International. Total Media Cast, TMC and TVU Networks signed an agreement to live stream Fan Zones from each of the 31 countries competing in Qatar. The event begins on November 20 and ends with the coronation of the World Champion on December 18.
This will be TMC's largest live coverage event, providing access to live celebrations and real-time fan gatherings for use across all platforms.
The partnership was the result of several meetings at IBC 2022 during which TVU offered TMC a fully redundant IP transmission solution in the cloud and delivered the signals to the media using TVU Grid. TVU Grid is an open platform for live-enabled, archived rights-enabled video content from trusted media organizations around the world.
During the Qatar football competition, TMC will offer a variety of media services including live studios (DTL), news reporters, SNG and IP broadcasting, on-site engineering and ready-to-broadcast news packages.
"We are delighted to partner with TVU Networks on this project, we believe this collaboration will have a huge impact on the Qatar Competition viewing experience for millions of viewers and TV channels around the world," said Mr. Issam Ayyad, Founder and CEO of TMC.
Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks, said: "This partnership with TMC will allow us to expand our global reach in an unprecedented way. We're proud to help bring the excitement of the world's biggest sporting event to a global audience. Being chosen by TMC for such an innovative project, helping media to simultaneously bring the fan zone experience of 31 countries to their viewers, with an easy cloud-based solution, where any live broadcast can be taken to digital or traditional SDI format with one click. It is a true testament to the innovation of this partnership."
