2015-06-01 08:51:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The BBC and UK mobile operator EE tested a technology that delivers multi-angle instant replays to smartphones at the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Aston Villa on 30 May. The instant replays use LTE Broadcast technology to handle the problem of thousands of devices attempting to stream the same content simultaneously. TV News writes that Huawei, EVS, Intellicore and Qualcomm are involved in the trial. The BBC aims to move to full public trials in 2016, but data costs could be an issue. LTE Broadcast can serve multiple people viewing the same content within a given area without buffering. In the FA Cup trial, the EE app allowed 20 invited guests with specially enabled tablets to see three live feeds and to choose from a selection of replays of key moments from many camera angles.
