At a glance

Well Run delivered two-camera, federation-grade live streaming for Castors Braine and Antwerp Giants across a full FIBA-standard basketball season in Belgium. A complete graphics package, redundant encoding and multi-platform distribution ran on a compact kit and a lean crew, across the entire regular season.

It is the proof behind a simple claim: federation-grade output does not require an OB truck or a gallery of twelve. It requires the right rig, run reliably, every single week.

01 — The brief

Broadcast-grade coverage, on a club budget.

Belgian basketball clubs sit in a familiar bind. The federation and their audiences expect a watchable, professional broadcast — a clean feed, a real scoreboard, names on screen — but a full outside-broadcast production is priced for television, not for a club running a domestic season week after week.

The result, too often, is a coverage gap: a single locked-off webcam with no graphics, or matches that simply are not streamed at all. Castors Braine and Antwerp Giants needed the opposite — a broadcast standard that holds up every week, for an entire season, without a television budget behind it.

02 — What we did

One repeatable workflow, run every week.

The point of a season-long engagement is consistency. We built a single workflow and then ran it identically for every fixture — so the output never depended on who was in the building or how the night was going.

  1. 01

    Scope the season

    We locked the fixture list, surveyed each venue for power, light and a clean camera line, and agreed the distribution targets up front — so every match runs the same way, with no surprises on game night.

  2. 02

    Set the rig

    Two broadcast cameras — one manned for live follow, one fixed tactical wide — feed into APEX OS on a single touchscreen, with dual-path redundant encoding so a dropped connection never takes the game off air.

  3. 03

    Build the graphics package

    A federation-standard scoreboard, team lower-thirds and live clock integration — built once and reused identically across the season, for a consistent on-air look every club can put their name to.

  4. 04

    Go live, multi-platform

    A single clean feed is distributed to the federation platform and the clubs' own channels at the same time through Restream ME — our owned CDN, not a third-party reseller.

  5. 05

    Archive and hand back

    Every match is recorded in full. The archive and pull-ready clips are handed to the clubs after the final whistle, ready for social, sponsors and player highlights.

Federation-grade output isn't a truck and a crew of twelve. It's the right rig, run reliably, every single week.

04 — The outcome

A season on air, start to finish.

Across the full regular season, every scheduled home fixture went live as planned — none cancelled, none dropped mid-game, none lost to a technical failure. For a federation, that reliability is the headline: an audience that learns the games are always there is an audience that comes back.

The clubs ended the season with a complete, consistent broadcast archive and a repeatable production they can count on — the reason the engagement is ongoing, and the reason the same model now runs for leagues across four countries.

Questions, answered

How many cameras did Well Run use to broadcast the games?

Two. One manned camera for live follow and one fixed tactical wide — enough for federation-grade output on basketball, without the cost and crew of a larger rig.

Did this broadcast need an OB truck?

No. The entire production ran on APEX OS from a compact, carry-in kit — no outside-broadcast vehicle and no large gallery crew. That is precisely what lets a club-level budget carry a full season.

How is the live stream distributed to multiple platforms?

Through Restream ME, our owned CDN. A single clean feed reaches the federation platform and the clubs' channels at the same time, with redundant encoding so a dropped connection never takes the broadcast off air.

Can the same two-camera setup work for our federation or league?

Yes. The rig is identical whether it is basketball, football, ice hockey or beach soccer. We run the same lean model for leagues across four countries — scope your fixtures and the workflow ports directly.
