Case Study: National Hockey League achieves cloud-based live sports production with AWS Elemental

NHL launches fully cloud-based live sports broadcast in less than a month with AWS Elemental

The National Hockey League (NHL) sought to modernize its decades-old live sports production model, which relied on massive production trucks and fixed control rooms. To create more dynamic content with greater efficiency, scalability, and sustainability, the NHL partnered with AWS, leveraging its cloud infrastructure and services like AWS Elemental MediaConnect for a pioneering live cloud production (LCP) workflow.

AWS implemented a fully cloud-based production solution that enabled the NHL to produce a live professional sports broadcast remotely. This eliminated the need for a large on-site production truck and crew, significantly reducing carbon emissions and travel costs. The solution provided the agility to create multiple, customized broadcast feeds from a single game and delivered high-quality content with minimal latency, setting the stage for a new era of innovative and personalized fan experiences.
