For basketball fans watching tonight’s 2009 NBA Draft live on television to see which team gets Blake Griffin, there’s no tolerance for lost video signals, dropped video or audio or anything else going wrong with the broadcast.

For the fifth year in a row, video conferencing managed service provider Glowpoint service will be making sure that all the audio and video signals are delivered perfectly for the live broadcast on ESPN. The Hillside, N.J.-based company also provides the same service during the NFL draft, says Jonathan Brust, vice president of marketing at Glowpoint.

This year’s coverage will include live audio/video feeds from 15 team headquarters, plus video (but no audio) feeds from three “war rooms” where the decisions are being made.

“We put significant resources into managing these events and there is no tolerance whatsoever with something going wrong on live TV with a sporting event,” Brust tells Channel Insider. “The nice thing is that the fact that we’ve been selected for the fifth year gives shows that we are delivering on that requirement.”
