Changing tile & mosaic layout needs

Esports pushes the limit of live production technology, creating highly immersive events that engage audiences in ways that go beyond tradition sports.

With player feeds and cameras, observer cameras, announcers, and analysts, all feeding into a multiple cascaded production systems, large esports tournament production rivals the complexities of major traditional sporting event production while adding a new set of challenges. While some esports production is done using more traditional systems, others are leaning heavily on the cloud and remote distributed or at-home production teams.

ESPORT MULTIVIEWER

The scale of these systems ranges from small matches to major tournaments, requiring extreme agility and adaptability in system design as well as very low latency, streaming formats and the ability to support at-home team members. Esports systems designers need to create solutions that spans these requirements and delivers consistent results for all events and implementations.

FAQs

One of the most popular questions we get. Of course, the answer will depend on your application. But good news- we have created a special tool to help you get an estimate. Check it out: http://systemconfigurator.tagvs.com/

Absolutely! Did you know all our existing clients tried the system before choosing TAG? (Okay, all but one). Apply for your free 90 day trial: https://www.tagvs.com/tag-trial/

Yes! The TAG platform can run on cloud instances. Learn more here: https://www.tagvs.com/tag-on-the-cloud/

The two main challenges of cloud live production implementations for work-from-home applications are getting the uncompressed sources to the cloud and delivering the Mosaic Output to the home.

The TAG platform JPEG-XS which can be used to deliver high-quality production content to the cloud where bandwidth limitations apply and can also provide the mosaic output as Zixi and/or HLS streams to be delivered to the home over the public Internet.

The TAG platform has an elaborated JSON API which can be used by custom user panels configured to control the system functionalities.
