With the world’s top broadcasters and sports organisations depending on reliable live video contribution and distribution of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Haivision has been supporting live production of one of the largest sporting events in the world.
Ghislain Collette, VP, Product Management, Broadcast Market, Haivision, said, “For an event of this scale, dependability, reliability, and of-the-moment 5G technology is not a nice-to-have — it’s a must-have. That is why Haivision’s field-tested live video networking solutions are trusted by thousands for this unforgettable tournament.”
Among the Haivision solutions deployed in Qatar is the Haivision StreamHub, a flexible receiver and distribution platform that supports live video streaming in both in-house server and cloud service applications. StreamHub allows sports broadcasters the ability to deliver high-density HD and 4K video processing, which is a critical requirement for large-scale events such as the Qatar World Cup.
Another popular choice for several broadcasters is the Makito X4, Haivision’s cornerstone encoder. According to Haivision, the Makito X4 provides quality, flexibility, reliability, and latency for broadcasters to capture the live action from Qatar.
Additionally, Haivision’s Pro360-5G mobile transmitters deliver mobile video transmission for newsgathering, live events, and sports broadcast streaming over 5G, prioritising reliability, low latency, and potability.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup, which has been captivating sports fans around the world, concludes with the final to be held at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on December 18.
