Monaco brings together the world of sport, television and new media

Between October 10 and 13, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco hosts the 22nd edition of Sportel, the international fair for sports, television and new media.

Sportel Monaco 2011, the international meeting of executives from sports networks and the sports content industry, which will be held in the Principality of Monegasque from October 10 to 13 under the sponsorship of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), will address the different aspects of television, Internet or mobile content related to sports.

This exhibition dedicated to sports professionals for television and new media represents 4 days of intense meetings with a series of international symposiums, conferences, special press events and round tables to learn about the latest trends in sports content on television, Internet and mobile platforms. Likewise, every year, the Georges Bertellotti Golden Podium awards the best images of world sport on television and new media.

In its 22nd edition, this international event will have the presence of almost a thousand companies from 70 countries. One such company will be Avid, which will showcase its range of solutions that enable sports organizations and broadcasters to create, manage, distribute and monetize sports content across multiple devices and ultimately deliver a more engaging experience for sports fans.

Avid

For the production and broadcast of sports, Avid will showcase in Monaco bespoke end-to-end workflows including Avid Interplay Media Asset Manager, an efficient system for storing, managing and monetizing content; Avid ISIS, a shared storage system, and Avid Media Composer, a professional video editing system.

Avid will also emphasize Avid InGame, a complete production workflow that is designed specifically for sports organizations to enhance the fan experience.

EVS

Another notable presence will be that of EVS which will present its Sports 360° solution at Sportel, a new concept to cover all aspects of sports production for broadcasting and new media distribution.

Sports 360° covers all aspects of sports production for broadcasting and new media distribution. This new concept aims to help sports rights owners, broadcasters and installation companies address multiple markets.

In today's challenging sports environment, proper asset management allows broadcasters to be able to deliver dedicated content on multiple platforms such as television, Internet, mobile phones, tablets or connected televisions, connecting with different viewing experiences.

Sports 360º from EVS offers the best way to address these new challenges by covering all aspects of sports production and multi-platform delivery from highlight replays, on-the-fly editing, new ultra motion control capabilities, graphics-based analysis or 3D replays and super-motion operations. Without forgetting aspects such as production of highlights, immediate access to the media and exchange of material with post-production. Other possibilities integrated into Sports 360º are statistical integration, multichannel distribution, mobile and web streaming and applications on second screens, without forgetting file management.
