HBS – LFP video platform

About

Since 1999, Host Broadcast Services (HBS) has been a key player in the world of sports. HBS and its expertise deliver sound and images from the most prestigious sporting events around the world. They are committed to optimizing broadcasting and promoting media rights with unfailing reliability. To this end, they support organizers and broadcasters in their missions.

Background

HBS was facing a major challenge. It is responsible for ensuring compliance with match recordings activated by broadcasters for a major sports league. They therefore needed a technology partner capable of designing and developing an innovative, secure, and easy-to-use digital solution. That's where our agency, NetDevices, came into play.

Solution(s)

We have created a digital platform dedicated to rights holders of the Professional Football League (LFP). The aim is to provide access to live streams of competitions and their archives. A series of technologies have been chosen for integration: Node.js, Angular, Video.js, Dash, CasperJS, Phantom.js, Mocha.js, OVH, and AWS. This complex platform offers a range of unique features. These include the ability to enrich videos with tags that allow users to search for specific moments and download related segments. The entire collection is available from different camera angles.

Impact

Thanks to its user-friendly interface (UX/UI), this platform has enabled LFP clubs to better distribute their content and promote their media assets. It also enhances the experience for viewers and fans. It has also enabled HBS to ensure the compliance of match recordings. There has also been an increase in their reliability and reputation in the market.

In addition, we have created a detailed blog post dedicated to the challenges of complex platforms like this one. This content offers an in-depth understanding of these systems. It also illustrates the significant impact of our work on HBS's business.

Challenges

There were two main challenges to overcome during this project.

• The first was to ensure integration with the video backend (Globecast) to guarantee smooth, high-quality live broadcasting.
• The second challenge was to build an intuitive and robust platform capable of handling large amounts of video content.

At NetDevices, we are proud to have overcome these challenges thanks to our expertise in web development and our commitment to customer satisfaction.

In short, our agency is delighted to have collaborated with BHS on the project to create an innovative, reliable, and user-friendly video platform. This has had a significant positive impact on their business. Furthermore, we are continuing our collaboration with HBS to further improve and optimize this platform. This confirms our commitment to providing our clients with sustainable, high-quality technological solutions.
