Sports broadcasters will continue to embrace remote production techniques to cut costs and maintain the highest possible quality.
The Middle East is becoming an increasingly important region for major global live sporting events, and in 2024 we’re likely to see broadcasters continue to use managed networks for live contributions at World Cup-sized events. However, we will increasingly see high-value content being delivered over the public internet thanks to new high-capacity solutions that utilise protocols such as SRT and RIST – now enabling sports video to be distributed at scale, robustly and at high quality and low latency.
In 2024, sports broadcasters will continue to embrace remote production techniques to cut costs and maintain the highest possible quality. Remote approaches also align with sustainability goals, reducing emissions by requiring less on-site crew and utilising less energy-intense live contribution solutions. With the value of sports rights escalating, robust fan engagement and cost-efficient production remain paramount, which both streaming giants and traditional broadcasters recognise.
