Verizon Business takes home top honors for its NHL broadcasting innovation at IBC2024
September 19 2024 - 9:00AM
Verizon Business won the IBC Innovation Award for the
implementation of Verizon Intelligent Broadcast Edge within the
National Hockey League’s (NHL®) broadcasting efforts. The solution
was demonstrated at NAB 2024 where event-goers were able to see
live productions featuring NHL content - including live NHL games
from across the United States - from the mini-broadcast studio in
the booth.
“The IBC Innovation Award recognizes outstanding technological
innovations that deliver real business and creative benefits, so
winning one is a significant achievement for us,” said Tim Stevens,
Global Leader of Strategic innovation, Media & Entertainment,
Verizon Business. “It showcases our successful collaboration with
the NHL and illustrates how we’re transforming the traditional live
production model.”
Verizon Intelligent Broadcast Edge enables an ultra low-latency
glass-to-glass workflow over Verizon’s 5G network. It delivers on
the promise of true end-to-end virtual production capabilities for
live sports and entertainment. Developed in conjunction with a
best-in-class mix of partners—including Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Zixi, Vizrt, Net Insight and Evertz—the solution allows the NHL to
streamline content distribution to Multichannel Video Programming
Distributors, social media channels and new platform partners,
ultimately improving audience engagement and unlocking new
opportunities for business growth.
“As the media landscape evolves, live events hold more value
than ever, but the technical demands on venues and broadcasters can
be immense,” said Grant Nodine, NHL SVP, Technology. “Our
partnership with Verizon Business on this solution has accelerated
the speed of on-ice content capture, reducing the delay from
seconds to milliseconds, and opens the door for new interactive
experiences. It’s part of our ongoing effort to find new ways to
enhance operations and continue bringing the incredible speed and
skill of on-ice NHL action to NHL fans globally.”
The expanded IBC Innovation Awards recognizes the best in
collaborative efforts to develop new solutions to real-world
technical challenges and to address social and environmental
issues.
