Simplestream, a leading provider of video services for the media and entertainment industry, today announced it that its Cloud TV platform has been chosen by NWSL Media (a joint venture between the National Womens Soccer League and A+E Networks) to deliver a crowd-pleasing multiscreen streaming service for Americas premier womens soccer league.
Simplestreams modular Cloud TV platform provides an end-to-end service, including live streaming, Live-2-VOD and Video On Demand capabilities within a unified workflow:
Live Event Streaming: Over 120 live matches per season are streamed outside the US to international audiences in high definition, with embedded real-time sports data provided by Opta. Whilst watching, fans can view synchronised scores, line-ups, play-by-play and box score data across desktop and mobile platforms.
Live-2-VOD: browser-based editing simplifies the creation of in-game highlights, including one-click publishing to NWSL properties and social media sites. Post-game, Opta data is used to automate the creation of match replays.
On Demand: comprehensive OVP (Online Video Platform) functionality including multi-bitrate encoding, HTML5 video player, image management and publishing rules are supplemented with advanced metadata management, including the ability to tag videos to any team, game or player. Integrated metadata from Opta, provides NWSL editors with a fast and efficient way to publish video clips.
At launch, the service, which was built in less than 12 weeks, is available for free to users internationally on the web (at http://www.nwslsoccer.com), and iOS devices. It is expected to roll out to Android and other devices later this year.
In addition to the international streaming services, NWSL matches are also streamed live inside the US on myLifetime.com, the popular online destination of the Lifetime network, with match replays available after 48 hours on the NWSL website and apps. Simplestreams rights management module controls the availability of content, both live and on-demand, across territories.
The NWSL deployment builds upon Simplestreams existing relationship with A+E Networks, for whom it already provides TV Everywhere distribution services in Europe.
