Launched in 2016, LeSports Hong Kong is a new sports channel offering diverse sports and video content in collaboration with OTT services. The station is already preparing for future expansion with the recent installation of three Calrec Audio Summa digital audio consoles.
‘We are constantly striving to improve our programming and expand our multiformat content to attract new viewers,’ says PK Lee of LeSports Hong Kong. ‘The Summa consoles are an important step in achieving these goals, because they make even the most demanding audio playout very straightforward.’
Sales, system installation, and testing of LeSports’ new Summa deployment was handled by local systems integrator and pro audio specialist, Jolly Pro Audio, who also serves as Calrec’s regional distributor.
‘We’re pleased to welcome LeSports Hong Kong as a new Calrec Audio customer, and the sale represents Calrec’s first multiconsole Summa installation in Hong Kong,’ says, Executive Director, Andy Leung. ‘With its ultrasimplified control surface and revolutionary touch-screen interface, Summa gives LeSports simple and intuitive control over its often complex playout workflows.’
From the LeSports Hong Kong website, sports fans are able to access and stream a wide range of US, European and UK sports events with LeSports’ exclusive local commentary and stats added to each game. Offering live streaming as well as video on demand, LeSports offers apps for iPhone and Android smartphones and also provides a TV application developed for its own set-top boxes.
‘LeSports Hong Kong offers a valuable and welcome service by providing a diverse, professional, and high-quality line-up of online sports content to viewers,’ says Calrec Audio International Sales Manager, Anthony Harrison. ‘We’re pleased to welcome LeSports to the Calrec family as a brand-new customer.’
