Lisa marie Belli <lbelli@cusa. canon.com>

OUTSTANDING CANON QUALITY FOR BOTH THE PRESENT AND FUTURE. When choosing Canon 4K UHD broadcast lenses for a production, you’re not just getting leading-edge 4K specifications and resolution. Their exceptional sharpness significantly improves standard 1080i/720P HD video quality (when compared to traditional HD lenses), as well as enhances that of 1080P HD – which has higher vertical resolution than standard HD. Equally important is the HDR and WCG capabilities inherent in their optical designs. An investment today in Canon’s 4K UHD broadcast lenses provides immediate image quality dividends in today’s standard HD, tomorrow’s possible 1080P with HDR/WCG, while also future proofing for a downstream transition to 4K UHD with HDR/WCG.

STREAMING AND OTT STRATEGY: Serving Your Local Fans on Every Screen

Authenticated in-market streaming of MLB, NBA, and NHL games allows more and more RSNs to connect with local fans on a whole new level. As a result, the walls between linear- and digital-production teams are coming down. Digital leaders from several RSNs discuss best practices in designing a live-streaming app, enhancing fan interactivity, differentiating the digital experience, and leveraging non-game content for these streaming/OTT outlets.
