DAZN Group is launching a global live sports distribution service for rights holders, broadcasters and media partners.
DAZN Connect will launch with the supply of sporting properties to BT Sport, NBC Sports, Fox Soccer, Fox Netherlands and ESPN already in the bag.
Content will be delivered over IP using the “very latest video transport technologies”.
“We now have more sports content on our network than anyone else in the industry. Combine this with our technological innovation and with customer satisfaction at the core of our service, DAZN Connect is well positioned to take some big steps in the coming months,” said Gareth Rees, SVP Business Development.
Clients will be able to supply live sports back onto the DAZN network, so local coverage can be made available globally.
DAZN Connect is cloud-based and integrated with AWS. Delivery options include software-based SDI decoding and transport appliances, software-only transport applications and an AWS Direct Connect option for customers with existing AWS accounts and connectivity.
