More cameras, immersive sound, multiple replays, insightful graphics, expert commentary: each development has increased the audience’s demand for more.
“SVG Europe is a unique and powerful body. It brings together developers, manufacturers and integrators on the one side; the broadcasters, sports federations and content platforms on the other, for open, supportive debate and engagement.
“At Caton, live sport continues to be an important business we support. Audience expectations are growing considerably when it comes to consuming live sports content, and for broadcasters this means delivering a better experience but remaining competitive in price.
