The European Cricket League signs up with LIGR to launch cricket live streaming into Europe.

Challenge

The newly launched European Cricket League and Network (ECN) needed to produce high quality, yet cost effective and highly scalable live stream workflows to make an impact in its inaugural season. Games would be played as ICC backed international matches and expected viewership was in the thousands with large international audiences.

‍

Requirement

To produce a solution that could scale across hundreds of live broadcasts, ingest live cricket data, look professional and integrate commercial partners into live broadcast without the cost of traditional solutions. It needed to be extremely easy for in-house ECN operations to use and deliver without need for constant human support or hand holding.

‍

Solution

LIGR and Interact Sport teamed up to put together a fully automated and virtual live stream solution for the ECN. By inputting data into the Interact Sports LiveScore Cricket application, the ECN's live cricket data automatically connects to LIGR's automatic graphic platform, and is now powering their entire graphics and branding workflow for their live streams, automatically, all in the cloud and remote. The launch generated over 100K views on Youtube in just 6 hours.
