In this article from TM Broadcast, Teradek showcases how its cutting-edge technology powered real-time, in-car streaming for the Supercars Championship in Australia. The goal was to immerse fans in the high-speed action by delivering uninterrupted live video directly from 25 supercars, even as they raced at speeds exceeding 300 km/h. Supercars Australia, in collaboration with Chris Beaumont, Head of IT, faced significant challenges, including network congestion from massive crowds, power consumption concerns, and maintaining high-quality streams in a fast-moving environment.
To overcome these obstacles, Teradek deployed its Prism Mobile encoder, designed for high-quality H.265 video transmission, along with Node modems that ensured reliable connectivity across Vodafone, Optus, and Telstra networks. The Teradek Core platform handled stream debonding, while the Teradek Core API automated workflow processes, enabling seamless live streaming with minimal manual intervention. This innovative setup allowed fans to access cockpit views, real-time telemetry data, and immersive audio through the Supercars app, enhancing their viewing experience like never before.
The implementation of Teradek’s technology led to significant improvements in streaming reliability, connectivity, and efficiency. Features like automatic streaming activation, API integration, and low power consumption streamlined operations, while the ability to customize video settings and manage replays improved both fan engagement and technical analysis. As a result, Supercars saw increased viewership and positive feedback, proving that Teradek’s broadcast solutions are redefining live motorsport streaming.
