Case Study: National Football League achieves real-time HD, low-latency interactive broadcasts with Haivision's Mako

Azzurro & Masergy Deliver Real-Time HD Collaboration Network with Haivision’s Encoders for the NFL

The National Football League (NFL) needed a high-quality, low-latency video system for highly interactive two-way interviews between its Culver City studios and geographically dispersed sites — including 32 team training facilities, NFL Films, the Hall of Fame, NFL headquarters and 10 remote analysts. To achieve always-on HD interactivity over IP, they engaged Azzurro with Haivision, using Haivision’s Mako codec systems alongside Masergy network transport.

Azzurro’s deployment with Haivision’s Mako codecs delivered full HD, ultra-low-latency IP video over Masergy’s guaranteed network, enabling real-time video return and true two-way interviews across all locations. The Haivision-powered solution produced fluid, highly interactive broadcasts with minimal jitter and near-zero packet loss, supporting nightly features on Total Access and segments on Around the League and Team Cam.
