The Aurora by SiOnyx, the world’s first day / night action camera, made its long-anticipated debut in Denver last week at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market as the official product launch. The Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is the nation’s largest outdoor gear and apparel trade show. Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) is the association partner, title sponsor, and education provider of the events. OIA unites and serves the outdoor industry in a variety of ways, making this event an ideal venue for the launch of SiOnyx’s latest creation. The show drew huge crowds as always, and Aurora by SiOnyx generated an enthusiastic response from the outdoor specialty retailers, who are quick to recognize the camera’s unique performance and versatility.

Awards and Accolades

In addition to winning the Best in Show award, our camera has received plenty of positive reviews. Its distinctive features captured the attention of Gear Junkie, who said of the Aurora: “this sub-8 ounce camera captures a remarkable amount of color and detail in the pitch-dark.”

Slash Gear has hailed it as the answer to the rugged GoPro’s night-vision limits, calling the SiOnyx Aurora “a one of a kind consumer action camera that has the uncanny ability to bring light even in the darkest of nights.”

The tech pros at ubergizmo went as far as to say, “When people look into the Aurora’s viewfinder for the first time, they are blown away,” and added that “this is the difference between ‘low light’ and ‘night-vision’ capabilities.” And 9TO5Toys argues, “the quality of the Aurora camera at night cannot be beaten.”

Why You Need Aurora by SiOnyx

The Aurora by SiOnyx is the world’s first IP67 day/night action camera with integrated HD night vision. Designed to capture HD videos or still photos from noonday sun to moonless starlight, the Aurora boasts a built in OLED display, iOS and Android Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, g-sensor trigger and e-compass, making it the perfect adventure camera for outdoor enthusiasts. A custom SiOnyx CMOS sensor is the secret to the brand’s night-vision prowess and allows you to capture events round the clock—because SiOnyx understands that life doesn’t end when the sun goes down.

SBJ Tech: Timberwolves’ reported “$5M-plus” ticket-revenue gain puts tech ROI under the microscope

SBJ Tech: Timberwolves’ reported “$5M-plus” ticket-revenue gain puts tech ROI under the microscope

Sports Business Journal’s SBJ Tech newsletter reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves saw a “$5M-plus” increase in ticket revenue. SBJ Tech also described teams and partners treating technology as a way to support revenue and operations, including EA Sports working with Texas on a branded “College Football Ultimate Tailgate” event ahead of a marquee game. Athletic Business reported that Next League co-founder David Nugent said “billions” are going into venues and outlined an operating reality in which tech stacks span media distribution, marketing systems and sports-ops tools, pushing teams toward an outcomes-first approach to vendor selection. SportBusiness argued that consistent PR and conference planning have become part of the go-to-market infrastructure for sports tech and venue suppliers, shaping how quickly products get shortlisted and adopted.

  • 01Minnesota Timberwolves achieved $5M-plus ticket revenue increase, offering finance teams a tangible reference point for justifying tech investments beyond soft metrics like app downloads.
  • 02Sports properties now require tech stacks spanning ticketing, identity systems, connectivity, CRM, and data capture—thousands of specialized vendors rather than one platform—making integration capacity the scarce resource.
  • 03Vendor credibility and public case studies increasingly influence procurement timelines; teams shortlist suppliers with clear narratives and media presence faster through stakeholder reviews.

Sports rights deals are being won with data and distribution, not bigger checks

Sports rights deals are being won with data and distribution, not bigger checks

Sports media rights negotiations are shifting toward distribution scale and audience data as primary bargaining chips, according to a 2026 Looper Insights survey reported by NewscastStudio. That change is landing in real contracts and operations, from Formula 1 renewing with beIN SPORTS across Asia with a fan base SVG pegged at 447 million in APAC, to the reformed Pac-12’s 2026-27 start under a multi-year USA Sports deal reported by Sports Video Group and Athletic Business. SportBusiness data puts global sports media rights value at just under $58 billion in 2025 and projects $66.42 billion for 2026, while also showing concentration: the top ten markets are 83.7% of value and the U.S. alone is 50.1%. For enterprise operators, the consequence shows up in product requirements, measurement and distribution plumbing: rights packages increasingly demand identity, discovery, and localized delivery, not only production capability or a headline rights fee.

  • 01A useful negotiating benchmark is emerging: 38.6% of executives said global scale matters most in rights talks and 36.9% said audience data does, versus 18.8% who prioritized rights-fee certainty (Looper Insights via NewscastStudio).
  • 02Concentration is the planning constraint: SportBusiness reports the top ten markets now account for 83.7% of global rights value and the U.S. holds 50.1%, which affects where global platforms and leagues will prioritize product localization, ad sales, and support.
  • 03Local distribution is getting more surgical: SVG reports MASN’s new multiyear Spectrum carriage covers specific pockets of Maryland, Virginia and eastern North Carolina, a reminder that “available nationally” is increasingly a patchwork of entitlements and channels.

SportBusiness is selling Deals Tracker as a dataset of 2,000 sponsorship portfolios

SportBusiness is selling Deals Tracker as a dataset of 2,000 sponsorship portfolios

SportBusiness is promoting Deals Tracker as a structured dataset intended to support sponsorship buying and selling. The product includes sponsorship portfolios for over 2,000 sports properties, contact details for 10,000 decision-maker contacts, and visibility into when deals expire, according to SportBusiness’ demo page. The pitch arrives as sports organizations and brands look for more consistent ways to value rights. Athletic Director U reported that Under Armour moved from “gut instinct” to a ranking tool for Division I programs. MarketScale’s read: the operational change is toward sponsorship procurement that looks more like enterprise sourcing, with systems-of-record, activation benchmarks, and documented decision trails, aligning with a broader focus on process-tracing and analytics described in a 2025 review in Psychology of Sport and Exercise on ScienceDirect.

  • 01For sponsorship teams that still track deals in spreadsheets, “deal expiry” visibility is becoming the practical trigger for pipeline planning, because it ties inventory timing to budget cycles and RFP calendars (SportBusiness).
  • 02If rights valuations are going to be defensible internally, the next differentiator is less the model and more the audit trail, who approved, what data was used, and how activation performance is measured across properties, an emphasis consistent with process-focused decision making research (ScienceDirect).
