Evertz Revolutionizes Live Event Replays with DreamCatcher for Globo sports live events on Google Cloud Platform
Davie, FL – October 9, 2024 – Globo, in collaboration with CIS Group and Google Cloud, has successfully deployed an innovative solution for replaying live events in the cloud. Leveraging DreamCatcher from Evertz on Google Cloud, TV Globo has transformed its replay capabilities, enhancing the viewing experience for millions of viewers.
For over a year, Globo has utilized DreamCatcher from Evertz on Google Cloud to generate replays for all its events, seamlessly integrating NDI and SRT streams. This advanced solution generates playlists and replay feeds, which are then sent back to the production switcher, all within the cloud environment. This approach has not only improved efficiency and scalability but has also reduced costs associated with traditional hardware-based solutions.
“We are excited about the success of this implementation,” said Marcelo Fontana, Product Manager at Globo. “By partnering with CIS Group and leveraging Google Cloud’s robust infrastructure, we’ve been able to take our replay capabilities to new heights with greater efficiency and elasticity, providing our viewers with a more engaging and immersive experience.
CIS Group, as the system integrator in Brazil, played an important role in the deployment, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. Google Cloud’s reliable and secure platform provided the foundation for this innovative solution, enabling Globo to achieve its goals of efficiency and scalability in replaying live events.
