Deliver gaming broadcasts at 1080p@240Hz with 1 ms response time, extend video in arenas, and livestream various events

Getting into the eSports game? The eSports world continues to grow leaps and bounds from native video game teams to traditional sports such as soccer and basketball joining the esports fray.  Esports monthly viewers are estimated to grow to 29.6 million in 2022, an 11.5% increase from 2021, according to Insider Intelligence. With that increasing fan base comes larger investments, more mainstream attention, and a greater demand for professional esports broadcasts. Delivering said broadcasts at the video quality level that fans expect requires the right solutions in place so that broadcasters never miss a beat.

Unlike other broadcast avenues, esports viewers expect high refresh rates in addition to high resolutions. Broadcasters, meanwhile, need fast and precise functionality at their fingertips in the broadcasting control room, including the ability to switch between multiple PCs, output high-resolution video content, streamline their workflow, and more. Here are three things you need to make your eSports broadcasting succeed:

1. Delivering what eSports viewers demand, namely 240Hz, which means 240fps with 1 ms response time

2. Uncompressed signal extension in eSports arenas with @HDBaseT Alliance products, especially HDBaseT spec 3.0

3. Livestreaming for everyone with streaming AV mixers

Yes! Lag time is something to consider, but when done properly, livestreams can be great.

I love this marriage of eSports and live streaming! I do have a question about the 1ms lag times for the stream though. To me, this is problematic because since the early days, think 1990’s we were introducing a much-needed delay to the streams. This is because of cheating and “screen sniping”. Obviously this is much more difficult in a live setting but it still needs to be there for the aforementioned potential issues. Is this still the case or are the streams being sent in realtime? 

Thanks!
