Accedo launches OTT Live Event management tech

Video software company Accedo has launched its new live events solution.

Dubbed Accedo Live Events, the product promises to help customers deliver scalable coverage of live events via a technology agnostic system that can be used with any OTT platform.

The company said that the Live Events product can be scaled from small public events to coverage of large scale sporting events. The tech will evaluate and test infrastructure components prior to an event, and uses proactive monitoring solutions to identify and address potential risks during events. 

Accedo is a well-regarded name in this space, and has clients including the NBA, Sky, Discovery and Telefónica.

Steven Kopec, head of service management, Accedo, said: “The lack of in-person attendance at live events has led to many new events being streamed live. This can present both challenges and complexities, ranging from infrastructure limitations to issues with consumer devices not supporting the quality of stream provided. Accedo Live Events is designed to reduce the risk of problems occurring during live event streaming by using a combination of pre-event planning and continuous monitoring to identify and address any potential issues before they are apparent to viewers.”
