Digital Rapids StreamZ Fuels Free Agent Fever for NBA's Miami HEAT

Last year the HEAT Group, owners of the Miami HEAT National Basketball Association (NBA) team and operators of Miami's AmericanAirlines Arena, started using Digital Rapids' StreamZ encoding system to speed the production of high-quality live and on-demand video content for the HEAT.com website and internal production workflows. Here is an extended case study that looks at The HEAT Group's use of StreamZ in more depth.

In this case study, Ed Filomia, senior director of broadcast services for The HEAT Group, discusses the importance of online video for The HEAT Group and the Miami HEAT; their diverse uses of StreamZ, from the creation of on-demand Web content to live event streaming and internal training video production; the advantages StreamZ offers over their previous encoding solution; technical details of their use of StreamZ in interfacing with league archives; and the business benefits that high-performance, high-quality encoding has brought to The HEAT Group
