Using Bitmovin’s Live Encoder, TISA’s clients can deliver content as live-streaming experiences through high-quality video/audio outputs on a resilient, reliable platform.
TISA in Switzerland designs and supplies digital systems for content delivery, fan engagement and social media for sports organizations. Their clients take advantage of these systems to build new business strategies, learn to work with modern techniques and services, and engage with design. In particular, sports clubs can use TISA’s OTT services as they develop media centres with exclusive VOD content, encouraging fan loyalty and, from there, revenue growth.
TISA has recently adopted the Bitmovin Live Encoder as part of its services. Deploying Bitmovin’s encoder means that TISA’s clients can deliver their content as live-streaming experiences, through high-quality video and audio outputs on a resilient, reliable platform. It ingests RTMP/s, SRT or Zixi inputs and generates packaged HLS and DASH outputs. Its support for SCTE-35 makes it compatible with various revenue strategies and able to support regular ad monetization models, ranging from 24/7 linear television channels to Free Ad-supported Television (FAST) channels. Multiple DRM integrations are available as well.
The Encoder can be used to scale delivery out to a very wide range of devices and platforms, and instantly generate live-to-VOD content. Users can also apply adaptive bitrate streaming to play content in different environments, and support multiple codecs including H.264, HEVC and VP9.
“Live sport is a fast-moving world, and providers need high-performance combined with reliability to deliver engaging user experiences to audiences,” said Kamil Rzeźnicki, Chief Product Officer at TISA. “After evaluating several options, we found Bitmovin's encoding process to be very reliable and well-suited to our needs, especially given its strong reputation in the media and entertainment industries. Its straightforward approach made it a practical choice for integration into our platform.”
Bitmovin’s Live Encoder has several advantages for TISA, including transcoding that ensures high-quality video streaming across all devices, which meets TISA's own standards for premium content delivery. Furthermore, Bitmovin’s Live Encoder stands out as a live encoding SaaS platform that allows users to launch thousands of live channels or events in multiple cloud vendors globally at any time, with content owners able to distribute across multiple CDNs.
Consequently, the flexibility and scalability of Bitmovin’s Live Encoder, together with TISA’s systems, will help customers simplify video streaming workflows and minimise infrastructure costs.
“We’ve been significantly expanding our footprint in the sports world. Our live encoder has been a game changer for several players in the space by ensuring they can confidently deliver live streams running on a reliable live encoder that is proven in the market,” said Stefan Lederer, CEO and co-founder of Bitmovin,
“TISA has developed an adaptable streaming platform tailored to the needs of sports organizations, as well as automated production for event recording, and marketplace services for streaming and matchday support. With these products, alongside their international list of sports clients, we’re excited that TISA has chosen our live encoder to build live streaming experiences.” www.bitmovin.com
