To expand local sports coverage, ELTA upgraded its broadcasting capabilities by introducing Taiwan’s first mobile production van — designed to deliver top-tier live coverage of domestic sporting events. Its debut broadcast took place on September 13 with the Asian Cup Archery Tournament, providing audiences with the most professional and immersive viewing experience.

Since its launch in 2008, ELTA has been committed to local sports broadcasting. After years of effort, the company unveiled a fully equipped mobile broadcasting system featuring six HD cameras (including long-zoom lenses), a slow-motion replay machine, an advanced graphics system, and full audio control equipment. Combined with a team of experienced technicians, commentators, and producers, ELTA ensures that even grassroots competitions are presented with world-class production quality.

The September 13 Asian Cup Archery Tournament featured the men’s and women’s recurve individual finals, all broadcast in high definition. Later in the month, ELTA covered national baseball events, including the National Baseball Championship, followed by October’s Black Panther Cup (high school baseball) and the Meihua Cup (college baseball). Viewers can watch on Chunghwa Telecom’s MOD or the upgraded ELTA OTT platform — accessible via TV, computer, tablet, or smartphone anytime, anywhere.

CEO Sally Chen stated that the mobile production van enhances flexibility and enables ELTA to support grassroots sports with better coverage. “We plan to produce at least 19 in-house events this quarter and over 38 next year,” Chen said. Beyond sports, the van will also serve for live coverage of conferences, concerts, and community events. Partnering with Chunghwa Telecom’s *hievent* cloud streaming service, ELTA continues to pioneer in digital media and live broadcasting.

At the “Your Generation, Our Future: A Forum with Sister Tsai” event organized by *Business Weekly*, Chunghwa Telecom and ELTA’s cloud video service “hievent” provided live online streaming, ensuring the discussion reached a broader audience.

The forum gathered high school students from across Taiwan to ask President-elect Tsai Ing-Wen their most pressing questions. “Education reform” emerged as the top concern. Tsai encouraged students to break free from the mindset that youth limits their potential. She emphasized that after high school, university should not be the only option, and that young people must engage with society instead of isolating themselves academically. “You must connect with society and break away from the idea that success means only being ‘highly educated,’” she said. For students unable to attend, the event was streamed live via Chunghwa Telecom and ELTA’s hievent service.

In the 4G era, Chunghwa Telecom and ELTA’s *hievent* platform has powered numerous live broadcasts for both corporate and public events — including Legislative Yuan proceedings, Delta Electronics investor meetings, the 18th Golden Diamond Awards, and Taipei Philharmonic’s spring concert. Through hievent, organizations can broadcast content seamlessly across multiple devices, allowing audiences to access information anytime, anywhere.

*hievent* offers a one-stop solution — from on-site filming to live streaming and post-production VOD hosting. Businesses can avoid complex vendor coordination while enjoying custom-branded playback pages featuring their own logos, strengthening brand recognition and audience engagement.

As the *.TV* era dawns, corporate marketing is shifting from static *.com* content to dynamic video promotion — and *hievent* stands as the ultimate choice for enterprise video communication and branding.

To nurture local talent in digital storytelling and strengthen Taiwan’s film and television competitiveness, ELTA Technology partnered with the “Chunghwa Telecom 2016 Digital Innovation Application Series Competition” to establish the “ELTA Script Collaboration Award,” offering a NT$600,000 grant to the winning screenplay.

As digital convergence reshapes media, devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets have become new platforms for video content. Traditional TV’s dominance is fading, and in this multi-platform era, compelling content has become the key to audience engagement. CEO Sally Chen stated that high-quality content is essential for media success. The ELTA Script Collaboration Award aims to discover outstanding scripts for ELTA’s first original drama production, scheduled to begin within two years. In addition, in line with Taiwan’s Satellite Broadcasting Act revisions — which encourage media to fulfill social responsibilities and promote local culture — ELTA hopes this initiative will give emerging creators a meaningful platform to showcase their work.

The award selection takes place within the “MOD Microfilm and Short Film Creation Contest,” part of the Chunghwa Telecom 2016 competition series. ELTA will select promising microfilm submissions and commission the winning team to adapt their short film into a mini-series script, which could become ELTA’s first original drama. The winning team will receive NT$600,000 and have their work broadcast on ELTA’s TV channels.

A strong script is the foundation of great storytelling. By offering a generous award, ELTA hopes to encourage young Taiwanese creators and students to pursue digital media production — transforming quality written stories into screen adaptations that elevate Taiwan’s film and TV industry and expand its global reach.
