With worldwide sports events large and small forthcoming, some leagues and game-day coverage rights holders may need to think efficiently and economically when it comes to delivery of the live play-by-play.
Quicklink may have a solution, based on its recent work with the Professional Squash Association.
The PSA’s SQUASHTV broadcasts more than 960 matches across the year, including the PSA World Tour, the “pinnacle” of world squash. The PSA and SQUASHTV required a solution for facilitating remote commentary that elevated broadcasts of smaller tournaments.
Enter Quicklink, which allowed PSA to implement high-quality audio from remote commentators into their broadcasts.
This was accomplished via a web-based interface for commentators who can view a real-time, high-quality feed of the event, while commentating from any location. “With minimal equipment required beyond a laptop, headset and internet connection, commentators of all technical skill levels can contribute high-quality audio,” Quicklink said.
The Quicklink solutions were supplied to The Professional Squash Association through Auriga Networks, known for IP video distribution over both satellite and terrestrial platforms.
The PSA will continue to utilize the Quicklink Remote Commentary and Quicklink
Cre8 solutions for the 2023-2024 squash season and in future years.
