What we do
The moment nobody forgives is the one that buffers.
Sport is the least forgiving thing to stream. The action does not wait, there is no second take, and if the picture freezes on a knockdown or a goal, that is the clip that goes round instead of the one you wanted. Where fans have paid, it is a refund conversation as well as a reputation one.
So we build it as a broadcast. Cameras positioned for the sport rather than wherever there is room, a director cutting live, commentary on its own track, and graphics that tell a viewer who is fighting and what round it is.
We work with boxing and MMA promoters, wrestling promotions, football and rugby clubs, and grassroots organisations putting a regional competition online for the first time. The kit list changes with the job. The standard does not.
- Multi-camera ringside, cage-side or pitch coverage
- Commentary position with talkback to the director
- Live graphics: names, records, scores, round timers
- Instant replay on the cards that need it
- Ticketed pay per view delivery and access control
- Paid and free feeds running at the same time
- Highlight clips cut during the event
- Separate recording paths for the full programme
- Redundant encoders and duplicate uplinks
- Insurance and RAMS sent with the quote
What we cover
Leisure centre to arena.
How it works
Sorted long before doors.
Card and venue walkthrough
Running order, bout times, where the commentary position goes, and which camera positions the venue will actually give you.
Platform tested with you
Stream keys, access control and the paid feed proven days ahead. Nobody should be creating a pay per view event an hour before the first bell.
Rig and prove it early
Cameras up, commentary checked, graphics loaded and the stream running end to end while the hall is still empty.
Show, clips, recording
We cut it live, push highlights while the room is still loud, and hand over the full programme from a separate recording path.
Connectivity either way
A dedicated, tested venue line gets used where there is one. Guest WiFi never carries a paid broadcast, and bonded 4G, 5G and Starlink travel with us either way.
Where it goes
Sold at the door and online.
Pricing
A fixed price, before you commit anything.
Cost is driven by camera count, crew days, how long the card runs, the connectivity the venue does or does not have, and what you want cut afterwards. Not by resolution, and not by whose badge is on the kit. After a proper conversation you get an itemised quote, and it does not move unless the event does.
Included as standard
Crewed operators, our own bonded connectivity as failover, redundant encoding, separate recording paths, the full programme recording, and insurance and RAMS with the quote.
Quoted separately
Travel and accommodation, edited highlights packages, commentary talent, and extra crew above a certain camera count. Listed as lines you can cut.
No fixed packages
Packages mean paying for cameras you do not need, or finding out on fight night that something you assumed was included is not.
Questions promoters ask first.
Can you stream a boxing or MMA show as pay per view?
Yes. We deliver to ticketed platforms so fans pay to watch, and we can push a free feed to social at the same time to sell the next card. Access control and stream keys are set up with you before the day, not on the night.
What happens if the venue internet is not up to it?
We test it. Where a venue has a dedicated, tested line we will use it, and in a stadium or arena it is often the best path available. What we will not do is put a paid broadcast on shared guest WiFi. Bonded 4G and 5G across multiple carriers plus Starlink travel with us to every job, so if the venue's line drops mid-round the stream does not.
How many cameras does a fight night need?
Three to four covers most cards: a wide ringside or cage-side shot, a tight camera for the action, a second angle for replays, and a roving camera for walk-ons, corners and crowd. More cameras only help if there is someone to cut them properly.
Can you handle commentary?
Yes. We set up a commentary position with talkback to the director and mix it into the stream as its own track, so you can also deliver a clean international feed. To be clear, this is broadcast audio. We do not supply the PA or sound reinforcement in the room.
Can grassroots clubs afford this?
Often, yes, because the production scales. A regional card at a leisure centre does not need the camera count or the crew of an arena show. We quote what the event actually needs rather than a fixed package.
Do you provide clips for social media?
Yes. We can cut highlights during the event so they go out while people are still talking about it, and the full programme recording comes to you afterwards from a separate recording path.
When should we use somebody cheaper?
If a single fixed camera on a free YouTube feed does the job, or you are streaming a training session or a league fixture nobody is paying to watch, a crewed multi-camera broadcast is more than you need. We will tell you that on the call rather than quote for it.
Tell us about the card.
Thirty minutes with the date, the venue and whether it is ticketed, and you will know what we would bring, what it costs, and whether we are the right people for it.
