ACB Scores Big with EditShare: Slam Dunk for Automated Ingest, Live Logging and Scalable Broadcast Infrastructure
EditShare has partnered with integration experts Broad Service and Mediacast to deliver a next-generation ingest, asset management, and production system for the Association of Basketball Clubs (ACB), one of Europe’s top professional basketball leagues.
Faced with rising demands for fast-turnaround content and multi-platform publishing, ACB needed to overhaul its production infrastructure. The answer was a powerful, scalable solution built around EditShare technology.
The deployment includes:
EditShare FLOW Ingest, a multi-channel ingest solution supporting both baseband and NDI sources, with full support for edit while capture codecs. This allows immediate access to footage while it is still being recorded, streamlining fast paced sports workflows
EFS media-engineered nodes, designed for scalability, reliability, robust security, ensuring uninterrupted performance during live events and high volume collaboration.
Multiple FLOW production servers, enabling rapid format conversion via powerful automation engine enabling streamlined distribution across broadcast, digital, and social platforms.
FLOW Live Logging, giving editors and content teams the ability to tag game moments such as three pointers, fouls, and free throws in real-time.
Solving Real Pain Points on the Court and in the Cloud
The challenge: ACB was dealing with scattered storage, slow manual ingest and no way to tag and track content in real time.
The EditShare solution:
Automated ingest into an EFS media gets footage into the system instantly, organized and ready to use.
Live logging lets teams tag key moments as they happen for instant retrieval.
Centralized media storage supports real-time collaboration without crashes or lost files.
“In live sports, if you miss the moment, you miss the opportunity,” said Tara Montford, Co Founder and EVP of Product at EditShare. “Our live logging and ingest tools give ACB’s content teams the ability to react instantly and turn raw game footage into ready to share content while the action is still happening.”
A Broadcast Slam Dunk for ACB
This upgrade is more than a tech win. It shows ACB’s commitment to delivering top tier content to fans everywhere, from the arena to the app. The system helps content teams move faster, publish smarter and push high quality media to every platform without delay.
With this shift to IP based production, powered by NDI (Network Device Interface), ACB sets a new standard in sports broadcasting. Agile, automated, and ready for whatever comes next.
