Case Study: Eurosport achieves scalable, high-quality multiscreen streaming with AWS Elemental

Eurosport Enhances Online Video Streaming with Solutions from Elemental

Eurosport, Europe’s leading sports entertainment group, needed to expand and modernize its live and on‑demand multiscreen streaming while keeping operations manageable and cost‑effective. The broadcaster sought a solution that would bridge traditional video and IP networks, improve video quality, scale beyond its 50,000‑video library, and deliver content to PCs, tablets, phones and connected TVs.

Working with B‑Stream, Eurosport deployed Elemental’s video processing platform—Elemental Server for faster‑than‑real‑time file transcoding and Elemental Live encoders for multiple adaptive‑bitrate linear channels. The rollout improved video quality, enabled distribution on Eurosport/Yahoo and Eurosport Player, and allowed encoding of up to 12 simultaneous versions (with plans for 16 bonus feeds), accelerating content expansion and increasing live‑to‑Internet delivery.
