Streamlining the Esports Event Process

Let’s think of every pixel on a screen as an independent source of information. We will look at the fidelity between an author’s creation and the final product displayed with different eyes. 

Today, we have another set of fantastic guests, Mike Ellsworth and Jason Tirado. Mike is a Senior Sales Engineer at Lightware Visual Engineering, North America, and Jason has been Lightware’s President since 2017. 

We had a conversation about Lightware’s origins, its core values based on democratizing information, and its drive to constantly push the barriers of technology’s limits, creating and developing new ways of portraying audio and video. 

They share their experiences and creations in the audiovisual space, comment on Lightware’s recent decision to become part of the Esports Trade Association, and give their thoughts on where they see the gaming industry heading based on the innovations in the AV.
