BitFire

We’re excited to announce Jim Akimchuk III as BitFire’s new Chief Executive Officer, positioning the company for continued growth and innovation in software-defined live production and transmission! A BitFire co-founder and former CTO, Jim has been instrumental in developing our modern broadcast-grade internet transmission services. With deep knowledge of our business and vision, he is uniquely positioned to lead us into our next phase of growth. “BitFire is here to redefine live production, and our goal is to make high-end production tools as easy to access as our transmission solutions,” said Akimchuk. “The industry has been promised scalable cloud-enabled production before, but those solutions are either overly simplistic or prohibitively complex and expensive. We’ve built something different — software-defined tools that deliver the power and performance of traditional hardware, with the flexibility and efficiency of the cloud.” Join us in congratulating Jim on this exciting new chapter, and follow us to stay tuned — big things are on the horizon! #BitFire #liveproduction

The game of baseball is growing more than ever. The MLB NETWORK has taken this mentality to heart as they are continuing to grow their audience by utilizing a fully cloud based solution to offer post-season games to fans in India. Partnering with BitFire, the collaboration goes back to the COVID-19 days, when the MLB Draft was looking for remote opportunities for production. At the core of the system is BitFire’s cloud infrastructure, which allows MLB Network to mix and match various live feeds, incorporate graphics, and manage commentary from remote locations. A clean feed comes into the cloud production environment and can be customized for different markets. Growing in the Indian market is just the beginning for the team at the Network, as they prepare to grow their cloud based infrastructure and international scale. Cloud production allows for a wider audience reach without having the create a bigger physical footprint. “We’re always looking for new ways to grow the game in a cost-effective and efficient manner. Cloud production allows us to scale down when we need to but also ramp up quickly when there’s demand — whether that’s for international markets or youth-focused events.” - Susan Stone Jason Hedgcock | Colin Bonzey | Jacob Soto ⚾ : https://lnkd.in/eNs7QqKy
