Operational Impact
With Aspera, BT Sport can transport large media files at the highest possible speeds and in single sessions. BT Sport now maximizes bandwidth between the two sites, ensuring business continuity with near-zero recovery time – which would not have been possible without Aspera. Thanks to Aspera’s ability to integrate easily with any third-party solutions, as well as Aspera’s previous experience successfully collaborating with EVS, Timeline Television was able to deliver a tightly integrated solution for BT Sport’s complex workflow in under six months, making this project one of the largest and quickest broadcast installations in the industry. Other notable benefits include easy integration with any third-party platform, so Timeline Television was able to complete a smooth integration with EVS, Harmonic MediaGrid and Avid Interplay. The active / active Aspera deployment with high-speed replication enables full business continuity at the BTT DR site. | |
