Singapore Sports Institute, Monday, May 18, 2015 — Comprehensive coverage of the upcoming 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games will be made available through several digital and mobile platforms for members of the public, regardless of geographical location.
Lim Teck Yin, Singapore Southeast Asian Games Organising Committee (SINGSOC) executive chairman, said, “Making the games accessible to as many as possible has always been a priority for SINGSOC. Tremendous effort has gone into making sure that the 28th SEA Games in Singapore can achieve this by charting new grounds to deliver and enhance fan experiences through its digital offerings.
“I am very excited to see how the public will react to being able to watch and interact with the SEA Games in an entirely new and immersive way through digital devices,” he added.
Highlighting the digital experience would be the 28th SEA Games TV mobile application, which is a first in SEA Games history. The second screen application will be the first interactive multi-camera coverage application developed for any multi-sport competition. Depending on the sport, up to 16 cameras will be utilized to provide instant on-demand replays.
“When you are watching live, you can’t make any changes to the camera angles,” said Stephane Jauroyou, EVS’ vice-president of sales for the Asia-Pacific region, who will spearhead the broadcast feed of the Games.
“We cut the highlights and a few seconds of the action from the live feed, and make it available right away, and you can replay this clip from different camera angles.”
The beta version of the application will be made available tomorrow, May 19, for Android devices. The official version for both Android and Apple devices can be downloaded free from May 25.
Additionally, the official Games website will feature a 28th SEA Games Social Wall, where bite-sized content from volunteer reporters and photographers will be showcased.
Live streaming and post event highlights of 16 different sports, including the opening and closing ceremonies, will also be available via the official SEA Games YouTube channel.
“From conceptualization to where we have arrived today, the journey has been an extraordinary one in making this Games the most digitally innovative in SEA Games history,” said Harbans J Singh, SINGSOC’s deputy director of digital marketing.
“In the last three years, over 500 people have been engaged and involved in developing and fine tuning all the different aspects of this remarkable digital experience. We are thankful to all our sponsors and vendors who were in this journey to make this happen.
“Now, it is for our people in Singapore and our neighboring Southeast Asia to experience and celebrate the extraordinary with us through these easily available 28th SEA Games digital assets.”
