Systems and methods for distributing an audio/visual feed of events include mixing audio signals, from microphones monitoring the event, with sound board feed from the event public address system, thereby forming a mixed audio signal. A video input signal is received at each video input in one or more video inputs at a video board from one or more corresponding cameras recording the event. A video input signal is selected as the video board output and is combined with the mixed audio signal thereby producing an audio/visual signal. This signal is encoded using a video codec, at each of several bitrates, and an audio codec, thereby forming bitrate streams each comprising the video portion of the audio/visual signal at a unique bitrate. The streams are received by a satellite router and transmitted to a satellite which sends them to one or more downlink servers for Internet distribution.
A portable system for distributing an audio/visual feed of an event, comprising:
A method for distributing an audio/visual feed of an event, the method comprising:
The method of claim 22, wherein the first plurality of bitrate streams invoke a first adaptive bitrate streaming protocol and the second plurality of bitrate streams invoke a second adaptive bitrate streaming protocol, the method further comprising:
