Case: Organization of an Online Broadcast of a Series of Qualifying Matches for the All-Russian NHL (Night Hockey League) Tournament in Krasnodar.

Client: Audit and Consulting Group “YUIKC.”

Task:
Organize the live broadcast of sports events — a series of Night Hockey League games. One of the key requirements was to overlay a virtual scoreboard on the live stream, taking into account that data from the referees’ console was transmitted only to the arena scoreboard and could not be received by the broadcasting control console. Provide multi-camera editing with replays of key moments, set up and equip a commentator’s area, and ensure a live broadcast of the series on the NHL YouTube channel at the scheduled time.

Solution:

  • The company’s specialists used multi-camera equipment with virtual studio control panels.

  • One of the cameras, aimed at the game scoreboard, recognized the score, time, and other match parameters in real time.

  • Event coverage was carried out using several specialized cameras.

  • The live broadcast director chose which camera feed went live, when to replay an interesting moment, or when to switch to the bench.

  • The series of matches was broadcast at the scheduled time via the YouTube streaming service.
