One of South America\u2019s most iconic races, the event featured multiple distances\u2014from 5K and 11K to half marathon (21K), full marathon (42K), and a 50K ultra\u2014attracting nearly <strong>500 participants from around the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park, a <strong>UNESCO Biosphere Reserve<\/strong> often referred to as the \u201c<strong>Eighth Wonder of the World<\/strong>,\u201d boasts a unique natural landscape and harsh climate that create an exceptionally challenging environment for live broadcasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PlayMedia Chile<\/strong>, an audiovisual technology company specializing in remote-area live productions, was appointed by the event organizer, <strong>The Massif<\/strong>, as the official broadcaster. For the first time ever, they broadcast live from inside the national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To deliver a <strong>long-duration, full-course, multi-camera HD livestream without interruption<\/strong>, PlayMedia Chile partnered with <strong>DuoChile<\/strong> and <strong>Kiloview<\/strong> to deploy an <strong>IP-based encoding and transmission solution<\/strong>.

The production team faced numerous obstacles that pushed both technology and field operations to their limits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unstable connectivity<\/strong> across large portions of the course, including complete signal loss in valleys and lowlands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harsh environmental conditions<\/strong>, with temperatures dropping to \u20138\u00b0C, strong winds, and rugged terrain requiring portable and durable gear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simultaneous signal handling<\/strong> from multiple sources, including fixed cameras, drones, and mobile teams tracking runners across all race categories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Workflow complexity<\/strong>, demanding highly compatible and adaptive encoding solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited budget<\/strong>, requiring compact, energy-efficient, and rapidly deployable devices for on-site use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>To succeed, the team needed an <strong>efficient, flexible, and reliable solution<\/strong> to ensure signal stability, multi-source video support, and fast deployment\u2014<strong>all within
