Engineering the Live Sports Pipeline: Scaling Live Events for Maximum QoE

Monday, April 20 | 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | W211-W212

Streaming Summit

Live sports are the ultimate stress test for streaming infrastructure — unpredictable traffic surges, global distribution requirements, and zero tolerance for failure. This panel maps best-practice workflows from acquisition to multi-platform delivery. Experts will discuss contribution, encoder resiliency, low-latency protocols, frame-accurate sync for sports betting, multi-view, and failover orchestration. Panelists will also discuss observability under live-event pressure — telemetry, probes, and metrics that detect timestamp discontinuities, bitrate shifts, or audio silence before millions of viewers are affected.
