SES announced today a new agreement to deliver and manage video content for ATP Tour events around the world using Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) and its unique Sports Content Orchestration Enabler (SES SCORE) platform enabled by SES’s hybrid IP, fibre and satellite distribution network.
With more than 200,000 hours of live content per year from 3,200 tennis matches across various ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500 and ATP 250 tournaments, SES SCORE gives ATP Media an easy-to-use, centralized platform to manage and deliver its content. ATP Media’s 70+ broadcast partners can select from a variety of video feeds, audio, metadata and other content when creating their broadcasts with a simplified booking process.
“We wanted to give our broadcast partners unrestricted access to up to 10 Court Feeds we produce at our ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, as well as a secure method of delivering the World Feed as we transitioned away from satellite,” said Tom Copeland, Director of Technology at ATP Media. “By working with SES, we’ve created a simple, unified content orchestration and fully redundant hybrid distribution system where our partners can easily book and receive our SRT streams automatically through the SES SCORE Portal, enabling them to regionalise their coverage even further.”
“This is an important agreement, not only because of ATP Media’s status as a major and iconic professional sports media organization, but also that it showcases our unique content orchestration technology and hybrid distribution capabilities,” said Michele Gosetti, Head of Sales, Sports & Events at SES. “Our SES SCORE platform enables ATP Media to offer a single source to its broadcasters for picking various feeds and content sources – from full court views to player and coach isolation shots and more – to customize the broadcast to the tennis fans in their specific markets.”
