Wouldn’t it be great to stream live video content from virtually anywhere?
Now you can see it for yourself, in action – literally, during the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Now stay with me, please, because even if you are not into Yachting, this broadcast demonstrates the tip of the iceberg of what the possibilities are with this technology.

Not only used for sport, but for safety and security with the maritime shipping and offshore drilling industries, but imagine being able to see your kids or grandkids live from their summer camp, dance/music recital, or even a wedding, from anywhere in the world! You can even have “Pay Per View” live streaming broadcasts to Monetize your content. (The example here and main event are NOT pay per view)

Imagine conducting sales meetings or trainings from one location to a staff spread out abroad! The possibilities are truly limited only to your imagination, which means, anything goes.

It’s so big, it has gotten the attention of CYCA (Cruising Yacht Club of Australia), the folks who put on the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. This is the Superbowl of this sport – The Big Dance!

You may have read us referencing the company, “Streaming Video Systems” here before. Master Yachtsman and Principal Mark Christiansen will be racing aboard Merit in this year’s Sydney to Hobart (His 4th!), skippered by Leo Rodriguez.

The CYCA has sanctioned a live streaming broadcast from aboard Merit with a system designed and installed by Mark Christiansen and his company, streaming video systems. The CYCA has been kind enough to lend it’s branding of the event to the landing page and video promo of this special event.

Shin-Dig Film Production is involved behind the scenes, having produced the promo currently on the landing page of the streaming event, as well as soaring around the web. You can see it here, directed and edited by Dan Shinder.

Dan will be in the Brisbane office of SVS, directing the streaming broadcast remotely, with Mark Christiansen aboard Merit for the duration of the race. Dan will also be uploading packets of media as “Highlight Reels” produced on the fly!

He has also put together a short film about Merit’s preparation for the race with insight from Leo Rodriguez, and first hand footage shot by Dan from on board Merit during a practice run while testing an assortment of sails.

Katie Kaiser will be in Hobart to capture Merit’s arrival. Last year, Skipper Leo Rodriguez led Merit to a win in its division, despite taking on a detour to rescue 14 crewmembers of the ill-fated “Georgia.” Tune in and be a part of the experience.
