Makes rich media content and services available for the first time in the stadium where previously unavailable

Atos, an international IT services company has integrated C-Cast, a cloud based multimedia distribution platform from EVS into its SMART player (Sports Media Application in Real Time). Worldline, the European leader in the payments and transactional services industry, has incorporated this player into a comprehensive app designed to engage with the spectator before, during and after an event.

Today’s sports fans are used to having access to a variety of information from the comfort of their homes. While a first screen traditionally provides the main event – audio and video plus expert commentator), a second screen is able to provide the sports fan with interaction with other viewers through social media channels as well as access to statistics and instant replay etc.

· Buy tickets or merchandising linked to a loyalty program;

· Be guided to, from and inside the venue;

· Get a clearer picture of what is happening on the field of play with control over the content. Using SMART player for live streaming synchronized with real-time results and statistics, automatic personalized recommendations based on preferences, multi-audio commentaries, key information tagged on the time-bar, and more;

· Watch near real-time reviews of key actions from a choice of multiple camera angles using C-Cast, multimedia distribution platform from EVS;
