SPOTV moves Asian sports distribution from satellite to IP
SPOTV has selected Open Broadcast Systems' decoders for its international transition from satellite to IP workflows, aiming to deliver high-quality, low-latency live broadcast services across Asia. The solution, implemented in partnership with Zixi, integrates with Zixi's ZEN Master for remote monitoring and enables regionalized content delivery while eliminating satellite infrastructure costs.
Key Takeaways
- SPOTV is moving its international workflow from satellite to IP across Asia using Open Broadcast Systems decoders.
- The deployment was executed with Zixi and certified on ZEN Master, which SPOTV uses for a virtually managed MCR.
- Open Broadcast Systems shipped decoders directly to affiliates across Asia as part of a turnkey live broadcast service.
- The setup supports edge distribution so SPOTV can deliver different content versions by region and centrally monitor affiliates.
- SPOTV says the IP move eliminates costly satellite infrastructure while improving control over live feeds.
Why It Matters
SPOTV is replacing satellite contribution with IP delivery for its Asia footprint, using Open Broadcast Systems decoders plus Zixi’s ZEN Master to keep live sports feeds low-latency and centrally monitored. That matters because the article ties IP migration to both regionalized content delivery and the removal of satellite infrastructure costs. Open Broadcast Systems is also positioning its C-100 decoders as software or hardware options for broadcasters making the same move. Watch for how many affiliates SPOTV brings onto the new IP workflow and whether it expands beyond the current Asia rollout.
