DMN Newswire - July 18, 2011 - Conference USA Commissioner, Britton Banowsky, announced a major HD Broadcast production and distribution initiative that will enable more live games to be available on broadcast, spearheaded by Associate Commissioner, Kelly Carney.
C-USA produced two Rice baseball games in HD, using the NewTek TriCaster 850 and 3Play instant replay unit, and distributed over the public Internet, using Haivision encoders/decoders and ZiXi transport software. The games were broadcast simultaneously on the CBS Sports Network, using satellite delivery.
Conference USA pushed for the test in order to break new ground with technology, and eventually enable more C-USA sports to reach consumers through traditional and IP delivery that can be supported through ad sales and sponsorship. Carney tapped college sports industry veteran, Tom Buffolano, to put together an end-to-end solution, which had no blueprint to follow.
