SEI local sports switches to live video streaming for
high school webcasts
SEI Local Sports will make a significant upgrade to its live and archived webcast product beginning with the current 2014-15 basketball season. The local sports website www.SEILocalSports.com now entering its fifth year of high school coverage will offer video streaming for the very first time.
“This is a very exciting and significant enhancement to our service,” said company founder and president Bryce Kendrick.
“We have always been widely touted as having the best set of announcers in the region. We’ve been praised by our local sports community along with state and even one national source as offering webcast presentations that are among the most professionally conducted, best prepared and certainly the most positive; however, our one drawback has always been the physical quality of our audio streaming. Now by streaming video, our physical product, combined with what we already do very well, will make for the single best presentation of high school sports in this region.”
Kendrick said doing video webcasts was always part of the site’s plan but financial concerns and logistics prevented the switch from happening sooner.
“It’s very expensive,” noted Kendrick. “Between new, high-end equipment, the pricey cost of streaming video over a dedicated wireless signal and adding extra staffing for the camera, it was a major financial undertaking both to start and commit to. I wasn’t quite ready to pull the trigger prior to this year’s football season but things began falling into place after it started. The negatives of going to video are that we will be doing fewer games than before because we will only have one crew,” Kendrick stated. “It’s simply too much to try to both equip and fund two crews at this time; however, we will still do more live games than any other media company in the area. Games can be seen on a computer or portable mobile device and will be recorded for later viewing in our archives.”
The schedule was prepared for the current basketball season and being reworked based on the recent change from audio to video and will be announced shortly.
