Read MoreMajor Sports League Controls Live Ad Breaks with Real-Time SCTE Triggering
A Major North American Sports League needed a solution to guarantee their broadcasts did not go to an ad break when the action was still happening, and also to ensure roll-to-break accurately occurred during time-out or during intermission with appropriate durations. They decided to deploy TSL control panels (USP) and TSL SCTE applications in every arena, with an operator able to decide when to trigger ad breaks. Downstream, playout channels receive the embedded SCTE signal and take actions based on what the person at the arena is seeing and inserting into the live feed. The result is a system that keeps operators informed of events as they happen and gives them the ability to overcome issues more efficiently in real-time, as well as retrospectively review them.
