The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has selected Octoshape, an expert in cloud-based streaming technology, to provide the streaming services for their online TV channel ParalympicSport.TV.

More than 780 hours of live sport were broadcast on paralympic.org throughout London 2012 across five channels. For 2014, Octoshape will provide enhancements like geo-targeting, picture-in-picture capabilities and video time-shifting which will catapult the sport to even greater levels of popularity.

“We are delighted to partner with Octoshape again for the Sochi Paralympics to showcase the Paralympic Winter Games to as many people as possible around the world,” said Craig Spence, IPC Media & Communications Director. “By using Octoshape’s streaming technology we ensure that Paralympic sport fans can enjoy the Games in the highest possible quality.”
