Tiledmedia, which has already worked with BT and NBC Universal is making its international debut at IBC 2024.
The Rotterdam-based company will showcase its Tiledmedia Player, which allows a streamed video transmission to be divided into discrete smaller ‘tiles,’ then streamed individually, yet simultaneously decoded to create a mosaic of live action on-screen feeds.
“We are the only video player that’s multi-stream at heart,” says Rob Koenen, Tiledmedia Co-founder and Chief Business Officer, explaining that inherent and inbuilt multi-stream capability is what differentiates Tiledmedia Player from all others in the marketplace.
“In today’s tough, competitive market, it’s more important than ever for streaming providers to choose technologies that ensure a service is future-ready and poised to deliver an ever-improving user experience,” he says.
Tiledmedia Player’s Multiview capability is aimed at broadcasters who wish to show multiple video streams simultaneously. This is particularly applicable for sports where the live competitive action takes place across a wide physical area, such as with motorsport, road racing, cycling, golf or equestrian sports.
This capability is also required when streaming events with simultaneous co-located sporting performances. Viewers may be keen to see competition at different points within an arena or sportsground, such as with track and field, gymnastics championships and tennis tournaments, among others. Another example is enabling Multiview streaming of a football tournament’s group stages.
“In recent years, sports broadcasters have been demonstrating huge commitment to technological innovation, harnessing state-of-the-art solutions to engage viewers more deeply by helping them see more of the action as it happens,” says Koenen.
Instead of bolting Multiview capability on top of platform-native players, Tiledmedia Player stands apart because it is independent of platform-native players. Tiledmedia Player was created as a standalone solution: In Koenen’s words, “we built it as a multi-stream player from the ground up.”
