IPTV Distribution Technology Replaces RF Cable

Today, viewers at live events expect video experiences that replicate the quality they receive at home, even when they are on the go and inside the venues.

As a result, IP Video has emerged as a critical consideration for leaders responsible for new facility construction — as well as those who are updating existing venues. They are looking at IP Video for several reasons.

The first is that legacy RF technology is rigid and inflexible. It is a dedicated technology that cannot be readily redeployed to support different applications. By contrast, IP Video can be used to show the action on the field of play and then, with the push of a few buttons, be adapted to promote offerings available at concessions stands or enhance crowd management by providing directions.

As a result, a growing number of leaders responsible for building or refurbishing stadiums are focused on using scalable, modular technologies, like IP Video, to distribute video content over various networks, including over-the-top (OTT) infrastructures, intranets, and public internet resources. IP Video systems broaden the ability of event organizers to tailor experiences to different users across various scenarios and situations.

Another reason has to do with consumer expectations. The people themselves are indeed driving demand for both ubiquity (they want access to content from anywhere) and personalization (they want to experience content on the device — and in the format — that they choose).

Enhance the onsite experience
with IP Video

Outdoor stadiums and indoor arenas hosting different entertainment events can be enormous. Despite their size, venues struggle to meet demand for seats.

As a result, even expensive seats can have obstructed views. By increasing the number of screens throughout the stadium, IP Video can enhance the viewer experience or enable people to enjoy live content on their personal devices because Wi-Fi or wired can display live events anywhere in the venue.

Additionally, IP Video can offer more than just video; it can deliver digital signage to show scores as well as provide interactive maps and wayfinding services for out-of-town visitors who may not be familiar with the local geography. This helps attendees find amenities and navigate the stadium, which is crucial for large venues hosting multiple events.

IP Video also plays a crucial role in public safety at these events because video is a universal language that can effectively communicate and engage with people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

IP Video screens can quickly switch from showing action on the field to displaying simple, intuitive warning signs or directional indicators to ensure venue safety for everyone, regardless of language. Moreover, IP Video systems enable centralized management of these messages, ensuring timely and accurate communication.
