Content Creation: Esports events with Intel Arc

Greetings! My name is Tre - Network Engineer, Muscian, and Gamer.

My small enitity is known as Assist Tech Solutions. We offer bleeding edge technology solutions for content creators and gamers.   

We also run gaming events for the local gaming communities under the name BeretEntertainment.

Alright lets jump in shall we?

 

Recently, I've been laying the foundation for a new Esports Gaming League in my local community. I am excited to report that I will have the full support of my cities Parks and Recreation Department. Not only will they be hosting my event in one of their event centers, but they will also be advertising this event in the quarly activites guide- which is distributed to the entire city. They are even willing to make this a reoccuring event - that is, if all goes well. 

So this is great news! But now I have a bit of a scaling issue. Normally my gaming events are on the smaller side, so naturally the amount of equipment I have available for an event featured in a cities activity guide is "not quite up to snuff". I will need more gaming machines cable of gaming in 1080p 60FPS. I eventually found myself performing many test on the new Nvida 3050, AMD 6500, and of course Intel ARC 580 graphics cards. Being a tech enthusiast and early adopter of bleeing edge technologies, I found myself also testing the content creation cablblites of these grahics cards as well, particular the new intel AV1 encoding. This, and previously established methodoligies and workflows has resulted in the creation of many theories and ideas for content creation. And well.. now..

I am designing an autonomous capture solution that is able to capture content on esports gaming machines and IP cameras on a local network. Highlights and key moments will automatically be recorded and captured during gaming events using visual triggers. This method will be powered and optimized by the new AV1 encoder available on Intel Arc GPUs.This will showcase both the gaming performance and capture/encode capabilities of Intel Arc Graphics.

Currently, I am seeking an In-Kind sponsorship to obtain additional gaming machines for this series of events.
