LiveU Matrix facilitates multi-location coverage of German elections
Broadcasters exchange high-quality live feeds through the cloud
The Challenge
With the federal election and two state elections taking place on the same day, September 26th, 2021, was a historic day for Germany. Media stations and news agencies were required to simultaneously report from a great number of electoral hotspots across the country, including the party headquarters and the Federal Chancellery – without compromising on video quality. National and international viewers were closely watching the news on the big day.
The Solution
Forming a major event news pool, several prestigious broadcasters, including WELT, contributed and exchanged numerous live election feeds via the LiveU Matrix video management and distribution cloud platform. Pre-integrated with Blackbird's cloud editing application, participating broadcasters were able to edit live signals in close-to-real time. During the entire election day, LiveU provided proactive monitoring and premium support, ensuring a reliable and premium-quality cloud production.
