CTAS Live - Over 1000 hours of Live Streaming



On 8th March, 2015 CTAS Live reached the spectacular milestone of having successfully live streamed 1000 Hours.

Back in 2010 CTAS started Live Timing. This was a simple product that sent timing data to the internet so that people could follow the NZSBK racing live. This was a great first step, but we soon found that people wanted more, so this was quickly followed by Audio Streaming, and then Video Streaming.

This Live Streaming started as a very low budget system, but quickly grew as we needed better software, hardware, capacity, durability and reliability. This expansion has included additional motorcycle racing events as well as NZSBK, and other sports such as V8Jetsprints and Powerboats.

At 11am on 8th March, we reached the milestone of 1000 hours of Live Streaming. This coincided with the NZSBK 2015, Round 3 at Hampton Downs.
