On June 23rd, the 2014 edition of Wimbledon, the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, will kick off at the All England Club in London. To support this year's exciting event, Wimbledon launched a website design "reflecting the attraction and heritage of Wimbledon’s unique appeal" complete with enhanced live radio and video broadcast service, Live @ Wimbledon, as well as a range of video content such as previews, reviews, match highlights and archive footage.
This year, we are excited to announce that Wimbledon is taking advantage of the Brightcove Video Cloud online video platform, as well as our player SDKs, to power many of the new video experiences you will find on the Wimbledon site. These new video offerings, combined with the Live @ Wimbledon experience, will allow fans a greater interaction and engagement on Wimbledon.com. Wimbledon’s video service is available on Wimbledon.com and in the Wimbledon mobile app.
The team at Wimbledon specifically chose to partner with Brightcove this year because of Video Cloud's proven ability to deliver high quality video experiences across every screen and device, ensuring that fans can tune in and watch video content anytime and anywhere.
We can't wait to watch this year's Wimbledon unfold, so make sure you tune in at Wimbledon.com and take advantage of the exciting new video features available.
