Technology Design, Integration & Support for Professional Sports

Helping teams, leagues, and rights holders design, integrate, and support the broadcast, production, and content workflows behind modern sports media.

What We Do

Broadcast, Media Workflow & Technology Solutions

Professional sports media moves faster than commercial broadcast. A play happens, and the social clip is expected before the next snap. An archive grows by hundreds of terabytes a season. Editors are pulling assets from places the MAM never indexed. Game-day infrastructure has to hold up under conditions where failure becomes the story. The teams winning the content race are the ones whose underlying systems were designed for the pace they’re running.
CHESA helps professional sports organizations design, integrate, and support the broadcast, production, and content workflows that modern sports media requires.

Live Production & Game Day Broadcast Systems

Design and integrate dependable live production environments for game-day broadcast, in-venue presentation, and rights-holder feeds, including SMPTE ST 2110 IP infrastructure where appropriate.

Sports Content Operations at Scale

Build content workflows that turn around social clips, highlights, recruiting media, and brand content at the speed sports moves — across multiple sports, seasons, and platforms.

Adobe-First Editorial Workflows with Helmut4 Automation

Operationalize Adobe Premiere Pro project automation through Helmut4 and helmut.cloud, the U.S. distribution of which CHESA holds exclusively. Project lifecycle, ingest, organization, and archive — automated.

Discovery & Design Before the Build

Document current systems, map workflows, identify the bottlenecks, and create a phased roadmap before the next season starts.

Systems Integration Across Production, Post, Cloud & Archive

Connect production, editorial, MAM, cloud storage, and archive into a coherent workflow — so editors stop hunting for media and start telling stories.

Service Level Agreements with Game-Day Response

Keep mission-critical sports media systems running with proactive maintenance, defined response tiers, and game-day-aware processes.

What CHESA Makes Possible for Professional Sports

Tangible outcomes our sports customers achieve once their media systems are designed, integrated, and supported the right way.
Turn around social clips in minutes, not hours

Move from capture to publish at the speed your social, brand, and content teams need to stay relevant in real time.

Operate at game-day reliability standards

Run broadcast and production systems that hold up under the conditions of live sports — high stakes, high traffic, high visibility.

Scale archive economics

Manage 100+ TB seasonal archive growth without your cloud bill outpacing your content strategy.

Bring editors out of file folders, back into stories

Replace asset-hunting with a workflow editors actually use, so creative work happens instead of file management.

Unify production, post, and distribution

Connect the systems your teams work in every day, so the gap between captured footage and published content disappears.

Built for the Demands of Modern Sports Media

Sports media teams are responsible for more than producing video. They are managing live broadcast, social and digital content, brand and sponsor production, recruiting and personnel media, season archive, and rights-holder coordination — across multiple sports, multiple venues, and multiple platforms. The systems behind that work have to keep up with the pace sports actually moves.

CHESA helps professional sports organizations create systems that are:

Game-Day Reliable

Designed to perform when failure isn’t an option — live broadcast, in-venue production, rights-holder delivery.

Speed-Optimized

Built for the real-time pace of social, digital, and brand content workflows.

Cost-Aware

Engineered with storage economics that scale with archive growth, including cloud architectures that manage egress.

Workflow-Native

Connected through Adobe-first editorial and Helmut4 automation, so the tooling supports the work instead of obstructing it.

Brand-Focused

Structured around the work sports media teams actually do — fan engagement, brand storytelling, sponsor activation, and preserving the season.

Design a Media Workflow That Supports Your Mission

CHESA works collaboratively with professional sports organizations to understand how your team operates today, where current systems are creating friction, and what your content operations require going forward.

Whether you are starting with a discovery engagement, planning a MAM migration, operationalizing Helmut4, modernizing live production, or building an ongoing support strategy, CHESA can help you move forward with clarity.

Common Challenges
We Help Professional Sports Solve

“We can’t get social clips to post in time.”

CHESA can redesign your capture-to-publish workflow to compress the time between play and post, with automated handoffs from production to editorial to distribution.

“Our editors pull media from outside the MAM, and we have no visibility.”

CHESA can implement editorial workflows through Helmut4 that bring all asset access back inside the project, with full visibility into what editors are using and where.

“Our archive grew 300 TB last season and our budget didn’t grow with it.”

CHESA can architect hybrid archive strategies using Backblaze B2 and other cost-efficient tiers, with predictable egress economics.

“Game day production failures become the story.”

CHESA can assess your live production chain for single points of failure and design redundancy, hitless protection, and monitoring built for game-day stakes.

“We’ve outgrown Reach Engine.”

CHESA has migrated flagship sports customers off Reach Engine to Mimir + Helmut4 + Backblaze workflows, with measurable improvements in editor productivity and project-level storage accountability.

“We need cloud, but egress will eat us alive.”

CHESA architects cloud workflows that use the Backblaze Bandwidth Alliance and Cloudflare R2 to keep egress costs from outpacing the content strategy.
