is, but we can go to multiple social media outlets with it.” Streamed content includes press conferences and live pregame content. Before games, there is a tradition of releasing a live eagle that flies around the stadium and makes for some great content, along with game-day marching bands. The Auburn University channel also streams graduation ceremonies and convocations for the university – as well as recording campus speakers. The new set-up at Auburn has allowed the university to expand its service to the community, too. “This past spring, we did two different memorial services in one of our venues. One was for the city for a fallen police officer. We did that production with a couple of cameras and streamed it to their YouTube channel, which we hadn’t worked with before. It has allowed us to work collaboratively with other organisations, like the city. Another
memorial service after that was also streamed to YouTube,” says Carter. Lightspeed Live is also used for capturing any content Auburn produces for archival purposes. The Auburn studios house four Evertz DreamCatchers for instant replay, as well as a motion graphics server. The studios also share seven Ross Video XPression boxes for computer graphics and two Ross Video Acuity switchers, along with a Grass Valley router and two Midas Pro3 audio consoles. The team has also just acquired a Telestream Vantage media asset management system. Last year, the studios acquired one petabyte of Dell EMC Isilon storage, which resides in a data centre five blocks away connected via fibre. The Isilon storage has dual 40Gb back-end switches and a 10Gb switch at the data centre, which connects via single-mode fibre back to the building. Most of the workstations have dual 1Gb connections to their editing clients.
