NHL, Cosm Install C360 10.5K Capture Systems at the League's Arenas

Multi-angle coverage, on-demand access to ultra-high-resolution video are provided for replays and clips across multiple distribution channels

The NHL and Cosm have installed and integrated C360 capture systems in all 32 NHL arenas as part of a new multi-year deal. The systems provide league-wide access to frame-by-frame ultra-high-resolution footage of every play and player in the league across more than 1,500 games per season.

Cosm's immersive content and production division has installed four of its 10.5K ultra-high-resolution camera systems at glass level in every NHL arena, with cameras behind each net and on each blue line. Footage from each camera feeds into CX Video Hub, Cosm Media's cloud platform, giving the NHL exclusive multi-angle live coverage and on-demand access to ultra-high-resolution captured video for replays and clips supplied across multiple distribution channels.

Cosm Media, which has been working with and testing its technology with the NHL since 2021, installed the systems for the 2025-26 NHL Season.

The footage captured by Cosm Media uses the NHL's puck- and player-tracking data (NHL EDGE), which allows the NHL to isolate, enhance, and deploy the footage to aid its instant-replay review process, player-safety initiatives, official statistics tracking and auditing, digital and social-media content creation, and more. Remote access to every live camera and on-demand content library is available via the CX Video hub. All game action is captured and synced across multiple cameras, covering every inch of the ice, so that no action is missed.

Integrating Cosm's C360 camera technology into our arenas helps us continue to deliver our game in the best way possible and brings fans even closer to the speed and thrill of NHL action, says NHL COO Stephen McArdle. The immersive perspectives captured by Cosm's system provides premium content across our entire ecosystem - for our fans, coaches, officials, broadcast partners, and more.

Says Evan Wimer, head of C360 division, Cosm Media, The NHL is meticulous with its vetting and testing process when it brings new technologies to the ice. Over the last several years, the league has challenged us to ideate and evolve our technology while refining many aspects of our systems.

As we've launched our C360 capture systems and cloud-based CX Video Hub in all 32 NHL arenas, he continues, the league and its partners have started to unlock valuable immersive capabilities uniquely provided by Cosm. The ability to automate camera functions that visually track every player and the puck independently through time and space provides enormous utility to the league and the entire NHL ecosystem.

Adds Cosm President/CEO Jeb Terry, Innovation and partnership are core to our vision. We leverage our tech and team to empower our partners with unique views and expanded capabilities to enhance the game presentation and to provide new storytelling tools to deliver more access, more personalization, and more detail for the fans. It's a privilege to work with the NHL on this innovation, and we look forward to building on this partnership for years to come.

Cosm Media serves as the production and content engine for Cosm's entire platform, serving the needs of both partners and fans. With its C360 capture systems and broader production-technology suite, the company provides dynamic, ultra-high-resolution immersive video to broadcasters and leagues across hockey, football, basketball, and more, delivering a new level of live and replay controls and comprehensive game coverage in precise visual detail.
