Case Study: Cloudbass achieves ultra-low-latency remote production, collaboration, and monitoring with Haivision

Haivision Helps Power Remote Production, Collaboration, and Monitoring for Outside Broadcast Specialist, Cloudbass

Cloudbass, a UK-based outside broadcast specialist covering live sports and events, needed to move key workflows off-site during the COVID-19 pandemic to meet social distancing and travel restrictions. To enable reliable, low-latency remote monitoring, production, vision mixing and graphics operation, Cloudbass worked with Haivision and adopted Haivision Makito X4 video encoders, the Haivision SRT Gateway and Haivision Play Pro to transport broadcast-quality video over limited bandwidth using the SRT protocol.

Haivision’s solution—Makito X4 encoders in OB trucks feeding a cloud-hosted SRT Gateway with WebRTC/set‑top box distribution and Play Pro monitoring—delivered under 500 ms latency and allowed Cloudbass to run remote graphics for all 12 rounds of the GT World Challenge America from the UK. The Haivision deployment reduced on-site staffing and travel, worked over 4G connections, and improved response times for on-site incidents (medical crews using Play Pro), demonstrating clear operational and safety benefits.
