Case Study: Fox Sports achieves near-real-time remote editing for the 2018 FIFA World Cup with IBM Aspera

Fox Sports cuts edit time to under 10 seconds with Aspera

Fox Sports faced the challenge of broadcasting the 2018 FIFA World Cup from Russia to a US audience without moving its post-production operation from Los Angeles, requiring a way to handle high-volume video feeds over vast distances. To overcome this, they turned to IBM Aspera and its Aspera Streaming technology for a solution.

Using Aspera's high-speed transfer technology, Fox Sports was able to remotely edit content with a delay of less than 10 seconds from the live action. This solution allowed them to transfer over 2 petabytes of video, shorten their production cycle by hours, and achieve significant cost savings while delivering a seamless viewer experience.
