Level\u00a03 Communications will provide live, HD television broadcast video services to FOX Sports for Super Bowl XLV, using Level\u00a03 Vyvx VenueNet+ technology. For 22 consecutive years, the League and broadcasters have relied on Level\u00a03 Vyvx Services to deliver the most-watched television event of the year.<\/p>\n
Level\u00a03 has connected the stadium in Arlington, TX, directly to its fiber-optic network and will provide FOX with advanced voice, video, and high-speed data services through a single connection panel using Vyvx VenueNet+ technology. Level\u00a03\u2019s equipment and connectivity into the venue provide FOX with end-to-end on-net service to ensure better reliability and control over the delivery process. As part of the service, FOX will also use Level\u00a03\u2019s JPEG 2000 compression services, which the broadcaster used at several venues during the 2010 football season.<\/p>\n
“Level\u00a03 has a long history of supporting FOX in the delivery of professional sports content to our viewers around the country,\u201d says Keith Goldberg, VP of Transmission and Resiliency at FOX Networks Engineering & Operations. \u201cFor a game like this, where performance is critical, Level\u00a03\u2019s unmatched experience delivering this event and the improvements they\u2019ve made to simplify the event delivery process with VenueNet+ were important factors in our decision to work with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Level\u00a03 rolled out the upgraded VenueNet+ technology in 2010, and now provides the service in all 31 major professional football venues across the country. Last year, FOX expanded its work with Level\u00a03 and signed on for VenueNet + services for the 2010 professional football season.<\/p>\n
In addition to delivering the game entirely on-net to FOX headquarters in Los Angeles, Level\u00a03 will also carry the pre-game, game, and post-game feeds to league operations centers in Mt. Laurel, NJ; Culver City, CA; and NFL Network master control facilities in Atlanta, as well as other broadcast networks and satellite teleport sites for global distribution. In total, more than 3,000 hours of video content will be acquired, encoded and transported across the Level\u00a03 Vyvx Services platform for Super Bowl coverage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen a company is selected to deliver an event as big as the Super Bowl for more than two decades running, as we have been, we believe it\u2019s a pretty good indicator of the level of trust the league and broadcasters have in Level\u00a03 to provide superior performance in high-pressure situations,\u201d says Mark Taylor, vice president of Content and Media at Level\u00a03. \u201cWe\u2019re constantly looking for ways to make that delivery experience even smoother for broadcasters \u2013 by improving workflows, adding services like VenueNet+ and streamlining processes \u2013 all with the ultimate goal of helping ensure a great experience for our customers and the viewers at home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
