SPORTING EVENTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Slipstream Media pioneered live sports streaming globally back in 2002 with our flagship content, international tennis. It was undoubtedly the initial content driver of Slipstream Media.

Technically ahead of our time and using our own compression technology (this is pre-Flash Media and Youtube), we successfully broadcast the two Auckland ATP and WTA events in the first ever online broadcast of any major tennis event and one of the first major sports events in the world. Contracted to ATP and WTA we then streamed live out of far-flung venues such as Cincinnati, Dubai, Bangkok and Sydney.

No other form of entertainment can be transposed beyond the actual venue and retain the drama and feeling of being live. In other words no other content suits live streaming more than sport.

The internet provides a cost-effective production and broadcast medium for second tier sports. With surprisingly good production standards, and global delivery, we get that content beyond the venue to niche and mainstream fans everywhere.

Slipstream Media grew out of this phenomenon and has been the primary online sports broadcaster in the country.

We have:

• Unmatched experience in NZ in online live sports streaming
• Scalable international and local data networks in place providing an optimum viewer experience of their  favorite sports events
• Extensive experience in live streaming from international venues including from Asia, the US, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia.
• Extensive experience in working with television and other OSB producers 
• Our own production capabilities ranging from single camera to multiple camera  live switching
• The ability to send multi format, multiple bitrate streams, using state of the art codecs and media players.
• The countries pre-eminent ad-server and online tracking technology for opening up revenue streams.
