波特兰(2017年7月18日)
Amazon Web Services today announced that BT used AWS元素 Live video processing to power live streaming broadcasts of the UEFA Champions League final on June 3. 第一次, BT gave viewers the opportunity to experience the highly anticipated championship events live in the BT Sport application and on YouTube in both 360-degree virtual reality (VR) and 4K Ultra-High-Definition (UHD) video.
BT has consistently advanced the quality and diversity of its sports programming through its BT Sport broadcast channels and YouTube channel. The addition of VR to its live streaming portfolio continues a string of innovations from BT that engage online audiences and enhance the viewing experience for the premier European football tournaments.
“我们一直在探索创造新事物的方法, immersive experiences for our live events that make the most of the latest video technologies,克里斯·布拉姆利说, 首席技术官, BT电视. “AWS元素提供了链中的关键元素, enabling us to bring viewers virtually onto the pitch and put them in the middle of the most exciting events in all of sport with resilient, 高质量流到多个设备.

让比赛决赛在VR中栩栩如生, BT designed a workflow that begins with 12 360-degree 4K UHD cameras positioned on and around the playing surfaces. On-site production trucks deliver VR feeds for delivery to AWS元素 Live encoders for processing and packaging live streams.
