In the fast-paced world of live sports broadcasting, delivering real-time, enriched content to global audiences poses immense technical challenges. As high-frequency multimedia data continues to grow in volume and complexity, media companies require smarter, more adaptable infrastructures to maintain quality, reduce latency, and scale efficiently. This is where the ENACT project steps in.
ENACT is pioneering a next-generation Cognitive Computing Continuum (CCC) that empowers applications to self-optimize across the edge-cloud infrastructure. MOG Technologies, a leading innovator in media technology, is leveraging ENACT’s cutting-edge architecture to reshape the way live sports events are streamed, annotated, and enhanced.
The use case led by MOG Technologies focuses on live football matches, utilizing a high-performance distributed media processing pipeline. Video streams from multiple HD cameras—each transmitting at rates of up to 3 Gbps—are captured and analyzed in real-time. These streams are processed through parallel data paths that handle core broadcasting, AI-powered annotation, and format conversion. The system dynamically activates before each event and allows for post-event offline processing when necessary.

What sets this pilot apart is the integration of ENACT’s advanced orchestration, resource scheduling, and security mechanisms. Key ENACT components include Deployment Management, which simplifies the configuration and deployment of services across edge and cloud resources, and Resource & Process Management, which ensures seamless, efficient allocation of processing tasks. This level of intelligent orchestration significantly reduces operational overhead, minimizes latency, and improves energy efficiency.
By harnessing ENACT’s capabilities, MOG Technologies is eliminating the traditional need for manual annotation teams, instead relying on AI-enhanced metadata generation that augments the viewer experience. Future improvements will include fine-tuning AI models for event detection and deepening integration with ENACT’s forecasting and dynamic orchestration tools.
This use case is a compelling example of how ENACT’s vision of hyper-distributed, self-adaptive applications can revolutionize not only technical infrastructures but also end-user experiences in demanding real-world environments like live sports broadcasting.
