Live rowing competitions head to Florida with Red House Streaming's production involvement
Red House Streaming, a leading provider of live production and technical support services, has been at the forefront of broadcasting rowing events at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, Florida. Over the past few months, the company produced and live-streamed five major rowing competitions, including the FIRA State Championships, FSRA Sweep Championships, Big Ten Women's Rowing Invitational Regatta, and FSRA State Sculling Championships.
The events were streamed live on RHStv, Red House Streaming's FAST streaming network, and attracted nearly 600,000 unique viewers. To ensure ultra-low-latency, broadcast-quality content transmission, Haivision Makito X4 encoders and decoders were used during the rowing competitions.
A team of five technicians, consisting of two broadcast camera technicians, one drone pilot for aerial content, one tech manager, and one systems technician, provided live switching, replay, graphics insertion, and monitoring services at the Red House Streaming Production Center in St. Petersburg. The crew also equipped the announcers with enhanced audio packages to hear and comment on live interactions between rowers and coaches during the races.
To elevate their content acquisition strategy, CP Communications and Red House Streaming/RHStv added more B-Roll video and sponsorship video. The professional live sports broadcast was replicated on the Overnight Streaming Network.
The broadcast setup included six camera feeds transmitted back to St. Petersburg, with cameras at the starting alignment position, midway point, and various locations around the course, including the finish line and aerial coverage. A new addition this year was the RF camera cart, a golf cart with an integrated camera on a robotic arm and stabilizer.
These events mark the first in a series planned for 2024 and beyond at Nathan Benderson Park. However, specific details about Red House Streaming's plans for live production and technical support services at the park for high school and collegiate rowing events in 2024 and beyond are not currently available.
