GamePlan and Alpha Video Announce 360º Solutions

Alpha Video's Sports & Entertainment Group enters into corporate partnership to deliver state-of-the-art technology for sports and entertainment facilities and organizations

 

Minneapolis, MN, March 13, 2009– In their continuing expansion of video technology, GamePlan Technologies and Alpha Video announce a corporate partnership to deliver a 360 Degree (360º) Solution with state of the art technology for sports and entertainment facilities and organizations. The complexity of integrating hardware and software to deliver video, audio, pictures and data via IP based networks requires strong technical expertise, particularly with the rapidly increasing demand for HD content. The 360º Solution covers all of the athletic department’s multi-media needs including television production, web systems, digital signage, camera systems and coaching software.

 

"Alpha Video is very excited about our partnership with GamePlan Technologies. Our expertise in the design, installation and support of cutting edge, affordable video and communications systems coupled with GamePlan’s unique line of digital video editing, archiving and content distribution systems will allow us to provide best of class, turnkey solutions for all of an athletic organization’s diverse media needs. No other company, or collaboration of companies offers the full line of integrated products and services that the GamePlan/Alpha Video partnership can," said Jeffrey Volk, Director of the Alpha Video Sports & Entertainment Group.

 

Why GamePlan solutions? "This generation of athletes belongs to a group that we call ‘first generation digital citizens.’" The types of communication used by this generation daily are part of GPNet--text messaging, online video, message boards. These are the methods that allow coaches to effectively reach today’s very media literate athletes," noted Bill Levy, COO of GamePlan. And unlike many digital media solutions with web delivery offered in the market today, GamePlan maintains outstanding video quality.

 

"The picture quality of Game Plan’s MPEG4 video is better than anything I’ve ever used. I also enjoy the mobility of the laptops, which gives me the freedom to watch games and cut ups at home or on the plane." - Ben Sirmans, Running Backs Coach, Boston College.

 

The 360º Solution from Alpha Video and GamePlan offer much more software and hardware than any competitive solutions for the price, but more importantly Alpha Video’s integration expertise coupled with GamePlan’s cutting edge software provides supportable solutions that can grow with the client’s needs. Technical experts are looking for open format, more affordable and better supported digital solutions and 360º Solutions from GamePlan and Alpha Video are the future of the industry.
