If you’re designing a live video experience, you’re need to be concerned with the realities of scale and monetization. Big events like the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics were produced to reach a large audience, thereby maximizing their monetization potential. And to reach a large audience, a fair amount of IT sophistication is necessary to work with CDNs. The intersection of UX, IT and Business Experience of video, come together in the player experience.
