MARKHAM — Video broadcast solutions provider Nextologies Limited announced Monday it has partnered with MAVTV Canada to provide live remote production and transmission of the Ricmotech Road to Indy iRacing eSeries.
The iRacing eSeries is a collaboration between MAVTV Canada, Road to Indy, Ricmotech Racing Simulators, Xtrememotorsports and Apex Racing to help raise funds toward Covid-19 relief efforts. Each of the races in the series will feature competitors representing all three levels of the world’s leading driver development platform. All competitors racing in this cause will have their registration fees donated to a special Covid-19 fund.
To keep everyone safe and in continued self-isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic, Nextologies was asked to quickly engineer a customized online solution that provided producers with the ability to produce the live racing e-series remotely from home using their computers, explains the news release. With the technology, producers were able to control switching and insert commercials during the live feed over the Internet while broadcasting on MAV TV Canada.
“With Covid-19 having brought an end to live sporting events so far in 2020, virtual racing can continue. We are proud to be able to provide MAV TV a quick, high-quality solution that works well, considering web streaming is not a broadcast standard,” said Sasha Zivanovic, CEO of Nextologies, in the news release.
