Euro 2020 Broadcast Delay, Why Is It Difficult To Fix?

Two groups of fans will remember the quarter-final match between England and Sweden during the 2018 World Cup in Hulk-TV, especially with extreme anger. A Swedish fan that lost the match and an English fan who watched the match on BBC iPlayer, which was delayed for 3 minutes. It’s not just England fans who rushed to twitter and demanded immediate monetary compensation who were

Harmed by delays during the 2018 World Cup in Hulk-TV. The delay, the time difference between video frame recording and broadcasting on TV, caused another outrage. The relay delay problem can be a much bigger problem than traditional TV broadcasting. Everyone is concerned that a false WhatsApp message or a message of cheers ruins the joy of scoring.

On June 18 (local time), during the match between England and Scotland, a wide area of ​​England suffered from repeated delays. But nothing to worry about! The ITV and BBC have been preparing for this moment as they have been working to address delays in game 스포츠중계 over the past three years. You may not have noticed it while watching the match, but the status of the match was much more stable than it was during the 2018 World Cup in Hulk-TV three years ago. Henry Webster, head of media services for the BBC’s digital distribution division, said: During the broadcast of the 2018 World Cup in Hulk-TV, there were certain difficulties that prevented proper preparation for the broadcast. Also, from the 2018 World Cup in Hulk-TV to now, through numerous works, we wanted to further improve the quality of the broadcast.”

It’s not surprising that the broadcast still hasn’t met the criteria for a live broadcast.

 From the perspective of broadcasting technology, it competes with advanced technology that has been around for more than 60 years. Webster said, “From a broad perspective, it’s difficult to deal with broadcast issues while scaling up properly by making sure you have a one-on-one connection with all viewers. So, in the past, broadcasting has consisted of either a hill or sky satellite sending a single signal to a large audience, which is also a very efficient mechanism for transmitting information to a large number of people at the same time.”

On the other hand, since relay approaches viewers in a different way than conventional broadcasts, more problems may arise than conventional broadcasts. Steve Forde, head of digital products at ITV, said: “A lot of the broadcast is done in the same way that video is combined and transmitted over the Internet. The better the video quality, the more lag problems occur. That’s because there’s a lot more combined data that we’re sending over the internet.”

For the extremely difficult problem of reaching viewers just like traditional broadcasts, many companies do their best to broadcast the ‘ideal relay’ that Ford general manager mentioned. It’s about leveraging the many factors that make for a great viewing experience. For example, it deals with start time issues such as how long it takes someone to press the play button for the first video frame and the time it takes to switch between commercials and broadcasts.

Finally, and most importantly, we must eliminate catastrophic errors that we can expect to cause of great concern. Many viewers stop watching the broadcast, as it did during the BBC coverage of England and Sweden during the 2018 World Cup in Hulk-TV. Factors such as these can be analyzed over the months and years between tournament matches and large events and slightly altered at the time of the match. “When a broadcast is played, you have to make changes while it is being broadcast,” Ford said. This is because many viewers have their eyes fixed on the screen. It’s like Star Trek Enterprise,” he said.

The scale of broadcasting is rapidly increasing.

The number of viewers is increasing, and at the same time, broadcasting is also becoming more stable. When the England-Croatia match was broadcast live on the BBC, it had about 3.9 million viewers set a new record. If England continues to advance to the tournament, they could continue to break the record for the number of viewers on the Croatia match. Webster said, “What the BBC knows is that every year the number of broadcast viewers increases compared to the previous year. Therefore, the BBC should primarily focus on providing a reliable and reliable broadcast that can support new audience sizes at any time.”
