Amagi – Revolutionizing live sports and events coverage with unified cloud workflows
In 2023, live broadcasts overwhelmingly topped the charts of the 100 most-viewed telecasts, with a clear preference for live sports, which claimed 56 of the highest rankings.

This format excels in delivering the excitement of witnessing events unfold in the moment, creating a compelling sense of participation and community among viewers. So it is no surprise that the live streaming sector is expected to experience a significant boom, with projections estimating its value to reach $3.21 billion by 2027.
Limecraft – AI Subtitling at SVT in Sweden
SVT has always been keenly aware of the need to improve the accessibility and reach of its content for people with hearing/sight impairment or those unable to use audio, and the broadcaster previously committed to providing subtitles or captions for 95% of its content. As an additional benefit, subtitles also help with search engine optimization, making content easier to find. This commitment brought a very particular set of challenges, however. SVT has traditionally generated around 500 pieces of content a month, and an increasing amount of SVT’s online content is short-form which is more fast-paced and fragmented than longer-form. Unfortunately, however, the subtitling process was often very manual and time-consuming, but still required a fast turnaround.

The acronym VUCA first described the complex and challenging geopolitical situation in 1987 following the Cold War, and now aptly defines the current media landscape. It’s an environment characterized by volatility in that challenges are unexpected and sometimes incomprehensible; by uncertainty in that change may happen, or not; by complexity in that it is influenced by numerous variables; and by ambiguity in that causal relationships can be difficult or impossible to define.
