Kevin Fitzgerald, Sales and Business Development Director of Streamstar, comments: “From our conversations with broadcasters we are aware that many are now facing the challenge of responding to expectations for coverage of more events across a greater number of sporting disciplines than ever before. It’s not always going to be possible, logistically or financially, to send an OB truck along, so they are on the lookout for systems that make it possible to achieve high-quality, cost-efficient streaming. It’s precisely that requirement which the iPX series addresses.”
