Fans can now get a clearer, real-time view of what’s happening on the ice through the NHL’s new UHD-enhanced video production pipeline. NHL’s recent technology infrastructure update, which includes the addition of several AWS Elemental Link UHD cloud contribution encoders across 32 NHL arenas, provides innovative viewer experiences.
The NHL’s new Link UHDs make it possible to quickly get multiple live UHD camera angles shot from the ice into the cloud, helping to streamline high-quality, live content delivery to media partners and accelerate the creation of video-on-demand (VOD) programming. The upgrade also opens new doors to more data-driven fan experiences, as the NHL can now more easily combine live UHD footage with real-time data and stats from its Puck and Player Tracking system, which also runs on AWS.
