Equiworld Invests in Video WebCasting Technology
/archive/equiworld-net/video/ewvideo.exe
Equiworld today announced the introduction of a range of enhancements to their
already popular video streaming and webcasting services. The key to the
enhancements is the installation of computer software written specially for
Equiworld to manage video streams.
Equiworld's Peter Asprey explained that the software has become increasing
necessary to manage in real time the availability of video streams. Peter
explained the software is built round a database which allows the Equiworld
team to quickly change how video is made available to the users.
Take for example our live webcasting service, the live video stream is normally
only available for a set period of time during the event. Archive footage is
normally only added when the team return to the office. The new software allows
users to bookmark a single URL which before the event might for example link
them to a promotional video. Then during the live event route them to the live
video. As soon as the event is over the system switches them over to a
highlights package, or even a re-run of the days live action.
Peter also added that because the video is stored
digitally on a computer disk, the management software allows a user to skip
directly to a key frame. If for example an owner knew the starting time of
their horse, they could call up the video in seconds. Used during an event, a
course official could call up any available video to help with disputed judges
scores. The system also overlays course time, and camera number on the recalled
video, allowing the user to quickly determine the fence being jumped. The
system could be applied through a range of equestrian events, from eventing,
through showjumping and dressage. Equiworld hopes to trial the system at a
number of events this summer. If the trials prove successful Equiworld plan to
offer the service in addition to their world leading equestrian event
webcasting service. Already the system to manage video is live.
