The panel, titled "Live Streaming of the 2012 Olympic Games to Connected Devices: Enabling Olympic Rights Holder Broadcasters to Expand their Digital Footprint," will take place on Sept. 8 from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Forum, and is free to all exhibition and conference attendees.
Mio Babic, founder, president, and CEO of iStreamPlanet, and Peter Maag, chief marketing officer of Haivision, will discuss how they worked together to develop the "Go-Live Package," a live streaming solution for this summer's London Games for national broadcasters such as RTE in Ireland.
