Case Study: IMAX expands live event reach and revenue with LTN’s purpose-built IP video network

IMAX brings live events to nearly 120 locations with LTN

IMAX, an innovator in entertainment technology, sought to stream exclusive live events like sports and concerts to its global network of theaters. Their challenge was to acquire, customize, and reliably deliver these high-quality feeds to nearly 1,800 locations worldwide, overcoming issues like diverse content sources, bandwidth constraints, and the need for real-time versioning and custom advertising slates. They partnered with vendor LTN Global to leverage its purpose-built IP video network and suite of services.

LTN implemented its IP video network and workflows for content origination, master control, and live video distribution. This solution enabled IMAX to successfully stream major events, including the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony to nearly 120 US locations, a college football game to 15 theaters, and a major basketball league final to sold-out events in East Asia. The results were new revenue channels, sell-out crowds, and over 7,000 fans served in a single event, providing audiences with unprecedented immersive experiences.
