EVS announces winners of its first-ever C-Cast APPlied Challenge

(16/03/2015) EVS, the leading provider of live video production systems, today announced the winners of its first C-Cast APPlied Challenge. Four winners were named, each recognized for developing a second-screen experience that uses EVS' C-Cast content distribution platform to reinvent live event media consumption.

At stadiums worldwide, C-Cast connects on-site TV production infrastructure to a cloud-based platform, enabling content owners to aggregate content, enrich it or instantly deliver it to consumers. At the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, C-Cast connected 24 million unique users to a unique perspective of the games, enabling them to choose and watch different camera angles, exclusive replays and highlights instantly.

The contest is the first step toward the development of a new partnership ecosystem that will connect live broadcast and media specialists (broadcasters, content owners, producers) to an innovative community of C-Cast application designers and integrators for opening new business perspectives and extending media offerings.

We congratulate our winners on their highly innovative and creative entries. The challenge actually ended up being ours -- the jury had a difficult time selecting from the many outstanding submissions that we received from around the world, said Cedric Tombeur, VP of corporate development & strategic alliances for EVS. We're now looking forward to building a structured partnership program that bridges creative innovation with business need.

Intellicore Delivers comprehensive team, game, and player information at a touch

Leveraging its Playrz sport platform, Intellicore's application gives every fan instant access to a world of information about his or her favorite players and teams, while providing up-to-the-minute game details and the latest news. Successfully implemented at the FIBA World Championship, Intellicore uses the extensive metadata capabilities of C-Cast to give viewers access to exclusive content -- including multiple camera angles, VoD videos and statistics -- whenever they want it.

LiveLike Taps users into a virtual reality that adds another dimension to events

LiveLike's app simulates being at the venue inside a VIP suite that's up close to the action during the live event, but with the addition of special viewing features. Through the use of a virtual reality headset, users can augment their viewing experience, calling up exclusive C-Cast multi-angle replays on demand that are integrated into the action as the game unfolds. The app also allows viewers to easily switch between different games and different sports.

Winners of the 2015 C-Cast APPlied Challenge will be presenting and discussing their winning applications in the C-Cast area of EVS' booth SL3817 at NAB 2015.
