Case Study: TV 2 Norway scales to 20,000 live sports streams with AWS Elemental

TV 2 Norway scales to 20,000 live sports streams with AWS Elemental

TV 2 Norway faced the challenge of dramatically expanding its live sports streaming capabilities beyond the limits of its on-premises video pipeline. The broadcaster needed to support a vastly increased volume of simultaneous live events, from major leagues to youth sports, which required a new level of automation and scalability. To achieve this, they turned to AWS Elemental, building a new video platform using AWS Media Services.

The solution implemented by AWS Elemental used AWS Elemental MediaLive for encoding and AWS Elemental MediaPackage for video preparation, with automation powered by AWS Lambda to provision resources on demand. This allowed TV 2 Norway to scale its live streams from over 2,500 events to a projected 20,000 per year. The shift to AWS enabled the automation of workflows, freed engineering resources, and allowed the company to move approximately 90% of its streaming and broadcast workloads to the cloud.
