们做四组动作. 一个是无人机本身, 一个在船上, 一个在终点线, and then one at the very start of the race. They actually have a really cool setup because they to kind of do the at home or 远程生产 style where all of their directors and producers and graphics and all that actually back on campus. So they'll bring it all back to campus, obviously dirtied up there. They actually have a really cool alumni boathouse I think on onsite as well. 所以他们把它带回来, 生产它, 流媒体到ESPN+, 但是他们也, then we'll send that feed back to the boathouse for those that are viewing--the alumni that are onsite watching and tracking the race as well. So, they not only stream it out live to someone like an ESPN, 但是他们也, kind of bring it again back in-house for those to see the production as well that are there.

特洛伊德雷尔: For something like this, is latency crucial as it is for like the major league sports?

员工本Gabrielson: 是也不是. 我是说，这要看情况. Is in this specific case, not as much. 我的意思是, especially that program that's going out to ESPN+, there's only a few people that are actually on site for that event. So there's no real social media spoilers in that case, so they can bump that latency up to 10, 15秒. But we've seen a couple of schools that will go in the one-to-three-second range and obviously that puts a little bit more stress in our case, on the cell modems obviously that are bonding together. But you can go anywhere from sub-second to 20 seconds. Usually they'll live about the 10-to-12-second range in that case.
