Description

LiveArenaSports produces around 250,000 live sport broadcasts a year from roughly 2,500 arenas across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, mostly grassroots and lower-tier games, with no production crew at all.

To take on the higher tiers, we have built a new production platform with GStreamer at its core. It covers what a manual crew does: multicam switching, replays and slow motion, graphics overlays, commentary mixing and ads. It is fully API-driven, scales horizontally, and runs in the cloud or on edge servers in the arena.

In this lightning talk I'll briefly show how GStreamer fits into the system, and what comes next

Speaker Bio

Johan Gustavsson is CTO at Sportway and LiveArenaSports in Sweden/Stockholm, where the team automates live sports production at scale, keeping thousands of broadcasts a day running with no one at the controls.
