MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference announces conference-wide partnerships with BlueFrame Technology and StatBroadcast® Systems for the 2018-19 academic year.
One year ago, conference administrators announced the launch of the Sunshine State Conference Digital Network, where, for the first time in league history all video content produced league-wide would be available in one place. Over 1500 events, including 11 conference championships, were broadcasted on the Sunshine State Conference Digital Network during its inaugural year, marking the venture a success after years of development.
Moving into year two, league administrators have chosen BlueFrame as the official streaming partner for the SSC Digital Network. With BlueFrame, all 11 SSC member institutions and the conference office have a dedicated video portal page where live and archived footage can be easily accessed. Fans can find high-quality video streams of SSC events for free on multiple platforms by visiting SunshineStateConference.tv on a computer or mobile device. The SSC Digital Network also offers custom-built apps on Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, and Roku. All apps are available now for free download by searching “SSC Digital Network.”
Along with the transition to BlueFrame, SSC administrators expressed value in a unified live stats offering by electing to partner with StatBroadcast® for 2018-19. The SSC and league members will now be able to deliver and distribute real-time statistical information to a variety of different platforms and audiences for free while maintaining a similar look and feel. The partnership with StatBroadcast® includes a conference-wide live scoreboard hosted on the SSC’s website and a central live stats page for all conference events.
Unified moves to BlueFrame and StatBroadcast® position the Sunshine State Conference among the top of NCAA Division II in regards to comprehensive live content offerings. Fans will be able to find live content on the SSC Digital Network, SSC Live Scoreboard, and SSC Stats Central beginning with a full slate of volleyball matches on August 24th.
