Digital Rapids announced that The HEAT Group, owners of the Miami HEAT National Basketball Association (NBA) team and operators of Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena, are using Digital Rapids’ StreamZ encoding system to speed the production of high-quality live and on-demand video content for the HEAT.com website and internal production workflows. Most recently, StreamZ was used for live streaming of events leading up to and following the signings of high-profile free agent players Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh.
The Broadcast Services department at The HEAT Group produces live event coverage and pre-packaged content for all departments in the organization, including advertising, marketing, internal training, the HEAT.com website, and shows airing on NBA TV and regional television. The group also produces content such as half-time features that are used within live game broadcasts on SunSports.
Online video is a key focus for the production group, as the team leverages it to support the HEAT brand, engage existing fans and grow the team’s fan base globally. Content from the team’s in-arena HEATV broadcast, special features and more are encoded through StreamZ into the formats required for on-demand Web viewing. StreamZ is also used for live Web streaming of special events and announcements. The StreamZ system is also used in an automated workflow to transcode library footage provided by NBA Entertainment into The HEAT Group’s preferred editing format for subsequent production needs.
Finding their existing encoding solution slow and inefficient, The HEAT Group chose StreamZ for its exceptional performance, high quality and the versatility to meet their broad and growing digital media needs. StreamZ was supplied to The HEAT Group by reseller CIS Group.
“By enabling us to efficiently create high-quality material for HEAT.com with very fast turnaround, the Digital Rapids StreamZ system helps us engage and grow our fan base, and that has a direct impact on our revenues,” said Ed Filomia, Senior Director of Broadcast Services for The HEAT Group. “We’re able to get video content from the arena and events onto the website faster than ever before, while the versatility of the system lowers our equipment and operational costs by supporting our live and on-demand production needs in one platform.”
The importance of streaming video as an integral part of the team’s marketing strategy was underscored at the recent start of the NBA’s 2010 free agency period. As part of a campaign to encourage HEAT star Wade to re-sign with the team, HEAT mascot Burnie took up residence on an exterior ledge of the arena for a week. To fuel publicity and fan interest in the campaign, StreamZ was used to provide a live stream of Burnie’s exploits 24-hours per day through the HEAT.com website. The StreamZ system was also used for live streaming of the welcoming party and press conference marking the signings of Wade and his new superstar teammates James and Bosh.

The 2010 NFL High School Player Development (HSPD) 7-on-7 National Tournament was held in Tampa, Florida on July 10th and 11th. The HSPD aims to develop productive members of society, helping high school students improve both their fundamental football skills and life skills. Network Foundation Technologies, LLC (‘NiFTy’) and Cisco Systems, Inc. partnered together to provide live online broadcast coverage of the tournament.
Jerry Horowitz, NFL Director Youth Tackle Football, stated, “NiFTyTV along with Cisco Systems have provided a great opportunity for our National 7-on-7 Tournament participants to relive their experience through its On-Demand features. It is also a great way for family and friends in all the participant’s respective cities to be able to see the tournament games both live and On-Demand.”
Top high school players from across the nation, representing twenty-two NFL teams, competed over the course of two-days. First day competition was used to determine bracket seeding. A double-elimination tournament was held on the second day, ending with two conference semi finals—the AFC and NFC—and a Super Bowl championship match between the local Florida teams, the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“We were very excited to work with NiftyTV to broadcast the event for the NFL HSPD 7on7 Tournament,” said Daryl Thomas, Regional Director for the HSPD. “NiFTY’s technology and support made it possible for parents, teammates, college scouts and fans to see some of the nation’s top high school football players worldwide; this was truly a historical moment for the HSPD 7on7 Tournament.”
