Live Sports Production with Wirecast and NDI: Drexel Dragons Basketball Demo

See how Wirecast live streaming software and NDI support IP-based sports video production in this live demonstration featuring Drexel University and the Drexel Dragons basketball program. This demo highlights how Wirecast can be used to produce live college basketball broadcasts while incorporating NDI (Network Device Interface) into the production workflow.

Wirecast, developed by Telestream, is a professional live streaming and video production platform that allows production teams to switch between multiple video sources, manage audio, add graphics and transitions, and deliver live broadcasts to online audiences. For college athletics, school sports, and other live events, Wirecast provides a software-based approach to creating engaging multi-camera productions.

Using NDI in a Wirecast Live Production Workflow

A key focus of this demonstration is the use of NDI in live sports production. NDI (Network Device Interface) allows compatible video sources and production equipment to communicate over standard IP networks, providing an alternative to traditional point-to-point video connections.

By incorporating NDI into a Wirecast workflow, production teams can bring network-connected video sources into their live productions. This creates additional flexibility for connecting cameras, computers, and other production devices while supporting scalable IP-based video workflows.

For universities, athletic departments, and sports production teams, combining live streaming software with NDI technology can help create flexible production environments for basketball games, sporting events, and other campus productions.
