SportsCanada.TV offers different broadcasting options to suit the needs and budget of any sport organization.

SELF-BROADCAST (RECOMMENDED FOR REGIONAL EVENTS)

For the self-broadcast we help organizations webcast their events using their own staff and equipment (the minimum requirements for this are internet access, a camera and laptop). We provide the technical support to get them started and the bandwidth for streaming. The cost for bandwidth is low - usually around $10 per hour.

Equipment rentals are also available for this option.

BASIC BROADCAST (RECOMMENDED FOR NATIONAL EVENTS)

With the basic broadcast, we provide all the equipment and one or two staff members to set up and run the webcast. Our pro equipment can provide multiple camera angles, score overlays, instant replays and sponsors ads. This option ranges between $50-$200 per hour depending on the features requested, staff required, and number of games covered. With this option, event organizers are responsible for finding volunteer camera operators.

Features included:

  • 1-2 SportsCanada staff
  • Set up & tear down
  • Broadcasting equipment, including Tricaster, monitors, microphones, headsets, pro cameras (1-4)
  • Recording and streaming in HD
  • On screen graphics & live score overlay
  • 1-3 minute promo videos - highlighting event or specific teams
  • Instant Replays
  • Required Bandwidth
  • Ability to run sponsor commercials throughout broadcast
  • Game copies on USB

FULL BROADCAST (RECOMMENDED FOR INTERNATIONAL EVENTS)

With the full broadcast we supply all the equipment, a trained director and 2-3 camera operators. This is a good option for higher profile events (particularly those with broadcast sponsors), as using trained professionals as opposed to volunteers can markedly improve the look of a webcast. To keep costs low we often hire students from local broadcasting schools.

Features included:

  • 4-6 SportsCanada staff (e.g. Webcast Technician, Live Director & Switcher, Camera Operators)
  • Set up & tear down
  • Broadcasting equipment, including Tricaster, monitors, microphones, headsets, pro cameras (1-4)
  • Recording and streaming in HD
  • On screen graphics & live score overlay
  • 1-3 minute promo videos - highlighting event or specific teams
  • Instant Replays
  • Required Bandwidth
  • Ability to run sponsor commercials throughout broadcast
  • Game copies on USB
