Introduction

Megolive is a creative event solution company that has been making waves in the industry since 2020. Initially flourishing during the pandemic, Megolive specializes in virtual events and leverages NDI (Network Device Interface) technology for their productions. Their successful integration of NDI has proven to be a game-changer in their production workflow.

Project Overview

Recently, Megolive was tasked with producing the Paris 2024 Olympics Badminton Competition Group Stage Draw for the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The event took place at the BWF Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, requiring a comprehensive setup to live stream the draw globally. Megolive employed the Tricaster TC2 for production, Kiloview encoders and decoders, and introduced the Kiloview X1 Cube Distribution System to enhance their NDI workflow.

Challenges

The primary challenge for this production was the complex distribution of video signals. With multiple cameras capturing different angles and various outputs needing synchronization, managing bandwidth and ensuring seamless signal distribution was crucial. Additionally, the data-sensitive nature of the event required accurate verification by referees, necessitating reliable and high-quality monitoring solutions.

Kiloview Solutions

To address these challenges, Megolive utilized several Kiloview products:

  • N60, N40, N4, N3, and U40 Encoders/Decoders: These devices facilitated input and output from cameras and TV monitors, ensuring smooth signal transmission.
  • Cube X1 Distribution System: This new addition managed the distribution and routing of NDI feeds, reducing the load on the Tricaster TC2 and allowing for effective signal management.
  • Cube R1 for Recording: Enabled high-quality recording of the event for future reference.

Implementation and Benefits

The integration of Kiloview’s NDI solutions streamlined Megolive’s production process. The Cube X1 significantly improved signal distribution without overloading the Tricaster’s network bandwidth. This setup allowed the technical team and clients to monitor feeds seamlessly, enhancing overall production quality and efficiency. The NDI workflow reduced the need for multiple devices and cables, simplifying the setup and making it more manageable.

Outcome

The event was a success, with the Kiloview solutions providing stable and high-quality video streams. The innovative use of NDI technology and Kiloview devices showcased the potential for efficient and flexible live production workflows. Megolive’s ability to deliver outstanding results reinforced their reputation in the industry.

Conclusion

Kiloview’s NDI solutions have proven to be invaluable for Megolive, offering flexibility, efficiency, and high-quality production capabilities. This partnership highlights the importance of understanding and properly implementing NDI technology to achieve seamless live productions. Kiloview’s continuous support and innovative products have played a crucial role in Megolive’s success, paving the way for more advanced and efficient workflows in the future.

Customer Testimony

Rosli: The Kiloview NDI workflow to Megolive is really a marvel! It makes our setup a lot easier with lesser devices and most importantly lesser cables. It helps us solve monitoring issues, ease inputs and outputs and manages our network bandwidth. We no longer need multiple devices to do all these things.

Gbam: Would also like to share a story that happened few years back where we encountered problems with our encoders after a firmware update. Had a quick chat on their social media and Kiloview’s tech team straight away setup a WhatsApp group with their technical guys to solve the issue! What a treat! Thanks so much guys for helping us out throughout the years.
