about us

Playo is a video production company based in Prague, the capital city of Czech Republic, founded in 2004.

Our core business is the live broadcasting of any kind of event. We specialize in sport multicamera live broadcasting, however, we can also record and broadcast any other type of event: cultural or conference, to name a couple. The same versatility applies to our clients – it doesn’t matter whether you want to broadcast a local sports event, an international tournament or if you are an international broadcaster aiming to hit a million views, we can meet your requirements.

Using our mobile broadcasting gear we are able to work literally anywhere in the World. With our Outside Broadcasting Van (OBV), we have easy access all over Europe. With our two Flight Pack System (FPS) we are also able to work overseas. Altogether with our 3 standalone solutions, we can broadcast up to three different events at the same time.

The video that we produce can be distributed live to a TV channel or streamed online on the Internet, all in flawless Full HD quality. Many times in history, Playo has also been a media partner of an event. If we do so, we provide a discount to our clients for our services.

We have developed a native unique graphic system for displaying any graphic layers, such as score bug, titles, live statistics, etc. Our system can be used independently or easily integrated with any local scoring or timing systems.

There are no sports TV shows without instant replays and slow motion. We have a high quality Slo-mo system that can replay from up to 8 different camera angles.

Playo, however, is not defined only by our gear but also by our enthusiastic, highly skilled, and professional team of cameramen and OBV operators, who work tirelessly to deliver you and your viewers the best experience possible.

Live stream over the Internet

Live stream over the Internet.

We create a live signal at the venue, which we then process, encode and transmit onto a video server. This can be a YouTube channel, Facebook page or any other CDN platform (Content Delivery Network). If you don’t have access to any of these, don’t worry. We can broadcast your event on our Playo.tv YouTube channel or on our internal CDN.

Live TV Broadcasts

Live TV Broadcasts.

A live signal from the venue can be sent straight to your contracted TV takers. Once you have your contract in place, we can lead the technical logistics directly with the TV station and arrange content delivery to a satellite, where it is picked up by the TV taker and broadcasted to the audience. To deliver a signal to a satellite, an SNG – a van with a dish antenna - is needed, which can then be provided either by the TV taker or by us.

Recordings

Recordings.

If you don’t wish to broadcast your event live but want to share it with the world later, we will record the entire event "as live" and provide you afterwards with the recordings, ready for distribution or further editing. We can, of course, provide you with the recordings even if your event is broadcasted live.
