Looking Ahead

By Ken Kerschbaumer Sports Video Group, Executive Director, Editorial

T

he 2020 Mobile Sports Production Yearbook once again highlights the great new trucks that have hit the road in the past 12 months. In a year when there was more and more discussion about REMI and at-home productions, it is pretty clear that the clients who rely on remote production vehicles aren’t shying away from production facilities on wheels. For all involved — equipment manufacturers, facility providers, their clients, freelancers, and production professionals — this is good news. Why? Because it points to a future where trucks will remain a viable component of events big and small in an era of potential upheaval and vast change. Let’s take a quick look at some of the “change agents” that will transform the nature of remote production: The Move to IP It wasn’t too long ago that the hype around IP saw industry trade shows featuring billboards proclaiming that “SDI is Dead.” But, in the intervening months, the reality has become that while IP is a great fit for certain types of shows it doesn’t make sense for everything. The end result is that production facility providers are taking a pragmatic approach to the move to IP, embracing it when it will create new business opportunities or operational efficiencies and sticking with SDI when it doesn’t. It’s clear that SDI will be here for many years to come, although the continued maturity of IP standards (and the subsequent ability to get rid of things like IP gateways) will make IP a more attractive option. The Move to HDR and 4K Is 2020 poised to become the year when HDR 1080p becomes the primary production format to power new consumer experiences? Gazing into the crystal ball, it certainly appears so. That move will add some complexity to the production workflow, especially with respect to meeting the needs of both HDR and SDR viewers, but it looks like gains are being made every couple of months that will make the process smoother and easier. Oh, and as efforts in HDR and 4K expand, look for an uptick in IP-based production facilities as they will more easily accommodate the formats. The Move to Virtualized Technology Of all the change agents, it is the move to virtualized technology that holds the most promise to be transformative. At the IBC show, NEP displayed its “Intelligent OB” (iOB), a production facility without wheels (it measures approximately 24x18 ft.) and, more importantly, without a core technical infrastructure, as the plan is to connect it to a remote data center. It’s the first glimpse at a future when the days of building $20 million trucks gives way to less-costly trucks that can share a technical infrastructure rather than each having their own. Not only will that mean new cost savings for the incumbent players, but it also could open up the opportunity for new players to join the market as the initial financial commitment to get trucks on the road could be a fraction of what it currently is. The good news is that all of these changes provide opportunities for all. And the even better news is that the professionals at the core of all of the remote production facility providers are always up for new challenges as they look to meet the needs of their clients in the best way possible.

Mobile-Production Leaders Sound Off on State of the Industry and What to Expect in 2020 Compiled and edited by Jason Dachman and Kristian Hernandez

T

he mobile-production business is booming, with more live sports productions in 2019 than ever. But truck providers face a host of challenges when it comes to next-gen technology and their bottom line. They are being asked to deliver more for less as clients look to trim production costs and explore new at-home–production workflows. In addition, technology continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, with the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards being integrated into IP-based equipment and infrastructure aboard trucks. These developments will lay the groundwork for the future — including the increasing number of 4K, HDR, and 1080p sports productions — but will also require costly up-front investment. SVG sat down with more than a dozen industry leaders to discuss the current state of the business, the impact of the market’s continuing consolidation, the greatest opportunities for growth, and where they see the business headed in the coming years. Here are the executives we spoke with:

of events. We don’t see a huge growth, but we see maintaining our growth so we’re happy with it. Our 18 trucks are keeping busy, and there are a few more events. We’ve scored some contracts, which helps us out. We don’t see it as a downfall; it’s a healthy business.

Priess: We have experienced significant increases in revenue this past year, given our expanded mobile fleet, our ability to provide 4K facilities, and the growing REMI market. With our strategic partnerships and our expanded services, there is no doubt we will have strong growth going forward.

Chase: The remote-production business continues to be healthy and evolving. We are resolved in staying with the latest trends as sports content continues to expand. We are expecting growth along with that over the next 12-24 months.

Rubenstein: I think the remote-production business is healthy because … consumers are demanding live content more than ever. So the need for cost-effective solutions to give it to them is in demand. More networks and online platforms continue to recognize that demand and turn to companies like Ross Mobile. In the next 12 months, needs of the networks will continue to scale to match consumer demand.

Garvin: Yes. There is competition and innovation happening in the remote-production business, and that is a good thing. New technology offers opportunities and challenges while our clients are receiving more value.

Harabin: In terms of the number of events being produced

Snyder: The remote-production industry is healthy and

Executive Perspectives

continued from page 14

As at-home/REMI productions become more popular, what is the effect on your business? Carlyle: We haven’t seen any growth in REMI. We’ve seen it staying the same. We do AHL and CHL broadcasts, and we do some ESPN REMIs, but it hasn’t really hit our market.

Chase: It continues to change our business’s dynamics. We have seen an increase in the number of at-home/REMI productions for college-level events, which have provided interesting opportunities for us in the full-truck production events as well. Different clients have different approaches and attitudes to at-home/REMI, and we remain flexible and nimble to meet those requests.

Garvin: At-home is a term that fails to describe the variety of options available to our clients. With our 4,000 live events a year, there are dozens of ways to make live TV. In some cases, when resources are already centralized and keeping crew costs low is paramount, what many think of as “at-home” production makes total sense. Other times, keeping people onsite in a mobile unit and remoting in more resources to deliver higher quality is the best solution. We offer both of these as well as traditional mobile-unit services.

Harabin: Gravity Media has provided engineering, mobile units, and general institutional knowledge of the workflow on over 2,000 REMI productions. We are leveraging our leadership position in the REMI space by focusing on two things: 1) perfecting the existing workflow to deliver more value to our clients and 2) designing the next-gen REMI/athome/homerun production model.

Levine: Currently, it has minimal effect since we are already involved with REMI productions. There is a need and investments are being made in building powerful, versatile singletruck units that can streamline workflows, but be flexible enough to scale up to support mid-sized and large events.

Orgera: We provide services to our clients, and REMI [productions] have become a part of how some productions are produced. We will continue to support our clients in every way possible. Priess: It is considerable. We are investing in both the transmission infrastructure and the production facilities dedicated to REMI productions. We just completed our new dedicated REMI control room, upgraded all our in-house transmission capabilities, and have our first remote truck for this market arriving this spring.

Sullivan: We do what our customers ask. If they want REMI/homerun, we give them REMI/homerun. If they want a professional or collegiate championship, we can do that as well. 20

Dome Productions’ newest mobile production unit Showcase recently rolled out the NHL All-Star Game in San Jose, CA, producing a live NHL 19 esports event onsite.

Sexton: At-home or REMI productions will have a minimal effect on our business. We are positioning ourselves to handle that need as it becomes necessary. The only negative effect could be a lower-than-normal truck revenue per show. Do you see esports production as an important part of the business going forward? Chase: While esports is a very hot trend at the moment and will continue to be a part of our business, it is still too early to label it “the largest potential for growth.”

Orgera: Esports is a growing part of our business, and we look forward to building the brands with our clients. Priess: We have been involved with esports for the past two years, providing production facilities for a daily gaming series and well as competition coverage. There is no doubt to us that both esports and REMI productions will be the largest growth area.

Rubenstein: Ross Mobile has become one of the leading esports-production providers in the industry. A large portion of our business has become esports. We have native 1080p capabilities across our fleet of trucks and flypacks and the ability to [produce] turnkey graphics, workflows, AR, and every aspect of an esports production. RMP has provided some level of service on over 50 esports events this past year alone.

Snyder: Esports is an established portion of our business. Live streams are growing and becoming increasingly sophisticated. Sexton: Esports remains a very important focus for us as an organization across the board. The needs of many partners require more than just a production-facilities provider, one that understands technology and the deliverables as well as the entertainment environment as a whole. continued on page 26

What impact do you believe recent industry consolidation has had on the business? Carlyle: I think consolidation is definitely going to continue, whether it’s consolidation or companies dropping off, because, I think, the next leap in technology is a huge capital leap. The smaller vendors are really going to have a challenge. I also look at it as opportunity: since people don’t like to put all their eggs in one basket, it’s an opportunity for those companies that are not part of this consolidation.

Chase: Industry consolidation can limit clients’ choices and their ability to pursue competitive pricing and options. It can also make it difficult for smaller, startup vendors to survive. CSP has been around for 30 years because we continue to be nimble and lean from an organizational standpoint, while providing top-quality engineering and equipment. Garvin: Too much consolidation can limit our clients’ choices, but the trend will continue as long as companies are willing to add debt.

Levine: I do think the industry will continue to see consolidation, especially as clients look for ways to streamline their operations and look for a single or small group of trusted providers that can deliver great service with an integrated set of solutions.

Orgera: It hurts the industry as a whole for both vendors and our mutual clients as it limits competition and stagnates the growth of businesses.

Rubenstein: Consolidation allows companies to better serve its customers. At Ross Mobile, we support the needs of other like companies in the industry with the end goal and result always being to help the content providers and to better serve the viewers. Consolidation is vital to the industry to allow networks to thrive and continue to produce content in a budget-conscious marketplace.

Sullivan: Consolidation is not recent. It has been going on for the 26 years Game Creek has been in business. It shrinks the number of companies that compete for business but does not shrink the competitive nature of those companies. Sexton: Consolidation can be both good and bad for any industry. It allows those companies that struggle financially or with growth to become part of a bigger organization that has the technological and financial resources to help them continue their success. On the negative side, it not only reduces competition but forces others to do business with their competitors. 26

NEP Group continued to consolidate in 2019, acquiring the seven companies seen in the graphic above.

Has the explosion of OTT and live-streaming content opened new business opportunities? Carlyle: I’m waiting to see how over-the-top comes into the market. Is it going to end up being in the midsize trucks or in the little trucks? We see OTT having more content, and so that’s why we’ve put [our new truck] Showcase on the road. It’s a different revenue model.

Chase: OTT is definitely where the growth portion of our industry is evolving, particularly in the sector of international clients producing U.S. events. Garvin: We are certainly working more OTT events than we have in the past. Multiple feeds is something we have been doing for a long time, but the total number of feeds continues to grow, demanding more resources and feeds from our mobile units.

Levine: We continue to see growth in secondary streaming feeds from the main broadcasts, along with a number of clients broadcasting directly to OTT platforms. With the growth of NEP Media Solutions in the U.S., our clients can manage their content and set scheduled delivery to multiple OTT platforms in an efficient, streamlined process.

Orgera: Yes, we have seen a growth in this area with our clients and welcome opportunities to help our clients grow their projects/business. Priess: OneSoccer, the dedicated soccer-streaming platform in Canada, was recently launched and is certainly one of our largest clients. This season alone, we provided live coverage of 135 soccer games. While our primary clients are broadcast-sports–based, we have experienced a sharp increase in bookings for streaming services, such as Netflix, DAZN, and Twitch. continued on page 32

Rubenstein: Ross Mobile has grown considerably through the production of live-streaming content, especially in the areas of esports and supporting productions outside the U.S., doing shows in Mexico and Canada.

Sullivan: Game Creek is doing more events for OTT and more live streaming, but I would hardly call it an “explosion.” Most of the streaming we currently do is in conjunction with one of our standard productions.

Sexton: Certainly. The broadcast ecosystem is changing daily with new technology offerings, which can afford more opportunity, especially for companies that have addressed the streaming/OTT world as a new medium that is growing year over year.

What technical challenges do you see as the most vexing for your engineering team? Carlyle: We’re starting to find that, as technology develops and we start buying [Sony] 4300 cameras and [Sony] 5500 cameras, the venues aren’t keeping up. They’re all triax, and we’re now finding that that’s an issue going forward. Who is going to change all these venues? The vendor? The broadcaster? The venue?

Garvin: We don’t view “technical challenges” as vexing. On the contrary, challenges are opportunities. The major challenge is the transition to end-to-end native IP systems, including the implementation of ISO4 and ISO5. Luckily, with two IP 2110 mobile units recently launched, we have the right people and manufacturer relationships to properly think it through and execute.

Levine: New challenges are here today in the world of IP. New 2110 IP solutions are of great benefit to the future of our industry. Don’t be fooled, it’s not simple. NEP’s skilled engineering talent from around the globe continues to impress me as we overcome challenges every day.

Priess: The transition to a complete IP workflow is one that we are certainly anticipating, given all the benefits. However, until there are more manufacturers onboard with a consistent standard, we are not quite ready to take the leap.

Snyder: It is great that equipment manufacturers build expanded capability into equipment, but getting licensed for specific capabilities takes a long time when it should be a straightforward process.

Sullivan: Dealing with the different and new challenges created by SMPTE 2110.

Outside of technological challenges, what are your biggest commercial (or government-regulation–related) concerns today? Carlyle: I’d say a big part of it is training and the aging freelance market. That’s a challenge that has to be overcome, and we’ve taken that on.

Harabin: On the business side, vendors of other produc32

Levine: Staying on top of costs is always a top concern. Working with our clients as a partner allows us to look for cost-efficient solutions to their needs and that helps keep the business sustainable.

Priess: Some client budgets are either stagnant or shrinking due to decreased viewership on traditional platforms. This is requiring us to do more with less — a real challenge at times to maintain the caliber of the production and meet viewer expectations when revenues don’t always justify it. Snyder: Chinese tariffs have certainly added to equipment costs. When and if they are removed, I do not see an immediate return to the prior costs. Our government seems to be interested in tariffs on goods from other regions; this could cause additional cost escalation. Sullivan: Hiring and retaining effective engineers and drivers. Finding trained personnel at every level of our productions is the biggest concern facing our industry.

Sexton: We continue to stay on top of regulation around the international broadcast environment. And what keeps us up at night is the balancing of finances to ensure we keep up with technological advances, which you have to do to be competitive.

What are the biggest opportunities for growth and future success? Carlyle: Over-the-top and esports. We’re excited about that and the technology on over-the-top. Take it right from site to the app or the website, wherever you want to go. And I think esports has rejuvenated our [staff].

Chase: I believe standard changes to 1080p, 4K, and IP production are all opportunities for future growth and success. While we are seeing some of this today, it has a great potential for a much wider adoption in the future. 5G data transmission could very well be the change agent for this. continued on page 38

produce, create, and distribute live video. We are now able to provide ultimate flexibility and efficiency, but production is still a creative art, so, just because we can do something technologically, doesn’t mean we should.

Levine: Opportunities for growth go hand in hand with partnering with our clients on integrated solutions. Working together to create ways to enhance the production and build efficiencies in the compound. Our success will still be measured by the talented engineering teams we have managing the systems.

Priess: Esports and REMI productions will be the stimulus to grow our market share. Our biggest challenges going forward are two-fold. The first is keeping up with the technical transitions, moving into the HDR and possible 8K world. The other is expanding our great team, finding the right people that are essential for our growth.

Rubenstein: We are continuing to pursue higher-level shows with cost-effective solutions. The majority of our facilities are now 1080p, and we are [exploring] more ways to add value to the end product. Future growth and success will come with the ability to scale to the demands of our customers. The cost of doing business keeps rising, so it forces us to get better and more effective in running our business.

Snyder: Lyon has not deployed a project that requires IP technology. We discussed utilizing IP technology on our project in 2019, but the challenges did not make sense for the project. Taubman: Game Creek is all-in on the IP future. Our four latest major truck builds have been IP, and all of the new builds we have coming up will be end-to-end IP utilizing the SMPTE 2110 standard. We will, of course, continue to maintain legacy SDI connectivity for the foreseeable future as the bulk of our fleet and inventory of edge devices will remain SDI-connected.

Turk: We look at each project with what technology makes the most sense. As the IP technology and standard have become more mature, it is getting easier. There is less conversion gear needed. We mostly are doing IP systems because it saves weight and is more distributed in any truck or case.

Wehner: All of our new mobile-unit builds are IP and [based on] SMPTE ST 2110.

Sullivan: The next several years will bring lots of transi-

tion as both regional- and national-rights agreements are negotiated. Future growth will result when it is apparent that the technology and systems we are developing now are the most efficient way for our customers to deliver compelling content to their customers.

Sexton: Growth and future success are dependent on being able to stay on top of technology trends and ahead of the curve, which are constantly changing, and LMGH is in a position to meet these challenges.

Game Creek Video recently rolled out Bravo, an IP-capable mobile production unit, as well as nearly identical Columbia.

the future of [the industry], as well as 12G distribution. Both are being evaluated, though we still have serious concerns about the timing between video and embedded audio.

Johnson: I wouldn’t say we’re very aggressive, but we’re calculated about it. We’ve taken a look at building that IP solution, but we’ve found that it’s an interim kind of solution because of the cost of doing it with a lot of gateways. If you have a lot of gateways, that means that you’re not really taking advantage of IP. So we have mostly held off [with the exception of] a small IP truck that we built to learn from and develop best practices. IP is a big leap, and I think it comes with a little bit of risk element, but IP is getting better every year. We look forward to working in that space. 38

are constantly changing schemes as new challenges arise. A company must stay in close communication with its vendors to feed back critical situational information.

Johnson: I would say, by and large, they have the core base solutions, but I think that IP is going to require some time to [mature]. [For example, with SDI], we could very easily switch between NTSC frame rate and PAL frame rate. But, on the IP truck, that hasn’t been so easy. So are vendors completely ready or where they’d like to be? Probably not. But I’m sure they’re working feverishly to get caught up. continued on page 44

Taubman: Cybersecurity is certainly top of mind for us.

Taubman: The SMPTE 2110 standard is still very new, and

At the moment, most of our media-streaming IP networks are islands within our trucks, but we are starting to develop systems that will bridge from truck to truck and, eventually, truck to studio with IP streaming technology. As we start to extend these IP networks in new ways, we’re working with all of our vendors to develop and implement best-practices around securing our IP networks.

vendor interoperability is still a major hurdle in IP systems. Across the board, we found vendors are working as fast as they can to implement SMPTE 2110 in their products, but we’re still missing the standards to tie it all together. We’re looking forward to integrating NMOS IS-04/IS-05 discovery, registration, and connection management as it becomes a published standard — hopefully, in the near future.

Turk: We are getting closer to IP being easier. There are still many control hurdles that the industry needs to get solved to make the IP systems as flexible as SDI. Wehner: No. The manufacturers need to work on interoperability and compatibility. What about HDR-compatible products? Taubman: By itself, HDR is fairly mature, and an HDRnative production is easy to accomplish with current tools. A hybrid HDR/SDR production is much more complex, and we’re in the middle of developing workflows in conjunction with many of our vendors and clients to deliver a quality SDR product derived from native HDR acquisition to the majority of viewers.

Turk: With the new LUTs, HDR is getting easier, but we are still missing automatic setup. Engineers and operators must manually change settings when an HDR signal is in a monitor. Both technologies are going in the right direction and getting easier with each new version of software.

How is your engineering team dealing with the need to understand IP as well as baseband workflows? Adydan: Engineers are becoming data-systems–certified. A regular exchange of information is conducted amongst the engineering team.

Taubman: We’re transitioning rapidly from traditional broadcast infrastructures to infrastructures that are starting to look more like data centers in our trucks. We’re needing to define new IP-centric skill sets and find ways to train our staff to fully understand and take advantage of our new hybrid baseband/IP environment.

Turk: We have created an IP class that engineers are going through before they get a new IP truck. We also try to make smart decisions with pairing the correct people to get experience and IT on an IP truck. As IP networks become more commonplace at truck compounds, is cybersecurity becoming more of a concern? How are you addressing the issue of compound security in an IP age? Adydan: Cybersecurity is a vital concern. At this point, critical systems are isolated from the outside world. Research on switching portals with cyber sniffing is ongoing. 44

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2020

Turk: Cybersecurity is thought about in every build. We are keeping the video network separate from control or internet. Also keeping to standard IT security procedures. Are you planning for the potential rise of 4K and HDR? If so, how? What are the primary technical challenges related to 4K HDR production, and what equipment must be upgraded? Adydan: The company’s latest mobile unit has been built to service 4K as well as HDR demands. The main concern is the ability to transfer appropriate color-gamut and contrast-ratio information. Parity must exist from the capture through processing to the display process. The ability to adjust to new HDR profiles is the biggest concern. This affects the entire chain but is most notable in the capture and display phases.

Johnson: We’re three years into servicing 4K, and, even in the very early days, we were looking closely at HDR. We learned very quickly that 4K is very achievable but the HDR is going to take a lot more of an infrastructure change because it does impact the entire [ecosystem] from production to customer delivery at the home. The vendors are aligning to provide the right toolsets and advanced capabilities to help us evaluate the quality and the consistency of the HDR while maintaining a good SDR. We cannot compromise the SDR show for the sake of HDR. So that does increase the challenge level. I would say we still have some hurdles to get over in that space, but it’s great that so many [vendors] are jumping in. That pushes us all to get there.

Snyder: We see 4K and HDR productions being done best in IP. In our opinion, proper IP design should be inclusive of 4K HDR signal paths, possibly with software provisions for HDR.

Taubman: A big part of our push to move quickly to IP is the need to develop systems that can produce native 4K content at the scale required by our key clients — a task that is well beyond the capability of currently deployable baseband systems. HDR comes along for the ride as we develop these infrastructures, but all of our purchasing around image acquisition, replay, and signal processing is driven by the need to pave the road to 4K HDR productions.

Turk: Every project, we have a 4K plan. Today, this will require taking the [equipment] levels down. As the IP technology continues to grow to higher bandwidth, this will go away, and we will be able to do the same size show in 4K or 1080p.

Wehner: We’ve been providing 4K and 4K HDR to our customers for several years.

ROAD 019 IN REVIEW 2 S R O I R R WA

Following on the heels of a year that saw both the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics Games and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, one might have expected the 2019 sportsproduction calendar to be a bit quieter. As this year draws to a close, it’s clear that that could not have been farther from the truth. Broadcast networks and digital distribution platforms alike were busy from January on, upping the production ante on every event from the College Football Playoff National Championship Game to the Super Bowl to the Indianapolis 500 and more. Read on and remember the new technologies and production workflows that were introduced this year, and — most importantly — the people who brought these productions and many more to life.

CFP NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

LEVI’S STADIUM, SANTA CLARA, CA

JAN 7

t the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship, A ESPN once again went all-in for the big game, deploying more than 310 cameras to cover all the action at Levi’s Stadium

in Santa Clara, CA, and providing 17 viewing options via the MegaCast over 11 TV and radio networks and via the ESPN app. “The thing that makes this event is the volume and magnitude of what we put behind it but also the time frame,” said John LaChance, director, remote production operations, ESPN, prior to the January 7 game. “[There are] other marquee events, which stand alone, but, with the volume and viewer enhancements being done here in a 72-hour window to get everything installed, this event [is] in a unique classification.” The core of ESPN’s production efforts were done out of Game Creek Video’s 79 A and B units with Nitro A and B handling game submix, EVS overflow, 360 replay, robo ops,

and tape release. ESPN’s team that created 17 MegaCast offerings was onsite, housed in Nitro and Game Creek’s Edit 3 and Edit 4 trailers and TVTruck.tv’s Sophie HD. Game Creek Video’s Yogi, meanwhile, was on hand for studio operations, and Maverick was also in the compound. All told, 70 transmission paths (50 outbound, 20 inbound) flowed through the compound, and 40 miles of fiber and cable was deployed. Also on hand was Fletcher, which provided robotics; BSI, which handled wired pylons and RF audio and video; 3G, which was in charge of the line-to-gain PylonCam and the firstand-10–marker camera; Vicareo, with the Ref Cams; and CAT Entertainment Services, for UPS and power. SMT was on board for the 1st & Ten lines; PSSI, for uplink; Bexel, for RF audio and other gear; and Illumination Dynamics, for lighting. – Ken Kerschbaumer

The top-ranked Clemson Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide 44-16 at Levi’s Stadium.

Spectrum Center and then during last night’s Skills Challenge. For the main event, Skycam coverage was not only integrated into the main broadcast on TNT but was also available as the main camera in an alternative broadcast available on TBS. “People are enjoying the unique angles Skycam gives,” said Chris Brown, director of technical operations, Turner Sports. “It’s similar to what it brought to football coverage in that you can have a sense of the space between players.” Skycam deployment began with the answer to a key question: how can it be used but not be distracting to players or, more important, actually get hit by a basketball in play? Helping to answer those concerns was the use of shot data from Second Spectrum, which tracks the height of every shot taken during NBA games. As long as the Skycam stays above that height (approximately 28 ft.), it should steer clear of any balls in flight.

game video, pre/postgame audio and video, and 8K operations; the B unit handled pre/postproduction, graphics, and C360 operations. The C unit was home to pre/post EVS, the Sony server operators who worked with the Fletcher-provided HDC-4800 4K cameras, and 8K operators. F&F Productions’ GTX17 handled tape-release production, backup production, additional game EVS, and additional game video, and GTX18B was home to comms, Pico replay operators, a second pylon operator, augmented-reality operations, and EA Sports. Game Creek Edit 3, 4, and B-5 also played key roles. Edit 3 handled ingests, game and pre/post editing, color tease, game After Effects operations, and MAM. Edit 4 housed pre/post After Effects, pre/post Duets, and graphics management. And B-5 was home to pan-bar robotic operations and all other Fletcher robos except for those on the goalposts, which were handled in NEP SSCBS A. NEP’s TX/ESU trailer was onsite for router distribution, transmission control, and distribution to the world feed, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, halftime show, and all other outside vendors. And the AVS RF truck managed all RF cameras for game and pre/post as well as camera-feed distribution to SSCBS B, Encore A, and video-paint control in those trucks. – KK

Also new this year was the use of NEP’s EN1 as the production unit for the All-Star Game. NEP refurbished the EN1 C unit, and the layout allowed the Turner production team to consolidate replay and super-slo-mo operations; in previous All-Star events, they needed to be split apart. Game coverage relied on approximately 40 cameras, with the major addition of a robotic camera on a large crane behind the basket. An important part of the weekend was the use of RF cameras, and AVS was on hand with two RF Steadicams and two RF handheld cameras. NEP’s SS16 was used for the halftime show. NCPX returned for All-Star Saturday and was also used to produce the live alternative broadcast that aired on TBS (the main broadcast, produced out of EN1, was seen on TNT). – KK

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL FINAL FOUR

U.S. BANK STADIUM, MINNEAPOLIS, MN APR 5-8 he 2019 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four in Minneapolis T was another massive video operation with two full production compounds (one inside the bowels of U.S. Bank Stadium

and another outside in a parking lot), more than 50 cameras in the bowl of the stadium, and more than 400 CBS staffers alone onsite to pull everything together.

A pair of sets, including this primary position on the stadium’s west end, were built in each of the student sections behind each of the baskets.

NFL DRAFT

LOWER BROADWAY, NASHVILLE, TN APR 25-27 n its 40th consecutive year covering the event, ESPN assembled Iprimetime its largest NFL Draft production to date in Nashville. With dual telecasts on ESPN and ABC for the first time, plus a

cavalcade of onsite studio shows, ESPN’s NFL Draft footprint was bigger than ever. In addition, both ESPN’s traditional Draft telecast and the ABC’s College GameDay-style telecast were produced in 1080p for the first time. “This year is by far our biggest Draft production ever,” said Steve Carter, senior operations manager, ESPN, during the NFL Draft. “We have seven mobile units, five sets, and over 60 cameras — including eight RF cameras — between the main Draft [on ESPN], ABC, and all our other shows out here. Plus, both the Draft [telecasts] are being produced in 1080p. Even though we’ve got all these shows going on here, we’ve built the infrastructure and the interconnection to be able to handle it all pretty seamlessly.” Inside the compound, NEP’s EN1 and ND1 — seven mobile in total — were tightly integrated, allowing any source (video, audio, comms, etc.) from throughout ESPN’s Broadway setup to be accessed from anywhere. NEP’s EN1 and ND1 mobile units were on hand to serve ESPN at the NFL Draft in Nashville.

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2020

“It’s our typical Final Four circus that rolls into town,” said Patty Power, EVP of operations and engineering for CBS Sports, during the tournament. “It’s all working as it should be. Everything is solid.” While there wasn’t much that’s “new” technologically, there were still plenty of fun production staples that have become expected at an event like this, including a SkyCam and RailCam, a robotic camera that slides on a track on the floor along the near sideline. There’s also been a new set of robos installed on the baskets behind the glass of the backboards to add an extra, unique look. Thirty-five cameras in the stadium worked the game coverage while another 13 were dedicated to studio programming. CBS and Turner had two different sets, each in the student sections behind each of the baskets that served as home for pregame and halftime coverage throughout Saturday and Monday evening. The biggest challenges of this year’s venue were lighting and finding the right camera angles in such a massive bowl for basketball. A lot of work went into the blacking out of open-glass features of the stadium, including on the roof and along the front entrance gates. In comparison, last year’s Final Four at the Alamodome served as a much more intimate atmosphere for basketball, so much of the prep in the days leading up to tip off this year was dedicated to calibrating cameras and juggling positions to get the most ideal angles for a basketball television broadcast in a nonbasketball facility. Down inside the main production compound, Game Creek Video’s 79 was the primary game support vehicle, while NEP’s Supershooter 22 ran studio shoulder programming. – Brandon Costa

Meanwhile, NFL Media fully embraced the Nashville scene at the Draft, bookending Lower Broadway with a pair of NFL Network sets located on the Draft Main Stage and attached to the legendary Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge honky-tonk bar. “We always try to tell the story of the city and give viewers the feel of being here at the Draft,” said Dave Shaw, VP Production, NFL Media, in Nashville. “Broadway truly highlights the fabric of Nashville. Of course, we wanted to be right in the middle of all that, so we knew we needed to find a way to make this work. The biggest challenge has been the limitations in terms of space here on Broadway, but I think we were able to handle that really well.” Game Creek Video’s Encore served as home to NFL Media’s Draft production, while the NFL Network’s Red Carpet Show and Good Morning Football shows were at-home productions run out of NFL Media’s Culver City, CA, broadcast center. – Jason Dachman

INDIANAPOLIS 500

INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY INDIANAPOLIS, IN MAY 26 hen Memorial Day Weekend rolls around in the U.S., W racing fans know what time it is. At the world-renowned Indianapolis Motor Speedway, 33 drivers revved their engines and embarked on a mechanical sprint towards history in the 103rd Indianapolis 500. The weekend also marked a massive milestone for the team at NBC Sports, who took over as the host broadcaster this year, bringing “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” to homes across America for the very first time.

NBC deployed an impressive arsenal of live video technology to give this year’s race a truly elite on-air look. Much of it was made possible by working alongside the racetrack’s experienced in-house operations unit, IMS Productions. “From the engineering and operational side, it has been a success working directly with IMS Productions,” said Ken Goss, SVP, remote operations and production planning, NBC Sports Group, speaking before the race. “They’ve been great partners, and they did a terrific job [with helping us] converge all of our operations here. We’re looking forward to our first Indy 500 and are happy to forge a strong, ongoing partnership with IMS Productions.” A whopping 80 cameras were scattered across the sprawling 560-acre campus, highlighted by a grouping of five Sony HDC4300s at 6X super-slow motion. These high-speed cameras were located on the cars’ right side at Turns 1, 2, 3, and 4. Inside the operational nucleus, five trucks supplied by IMS Productions housed a fair number of the 200 staffers onsite. The main race coverage operated in IMSP’s HD-3 and HD-5 mobile production units. HD-3 was built around a Grass Valley Kayenne K Frame 5M/E switcher, while HD-5 featured Grass Valley’s Kayenne K Frame 8M/E switcher. The main race telecast also had 103 iso record channels at its disposal and a full slate of replay equipment from EVS: four 12-channel servers with ChannelMAX and 10 eight-channel XT3 servers, two with SpotBox and two with IPDirector. – Kristian Hernandez Crews began to arrive at the TV compound at Indianapolis Motor Speedway by 4:15 a.m. on race day

FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP FRANCE

he beginning of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Paris T marked the end of a long period of planning in which Fox Sports made use of skills the team developed in Canada, home to

58

the previous Women’s World Cup in 2015, and in Russia during the Men’s World Cup last summer. One of the first things viewers noticed was the studio-show set, which was located at the Café de l’Homme. Paris has plenty of iconic views, but it is the sight of the Eiffel Tower that resonates with people around the world, and the view from the Café — part of the Musée de l’Homme — did not disappoint. The studio had 10 cameras, including a 50-ft. SuperTechno50 crane with a Stype kit for augmented-reality graphics that could show sweeping shots of the Palais de Chaillot and the Trocadéro. There was also a beauty camera that used LiveU’s Matrix IP cloud video-management platform to make it available to Fox TV stations that wanted to integrate live shots into their newscasts. EVS XT-VIA operations, graphics, and playout were done in Los Angeles and the technical director in Paris cut to tape machines located in Los Angeles, not in a B unit. Similarly, the graphics team in Los Angeles controlled three Viz engines in Aurora, and the prompter crew also worked remotely. Bexel helped outfit two trailers located in Fox Sports’ Pico studio lot, and a Century Link trailer helped pull in 120 Gbps of data from Paris. The Fox facility in Los Angeles also built two rooms for offtube needs because all audio and video passed through a control room in Los Angeles. The commentary, whether off-tube or onsite, was matched with a UHD feed that ultimately was down-

This was the first time that a Women’s World Cup had a proper building for its International Broadcast Center (in 2015, the IBC was housed in office trailers). Although Fox has a relatively small footprint of only 300 sq. meters, it packed a lot of technical punch. NEP UK, as it did in Russia last year, provided the equipment and technical support. – KK

PEBBLE BEACH GOLF LINKS, PEBBLE BEACH, CA JUN 13-16 his year’s U.S. Open featured great shots from the drone T patrolling the Pebble Beach Golf Links coastline as well as shots from four robotic hard cameras that were able to capture

the action from new angles. “There are few courses as good as this one to use drone technology,” said Mike Davies, SVP, technical and field operations, Fox Sports, speaking at the tournament. “There are so many active holes along the coastline, and director Steve Beim has done a great job directing the drones and doing some cool things. Drone technology has come of age here at the U.S. Open.” Last year’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock saw two developments in compound layout that have carried over to this year. First, space constraints required some of the personnel and operations (such as camera and audio support) to be moved to a Technology Tent

Instead, under the direction of Fox Sports’ Brad Cheney, VP, field operations and engineering, and Sarita Meinking, director, field operations, multiple trailers were combined, literally eliminating the walls between the operations, production, digital, PR, and other departments. There were three key partners for Fox Sports. Game Creek Video provided the production facilities; CP Communications, fiber and RF infrastructures; and Filmwerks handled power needs. The core of Fox Sports’ U.S. Open coverage was mobile units from Game Creek Video, specifically Encore A, B, and C, which have been at the center of all five of the network’s U.S. Open broadcasts. Pride A and B were also onsite, handling audio submix, superslo-mo replay, graphics, HDR-video support, engineering, and an emergency production area. – KK Fox Sports’ Technology Tent at the U.S. Open housed camera, audio, and RF support as well as robotics operators and AR operations.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

TD AMERITRADE PARK, OMAHA, NE JUN 15-26

t the 2019 College World Series, ESPN deployed technology A usually reserved for MLB telecasts, including a 4D Replay system, a POV camera on the mask of the home-plate umpire,

62

and all-encompassing surround coverage on ESPN3. “The goal is to serve the baseball fan. A large amount of them are accustomed to watching Major League Baseball, so they are accustomed to technologies that are typically available only at that level,” said Chris Swihart, remote operations producer, ESPN. “Our production approach has changed a little bit this year. The overarching production support and production management are being overseen by a group of folks who also do [those] Major League Baseball games. We’re trying to bring that feel to some of our bigger college events as well.” The College World Series crew was in an advantageous situation leading up to the tournament. ESPN had just produced the first MLB game in the state of Nebraska: the Kansas City Royals vs. the Detroit Tigers at TD Ameritrade Park. After the game was over, a majority of the onsite staff and the equipment remained in its place for its use in this tournament. One prime example was NEP’s ND7 production truck, whose four units (A, B, C, and D) were in use. As for transmission going on inside the truck, the games were transmitted in 720p.

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2020

Aside from the RF UmpCam and the 100 cameras used for the 4D Replay system, a lineup of 25-30 total cameras were also used for the production. Besides the many POVs and robos on the field, there were three Sony HDC-4300’s with super-slo-mo playback (located at low home plate, tight center field, and high third base), a Fletcher-provided Sony HDC-4800 super-slo-mo with 4K capability, a jib camera from Fully Armed Productions, and a Winged Vision aerial camera. The hardware wasn’t the only technology that was left behind. The College World Series used K-Zone replays for pitch location, which is normally seen on Sunday Night Baseball and other MLB on ESPN telecasts. – KH A, B, C, and D units of NEP’s ND7 were in use for the championship series.

I

n true Fox form, the broadcaster rolled out its largest and most technology-rich MLB All-Star production ever, including transporting Virtual Eye Graphics from the golf course to the ballpark, deploying 4DReplay for the first time, and reviving the DirtCam after a three-year absence. “MLB All-Star is obviously one of our huge tent poles and one of our favorite events,” said Mike Davies, SVP, technical and field operations, Fox Sports, speaking at the annual event. “We put all this technology into one event here, but the All-Star Game is, almost by definition, a short game without a lot of time to put all these cool elements in. So, as much as we like to get this technology on TV, the All-Star Game also functions as a very valuable testing ground for this technology in a real-world environment. Then we can have a better gauge whether to use the technology [for MLB Postseason] in October and on other events down the line.”

Fox Sports utilized SportsTime Ohio’s outfield set at the MLB All-Star Game

Fox Sports worked with Animation Research Ltd (ARL) to bring the Virtual Eye graphics system to baseball. The Virtual Eye was provided with MLB ballpark data to create a 3D virtual representation of Progressive Field and the surrounding area in downtown Cleveland. For the All-Star Game, the system leveraged MLB Statcast tracking data to provide AR graphics that track and compare pitches (for example, fastball vs. curveball), home runs, and other key moments in the game. Between game coverage and studio shows, Fox deployed a total of 39 cameras (up from 36 last year). The complement also included seven Sony HDC-P1 robotic systems (provided by Fletcher), an RF MōVI rig and RF handheld system (provided by CP Communications), and an aerial from the Goodyear Blimp (provided by Wingedvision). Fox Sports’ flagship production trucks — Game Creek Video’s Encore A, B, and C units — were back in the All-Star compound for the second consecutive season, along with Game Creek’s Edit 2 truck. The primary control room inside the Encore B unit handled the game production, and a second production area was created in the B unit to serve the onsite studio shows. – JD From left: Fox Sports’ Brad Cheney, Francisco Contreras, and Mike Davies at Progressive Field for the MLB All-Star Game

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

HOWARD J. LAMADE STADIUM AND VOLUNTEER STADIUM SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, PA AUG 15-25

or the Little League World Series, ESPN arrived in WilliamsFSunday port, PA, with both top-of-the-line technologies used on Night Baseball, such as 4DReplay and 1080p, and new

creations, such as the Kidscast second-screen experience. “The partnership between ESPN and Little League has been very strong for many years, and it’s forecast to go long into the future,” said Joe Rainey, senior remote operations specialist, ESPN. “We’ve always got a pretty strong technical commitment to raising the bar. We’ve made a number of changes in our workflow. Although we might look a little smaller than we used to look, we’ve gotten more efficient, using more-powerful equipment, and working a little bit smarter.” Although the action within the foul lines remained the same, the location and structure of the truck compound have changed over the years. The compound used to be a lot closer to the stadiums, with the trucks parked right outside Lamade Stadium. When the concourse was expanded and congestion caused the operation to relocate (the overall number of onsite staffers is more than 300), the network decided to move to higher ground

and placed everything on a perch overlooking the concourse. Inside the current layout, Dome Productions had an overwhelming influence, with its new Silver truck maintaining the games in Lamade and the Journey truck facilitating the international contests across the way in Volunteer Stadium. A Dome Productions B unit was onsite for other duties, including replay with 12 12-channel EVS machines and eight XT4K servers. For onsite editing, Creative Mobile Solutions provided a trailer on the far side of the lot. ESPN’s Bristol, CT, campus added some edit help via its REMNAS file-transfer server. To ensure a smooth production, CAT Entertainment Services supplied two generators in the case of a loss of power. Outside the compound and within the ballparks, the camera complement was anchored by 12 hard cameras and 12 handhelds, including three super-slow-motion versions. With a big emphasis on the national games, the specialty cameras in Lamade were not the same as those in Volunteer. From the sky, an aerial camera is captured sweeping shots of the entire complex as well. – KH

“We have a phased upgrade plan that as we can’t just think about tomorrow,” said Dennis Cleary, ESPN director, remote operations, during the tournament. “We have to think all the way to 2025.” The IP plans for next year are being finalized but there are plenty of changes this year, most notably changes to the compound. ESPN’s physical presence for the past five years has been a large two-story technical operation center with multiple control rooms, audio rooms, and the core technical facilities. This year, the ESPN administration building also had two floors, expanding its size to 11,000 sq. ft. (ESPN’s total footprint is 22,580 sq. ft.) and allowing for the ESPN team to be more centrally located than ever. The second floor had an expanded production area for the ACES automated production teams that cover the outer courts, two audio rooms that handle audio for those courts, and additional commentary booths that can do off-tube or voice over work. NEP’s growing portfolio of companies was on full display at the US Open. In addition to supporting the USTA and rightsholders with content distribution and communications, three NEP mobile units were onsite, Mediatec deployed a state-ofthe-art LED wrap display on the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Bexel provided extensive fiber support, Fletcher had an army of robos on hand and its TRACE camera-tracking system as part of ESPN’s ACES productions on the outer courts, and Big Screen produced content for screens across the grounds. NEP’s Chromium and Nickel mobile units were once again on hand to support the USTA’s world-feed production.

The philosophy around esports productions is constantly evolving, especially given that the production team is not only focused on delivering a great show for fans around the world (ESL events are broadcast in 20 different languages around the globe with local partners handling native-language commentary) but also for the fans in the venue. And the in-game experiences for both players and fans are also constantly changing. “We have a whole department doing nothing but improving the in-game experience in the venue and on our streams,” said Hoffmann. “Esports is not as physically visible as regular sports but what makes it as interesting is the athletes’ emotions. We need to help translate what is going on behind the screens as the fans can’t see the faces of the players for most of the time, so we have Marshall POV cameras getting a good mix of player reactions to show how emotional and intense they are and then to bring it to the audience.” The big news from a TV production standpoint was that the event marked the debut of NEP’s SS8 mobile production unit. NEP has provided the back-end TV production facilities for all of ESL’s events for the past three years. The truck features a Grass Valley Kayenne X-Frame production switcher, Sony HDC 3500 cameras, Canon lenses, a Calrec Apollo audio console, the EVS XT-VIA replay servers, and a Lawo IP router. – KK Inside Barclays Center for ESL One New York Photo credit: Carlton Beener and ESL

he two best teams of this year’s Overwatch League season, the T San Francisco Shock and the Vancouver Titans — and their fans — arrived in droves to the Wells Fargo Center for the 2019 Overwatch League Grand Finals. “The relationship with Barclays Center was great, but this venue is owned by one of our teams,” said Pete Emminger, VP, global broadcast, Blizzard Entertainment. “Since Comcast Spectacor owns the [Philadelphia] Fusion and this building, they have become one of our constant partners. They’ve been super helpful, and we’ve had a really good collaboration. The [Wells Fargo Center team] has been going through a pretty recent renovation and they’ve kept in the loop on the progress and all of their plans.” Outside of the Wells Fargo Center, two NEP mobile production trucks (EN3’s A and B units) handled all of the typical bells and whistles of a traditional sporting event, but inside NEP’s BT-1 auxiliary unit was where the true magic happened. In a blur of adrenaline and excitement, multiple technicians controlled the observer room that handled all of the in-game coverage.

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2020

In addition to their responsibility of capturing the in-game footage, the observer room controlled the personalized viewing for Overwatch League All-Access Pass subscribers on Twitch. In the other NEP EN3 units, the A unit was the home of the main production crew. Other production duties, such as EVS servers (with 30 channels of replay) and transmission services were in the B unit. With the league’s 20 teams coming from six countries on three separate continents, the viewership for the Grand Finals was on a global scale. With 29 original feeds (plus three backup channels), a total of 32 transmission paths moved the various signals to and from the TV compound via IP distribution through the cloud with AWS. – KH The 171 ft.-wide LED video wall was the centerpiece of the in-venue action.

FEB 5-17

Stion during its host production coverage of the FIS World Ski weden’s SVT and Infront broke new ground in remote produc-

Championships when it sent 80 camera signals from the course via

two 100 Gbps fiber circuits from Telia to three control rooms in Stockholm. Adde Granberg, SVT, director of technology, CTO, said the accomplishment at the World Ski Championships shows how far things have come since 2012 when SVT put remote production to the test for the London Olympics. This event, he said, shows the full potential of remote production. “It’s not about new technology, it’s about a new way of working,” he explained. “This has nothing to do with IP as the facilities at the course are the same if we were not using IP. Only the transport of signals is over IP.” About 150 people were at the course, including technicians, the camera people, and the director. The director had access to a control panel to control the Grass Valley vision mixer located in Stockholm where a production team of about 40 created the ultimate coverage. Grass Valley cameras were the make of choice, serving content to EVS replay operators in Stockholm. FIS handled the creation and management of graphics which were then integrated with the produced feed. – KK The FIS Alpine World Championships TV compound in Åre. Photo credit: Daniela Calandra

FRENCH OPEN

STADE ROLAND GARROS, PARIS, FRANCE MAY 26 – JUN 29 he Roland Garros French Open tournament in T Paris offered tennis fans plenty of stellar matchups and Eurosport, with broadcast rights in more than 50

territories, was on hand to make sure that all of them resonated with viewers across Europe. This was the 31st consecutive Roland Garros tournament that Eurosport has delivered and there were more than 200 staff onsite producing coverage for 10 localized Eurosport versions distributed across the continent. Coverage from all 16 courts (as well as all 160 qualifying matches) was produced and available via the Eurosport Player. With Eurosport’s main production facility located in Paris (and relatively close to Roland Garros, home of the French Open) it was no surprise that the European sports powerhouse looked to leverage its own facilities as much as possible. Last year the broadcaster brought back a finished feed and then integrated it for playout, but this year, all camera signals came back alongside the host feed and were cut from control rooms there. The team at Roland Garros had 14 unilateral cameras in use to cover activities across the grounds, and onsite, there

engineering services for the tournament. And while year two of deals can occasionally see some major changes and overhauls, the Wimbledon technical plan saw only minor changes as the initial efforts in year one were sufficiently forward-thinking: embracing technologies like ST 2110, UHD, and HDR. “We improved on some things, but technology wise it is the same,” said Richard Lancaster, NEP UK, technical project manager for Wimbledon. “But there were some geography changes like moving our engineering office out of the Master Control Room area.” Another location change was that the Trace operations for the seven outside courts, which were produced using Simplylive production systems and camera systems from Fletcher, moved into the broadcast center. Those systems were improved via software tweaks and also features like a Snapshot function that would allow for the

Operators were also able to work on multiple courts at once and three operators were able to handle all seven courts. The core of the WBS facility provided by NEP inside the Wimbledon Broadcast Centre were once again two completely redundant Grass Valley IQ modular systems that worked in conjunction with Arista Network switches. The router was decentralized with various nodes around the Broadcast Centre for the rightsholders. Outside of the WBC were three NEP OB units: Venus, Ceres, and Emerald from NEP Ireland where matches on Centre Court, No. 1 Court, and No. 2 Court were produced. – KK

“We literally had to shut down the compound and then, the next morning, raised all the power onto platforms,” said Alan Jessop, technical producer, CTV OB. “We solved all the issues and then brought everything up again.” The beachside parking lot was home to 11 CTV OB production trucks, 17 support units, catering, and office trailers. At the core of the production were 175 cameras. RF cameras and mics were also part of the mix, with 29 RF cameras, 79 low-power radio mics, 50 high-power radio mics, and more than 600 walkie talkies. There were also 35 EVS XT3 servers and an EVS VIA server, which was used for UHD and HDR coverage of Holes 5, 6, and 7. A lipstick camera was located at the first tee box, and rail cameras were at Holes 1, 3 (at the tee box), 6, 13, and 16. Four locked-off POV cameras, one Smarthead POV camera, and nine bunker cameras were also part of the plan, and 11 holes were cabled for Toptracer (there are also two RF Toptracers: one for NBC and one for host-feed producer ETP). – KK

DOME PRODUCTIONS Dome Productions’ Unique New Showcase Targets Digital-Content Creators By Brandon Costa

O

ne of the top mobile-production–facility providers in the business, Dome Productions made a splash in 2019 not by introducing another 53-ft. expando or a fully IP facility into the market. Instead, the company rolled Showcase, which is designed to meet the needs of digital-media companies looking to take their onsite productions to a new level. Designed as more of a mobile “studio,” Dome Productions expects Showcase to be used for onsite studio shows, esports productions, and even live podcasting programs. Measuring 40 ft. 10 in. long, 13 ft. high, and 8 ft. 6 in. wide, Showcase is smaller than a traditional production truck, and its tight footprint has a purpose. “We wanted to make it so you can put it into a situation where it could be at an event downtown,” said Mike Johnson, director, engineering, Dome Productions. “If you were interested to host a studio panel onsite as an addition to an event that’s going on, for example. It’s a trailer built to be onsite for special events and around some productions. We may have a larger production going on, but this can supplement that, or it can be just uniquely a small gaming environment.” A good example of Showcase’s deployment was at the 2019 NHL All-Star Game in San Jose, CA, when Dome rolled in the truck outside the home of San Jose Sharks majority owner Hasso Plattner to produce a live NHL 19 esports event to supplement the All-Star festivities around the city. At its core, Showcase hosts space housing (from left to right) engineering; an open studio with a removable wall and a window backdrop to open to the public; a foyer that can double as a makeup room or a green room; and a small, 69-sq.-ft. production area.

Showcase is a small, flexible facility that is completely customizable for broadcasters looking to add onsite digital-centric content.

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2020

Inside Showcase’s small production-control room, where customers can customize the gear on board

The truck features a small studio space that opens to the public, making it ideal for onsite studio shows or live podcast recordings.

As for the gear aboard, it doesn’t offer a standard package of gear traditionally seen in rental production trucks. Dome intends Showcase to be a complete custom and à la carte rental. “It’s an à la carte truck,” said Mary Ellen Carlyle, SVP/GM, Dome Productions. “You want to put your own equipment in? We can. Do you want to put a Ross Carbonite [production switcher] in there? You can. Do you want to put an EVS DYVI in there? You can. You want to put nothing in there? You can. I call it a pop-up truck. It can [distribute] right to OTT or web streaming if needed. It’s very, very versatile, and we talked a lot about putting equipment in it, but, in this new era, everybody’s different. So we just decided, you know what, we’re not going to put anything in. You tell us what you want.” Naturally, a big driver for this design was to develop a truck at a lower price point to meet the budgetary needs of many streaming and/or esports-related shows. “With these clients, budgets are small,” said Carlyle. “So what we tried to do is give them everything within a truck. It has the studio in there. It has the production-control room. It has cameras. It has lighting. It has power. It has air-conditioning. “It’s not a Dome truck,” she added. “Use it as your truck.”

F&F PRODUCTIONS GTX-19 Rises From Ashes to Begin New Chapter for F&F By Ken Kerschbaumer

W

hen GTX-18, one of the top mobile units in the F&F Productions fleet, was destroyed in a fire last year, it kicked off a rapid process of getting a new unit, GTX-19, on the road. That monumental event happened this summer when the truck made its debut and showed its 4K fire power at a concert in Tampa, FL, then displayed its flexibility by moving from entertainment directly to an NFL preseason game for CBS Sports. Its first big commitment was for CBS’s coverage of SEC football, which began Sept. 14. “This shows we are a player in building these super trucks,” said Marc Orgera, VP/GM, F&F Productions. “It’s a single-truck unit that has the equipment usually found in two trailers.” Jason Cohen, VP, remote technical operations, CBS Sports, says the truck will make a difference when it comes to producing the SEC on CBS coverage. “The college football game we do every Saturday has the luxury of featuring top teams in the nation,” he noted. “Now we are in a position where it can be produced from one of the newest and most state-of-the art mobile units in the marketplace. It not only has a lot of fire power, but it is something we can grow into over the remaining years of the deal.” The F&F and CBS teams worked closely together on the truck’s design, and one of the results is that the main production area is laid out horizontally and features 4K monitors. The new layout also allows the tape room to accommodate two additional operators and the engineering desk to be moved out of the back corner. “The horizontal layout gives extra space and makes it physically completely different from GTX-18,” noted Cohen. The equipment aboard includes 14 Sony HDC-4300 cameras, two Sony HDC-2500 cameras, a Grass Valley HD Kayenne Elite K-Frame production switcher, and a Calrec Apollo audio console with dual faders. One thing it doesn’t have now is an IP core: the accelerated construction timeline mandated tried-and-true SDI routing. According to Orgera, the company’s next truck will have an IP core; however, if needed, GTX-19 can be converted to IP. “We had to build it in a three-month period during a busy season of basketball,” he explained, “so we didn’t want to be under the gun with a move to IP.” New technology includes EVS XT-VIA servers coupled with the latest EVS Multicam 16.00 operating system. The new server platform gives F&F greater flexibility to produce content in multiple formats, including HD 1080p, 4K UHD, and HDR, as well as enabling 1080p content to be upscaled to 4K UHD for playout.

96

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2020

New replay technology inside GTX-19 gives operators added flexibility to play out content in a variety of formats.

The XT-VIA servers will be used to replay, edit, and produce all content going into the mobile units; XS-VIA servers record multiple audio and video feeds and provide instant control and multiple channels of playback operations. They are all linked to XNet-VIA, which gives the LSM operators in the three EVS VIApowered GTX mobile units triple the bandwidth of EVS’s legacy SDTI-based network. This will allow them to move high-resolution recorded media between the XT-VIA and XS-VIA production servers at greater speeds. “By expanding and upgrading our extensive EVS fleet, we now have greater capacity and speed, meaning we can deliver more,” said Orgera. “The new VIA-platform–based products that we’re investing in also give us the option to transition the units to IP when we decide that the time is right.” Cohen added that the XT-VIA servers will allow two operators to share a single server, removing a key bottleneck for important replays. “Multiple operators’ having access to crucial angles is probably the most important benefit,” he said. “It is also ready for future formats but maintains current workflows.” Other equipment aboard includes Sony HDC-4300 cameras and HDCP-43 POV cameras, Sennheiser microphones, a Calrec Apollo digital audio console with Bluefin2, an RTS Adam intercom, and Evertz 576x1152 XlinkHD router and VIP routing. CBS Sports deployed the mobile unit through the SEC Championship, as well as for the Army-Navy game, college basketball, and college-football bowl games.

GAME CREEK VIDEO Game Creek Video Expands Its IP Fleet With Bravo and Columbia By Brandon Costa

T

he march to all-IP live sports production continues. In October, one of the industry’s leading production-truck providers, Game Creek Video, added two IP-friendly trucks to its fleet. Bravo and Columbia are the company’s fourth and fifth IP-capable units on the road today. Each is a 53-ft. expando that makes a significant achievement in fitting an entire remote IP facility into a single truck, eliminating the need for a secondary B unit for support onsite. “There’s a move towards IP in the industry,” explained Jason Taubman, SVP, technology, Game Creek Video. “We want to make sure the trucks that we put on the road today stay relevant for as long as they possibly can.” How is Game Creek able to fit all of the tech needed for an IP workflow into a single unit? Bravo and Columbia were each built to allow a full SMPTE 2110 infrastructure. Taubman and his engineering team needed to get beyond 576×576 in a router. “There was all of this old infrastructure you needed, like Ethernet switches and gateways and multiviewers that really overran the available rack space,” he said. “We got to a point early in the design of Bravo [and Columbia] where we realized we could probably pull it off and make it IP.” Perhaps most important is a new partnership with Lawo

Bravo and nearly identical Columbia debuted on NFL in September for Fox Sports and CBS Sports, respectively.

and Arista Networks. Game Creek worked with the duo for the first time to install an Arista 7508 enterprise switch as the truck’s core fabric switch. That pushes gateway, multiviewer, and in-network processing and orchestrating into the Lawo network powering the truck. “One of the things that led us in that direction was the size and shape of it,” said Taubman. “We were pressed to fit everything in a regular box, and one of the things that let us do that was the density that we got out of the Arista switch in particular. It [occupies] about a third of the rack space of our previous IP installations.” Another driver in these trucks was accommodating the IP-compatible edge devices — switchers, cameras, replay devices, audio devices — that are starting to emerge in the market. Taubman notes that the switcher deployed — a Grass Valley K-Frame-X — is particularly exciting because Grass Valley will be expanding its capabilities to allow native 4K in a 192×96 switcher. The audio side also has an IP hook. Atop the Calrec Artemis console is an AoIP box, which is a SMPTE 2110 or AES67 audio interface. It takes audio directly to and continued on page 104 Game Creek was able to achieve an all-IP workflow into a single 53-ft. expando, eliminating the need for a B unit.

from the Arista network, a first for a Game Creek mobile unit. Both trucks are working their first NFL seasons in the Sunday-afternoon broadcast window: Bravo with Fox, Columbia with CBS. “Bravo is one in a family of IP trucks that break the mold in a lot of ways,” said Michael Davies, SVP, technical and field operations, Fox Sports, the network for which Game Creek built its first truck in 2006. “The design will keep this truck and those like it relevant, adaptable, and cutting-edge for a very long time. We trust Jason Taubman, [VP, Engineering] Paul Bonar, and their exceptional team of OB designers to come up with the forward-thinking ideas while minding the pitfalls down the thorny path of mobile broadcast engineering.” It should be noted that the trucks aren’t exclusively IP. Bravo hit

the road first with a few test events this summer with its switcher in IP but a network of EVS replay servers and CCUs in SDI. Every position is built with both legacy SDI and IP (SMPTE 2110) capability, however, and is ready to make the switch to full IP when either Fox or CBS calls for it.

MOBILE TV GROUP Mobile TV Group Enters End-to-End Native-IP Age With 45 FLEX, 46 FLEX By Jason Dachman

I

n 2019, Mobile TV Group rolled out two end-to-end native IP mobile units: 45 FLEX and 45 VMU (visitor mobile unit) in May, followed by 46 FLEX and 46 B Unit in September. Both trucks are fully SMPTE ST 2110-integrated, including the switcher, router, replay systems, audio console, and cameras. 45 FLEX and 45 VMU (visitor mobile unit) are based in St. Louis and are being deployed for dual-feed productions of MLB, NBA, and NHL games across the Midwest and nationally. 46 FLEX and 46 B Unit are handling Fox Sports’ NFL Sunday package. “We’ve been wanting to go IP for a while, but there were two primary factors that caused us to wait,” said Mobile TV Group President Philip Garvin. “One was that the ST 2110 [suite of standards] hadn’t been fully completed. The second was that we were waiting until the major components — switcher, replay, cameras, router, and audio — were also 2110[-compliant] so that all the devices could be connected natively and without going through gateways. So we waited, and, when we felt that both issues had been resolved, we decided that our next truck would be 2110.” With the truck fully IP connected via SMPTE ST 2110, MTVG believes that 45 FLEX and 45 VMU will provide an easier pathway to 4K and HDR productions, as well as serving the evergrowing size of regional and national live sports productions. “In terms of resources, IP gives us the ability to say yes to almost anything,” said Mobile TV Group COO Nick Garvin. “The client might not even know that the truck is IP, but, if they ask for something, the answer now is almost always going to be yes. Can we add these five extra sources? Can we add an extra camera here? Can you send that feed to the NBA [headquarters]? And the answer is just yes. Before, you may have had to say, ‘I’m sorry, we’re out of router capacity.’ I think that’s the beauty of IP in action. [The user] doesn’t see IP or touch IP, but they know that our answer is going to be yes if they need to add something.” 45 Flex is built around a Grass Valley Kayenne K-Frame X IP switcher (7M/E, 96 inputs/48 outputs) and rolls with seven Grass Valley LDX82 Premier cameras and four LDX86 Universe super-slo-mo cameras (with IP XCUs), as well as LDK 8000 3G Elite triax cameras for the announce booths — all with Fujinon lenses.

“IP gives you a tremendous amount of capacity that you just can’t achieve in SDI without adding significantly more cabling and equipment and taking up more space, and, of course, space is always of the essence on mobile units,” said Philip Garvin. “A 25G path can carry two 4K signals, which would’ve normally taken eight cables previously, and there was simply no space for that — either physically or in the router.” At the core of the truck is an Evertz 384-port EXE 2.0 IP router with up to 9,600 GBps and a Magnum control system to manage the IP infrastructure. Although several mobile units have launched in recent years with IP-based routers that feed into other systems via IP gateways (IPGs), MTVG believes this is the first mobile unit to feature an end-to-end IP ecosystem. “If you were to look at the back of the switcher or an EVS [server] in a mobile unit where only the router is IP, you would see a whole bunch of coax and BNC connectors for the video,” said Philip Garvin. “Everything would be going into IPGs to convert the video to IP on the way in and out of the router. However, if you look at the back of the devices on this mobile unit, you will see only SFPs connected by fiber. We have no IPGs between the switcher, the router, the replay, and the cameras — with the exception of external devices that aren’t 2110[-capable], such as a POV camera. The bottom line is, this truck takes full advantage of the advantages of 2110.” On the replay side, the trucks are equipped with four 12-channel EVS XT-VIA IP full editing replay servers (with 16 channels of embedded audio). Four SSMO and 16 HD inputs/12 HD outputs are available when the truck is running in SSMO mode; two continued on page 112

MOBILE TV GROUP continued continued from page 108 XT-VIAs can be split into two operator positions with four inputs/two outputs each. In HD mode, 32 HD inputs/16 HD outputs are available (one position uses LSM Connect). The truck also features a four-channel EVS XS-VIA server for SpotBox with two channels per show during dual feeds. A 64-fader Calrec Artemis Beam console (256 routable inputs via IP, 64 analog inputs/64 analog outputs) handles audio for the home show, and the VMU unit is equipped with a 32-fader Studer Vista 1 console. The 10,240×10,240 Evertz audio router is connected via IP to the Calrec console. 45 FLEX rolls with Sennheiser shotgun and stick mics, Sony lavaliers, and Crown cardioid mics. Other key equipment includes Evertz IP multiviewers, a Leader LV7600 IP waveform/vector rasterizer, RTS ADAM-M matrix intercom system (64 ports of OMNEO, 32 channels of MADI, 48 analog ports), Image Video TSI-4000 tally system, and ChyronHego HyperX3 or Vizrt (for Fox Sports shows only) graphics. The 1080p-ready 46 FLEX marks MTVG’s second end-to-end native-IP mobile unit and is fully SMPTE ST 2110-integrated from soup to nuts. “This mobile unit is definitely our most advanced system to date from a technology standpoint,” said Philip Garvin. “It has the latest technology across the board and the fact that it’s native end-to-end IP means that its capacity is enormous. It’s also designed to do 1080p HDR shows and can do 1080p 8x-[high frame rate] for both the cameras and EVS. Because it’s fully IP, there’s no limitation in what it can do for a 1080p show; you have don’t give up anything to do 1080p versus 720p — there is no infrastructure lost whatsoever.” Like its predecessor 45 FLEX, MTVG’s latest mobile unit is built around a Grass Valley Kayenne K-Frame X IP switcher (7M/E, 96 inputs/48 outputs), an Evertz 384-port EXE 2.0 IP router with up to 9,600 GBps, and a Evertz Magnum control system to manage the IP infrastructure. Since both the 46 FLEX unit and the 46 B Unit are connected entirely via IP, every single source is available to either the A unit or B unit at any given time. “MTVG and Fox have had a long and innovative relationship,” said Mike Davies, SVP, technical and field operations for Fox Sports. “We tapped Phil and his team to create a future-proof truck that could see us through the balance of this contract. It was no question that we needed the flexibility to do the shows of today and be ready to adapt to the shows of tomorrow. End-to-end IP was the easy answer to be sure we were ready for whatever comes.” The truck is among the first to roll with Sony’s new HDC5500 multi-format live cameras, which are equipped with the world’s first 2/3-inch 4K global shutter three CMOS sensor. 46 FLEX carries four HDC-550’s aboard capable of up to 8x-highframe-rate in 720p/1080p along with eight Sony HDC-3500

cameras and two Grass Valley LDK 8000 Elite cameras for the booth. In terms of glass, the truck is equipped with one Canon UJ111x8.3B long lens and seven XJ95x8.6B lenses (additional Canon 76x lenses long lenses can be added if using the B unit). In the replay room, four 12-channel EVS XT VIA IP replay servers (with full editing capability and 16 channels of embedded audio) carry the load, while another four-channel EVS XS VIA server is on hand for Spotbox (two channels per show during dual feeds). The audio room is built around a Calrec Artemis Beam 64-fader console (with 256 routable inputs via IP and 64 analog inputs/64 analog outputs) and relies on a 10,240x10,240 Evertz audio router connected via IP to the Calrec board. An RTS ADAM-M Matrix system handles the comms (64 ports of OMNEO, 32 channels of MADI, and 48 analog ports) and other key audio gear includes an ENCO Hotshot2 audio playout systems and a variety of Sennheiser microphones. The truck also features Vizrt graphics and 11 frame sync/ cross converters, including seven AJA FS-HDRs to enable HDR production when the client requires. As AMWA’s NMOS IS-04 discovery and registration specification and the IS-05 device connection management specification gain more traction in the industry, MTVG believes live IP production will continue to become more common. As a result, most of the IP gear on 46 FLEX is IS-04 and IS-05 compatible. “That means you should be able to connect an EVS or camera to the router or the switcher and, thanks to IS-04 and IS-05, you will have immediate communication,” said Philip Garvin. “That didn’t exist yet for 45 FLEX, but we have begun to take advantage of it in 46 FLEX and we’re working closely with the manufacturers to perfect the IS-04 and IS-05 discovery and compatibility. We hope that when we launch our 47th mobile unit next year, these developments will make integrating a truck in IP much faster and easier.”

NEP GROUP NEP SS8 Embraces IP, Creature Comforts By Ken Kerschbaumer

N

EP SS8 may have just hit the road, but it has already built a solid reputation, serving as the center of ESL One New York at Barclays Center and at MLB playoffs. Now it is settling into a full season of NBA action for Turner Sports. “This truck will be relevant for a long time and is the most advanced system we’ve put together,” said Joe Signorino, VP, systems integration, NEP U.S. Mobile Units division. He adds that there is a lot of flexibility in its design and in the implementation of new technology, such as the Lawo routing infrastructure and EVS XT-VIA servers. According to Stephanie DeMoss, senior director. sales and account management, NEP Group, NEP collaborated quite a bit with Turner Sports, which wanted some additional space and creature comforts. “They wanted more depth for the workbenches in production,” she said, “and it was key that we designed a layout that allowed them to scale up for NBA playoffs and MLB postseason, when they add more operators — especially in the replay room.

NEP collaborated with Turner Sports on the design of SS8, creating space to add operators when needed.

“Most important from a technology standpoint,” she continued, “they can grow into 1080p and HDR when they’re ready. It has been a great partnership.” The IP integration went very smoothly, Signorino said, noting that this was the sixth IP-based truck that NEP has put on the road, following the most recent launches of M15 and EN3. “We made the switch to Lawo and Arista Networks, and we have been pretty happy with it as we build a relationship with Lawo,” Signorino said. “And operating in IP is pretty intuitive now, and there is no real different feel to the production and operational side. “The audio room is very capable and [Dolby] Atmos-ready,” he continued. “Audio mixers can move from any of our trucks to the newer units and still be at home. We worked with Dolby to make sure we were in agreement with speaker placement; the room has Atmos audio monitors in the ceiling, which took some work to find the extra space needed given the lighting and duct work.” With 24 CCUs and 11 EVS units, the truck has solid firepower. Twelve of the CCUS are IP, and the other 12 can handle either SDI or IP. That gives the unit the flexibility to bring in third-party

It can support up to 24 cameras and 1080p, 4K, or HDR formats. It’s also complemented by a B unit, when needed, that rolled out two years ago. “That truck can operate in either a closed or open floorplan,” she added.

Do you have legacy archives and old tape libraries piling up?

It’s time to tackle that mountain of data. As sports organizations look to modernize their workflows, many are hesitant at the thought of any kind of larger data migration. When it comes to legacy archive migrations, moving from DIVArchive and other HSMs, the whole process may seem overwhelming. When moving large amounts of data onto new storage systems, into the cloud or a combination of the two, there are many things to consider. What if you could move your legacy archives, old tape libraries, HDD, LTO and more to a flexible storage environment, using a tool that not only indexes your content intelligently with AI, but also allows for easy access across multiple facilities and clouds, without disrupting your daily business? It is possible and not as daunting as you may think. Time to take the next step and migrate your old content, so that it can be securely used, repurposed and monetized again? We can help streamline the process and come up with a solution customized to your specific environment and requirements.

Gearbase

Inside the Gear Numbers

Results of SVG’s 14th-annual study of mobile-production equipment

T

he 14th-annual SVG Mobile Sports Production Gearbase Survey provides an ongoing database of production-truck technology for the North American fleet of more than 250 mobile units. Of the 258 mobile units listed in the 2020 Gearbase, only one is an SD-only truck, while 29 are 1080p-capable (up from 23 last year), eight are 4K SDR-capable (up from six), and 48 are 4K HDR-capable (up from 42). The 2020 Gearbase Survey covers 36 participating companies and lists nearly a dozen mobile units that debuted over the past 12 months. On the following pages is a listing of the trucks and their specs (based on data collected from participating companies in October 2019). Here is a brief summary of the Gearbase Survey’s key findings on the North American truck market. • With 58 trucks, NEP still has by far the largest fleet in North America, followed by Game Creek Video with 29, Mobile TV Group with 26 (not including its Visitor Mobile Units), Dome Productions with 21, Live Media Group with 15 (after acquiring TNDV, Harb, and Coastal Media Group in July), and Gravity Media with 12. In sixth place is Lyon Video (11), followed by F&F Productions (nine), and All Mobile Video (eight). Turn to page 14 for the Total Trucks by Company graphic. • Sony and Grass Valley continue to dominate the camera complement aboard, with 140 trucks carrying Sony and 77 deploying Grass Valley. Eighteen use Ikegami, 12 have Hitachi, 11 have Panasonic, and one uses JVC. • The battle for lens market share also remains a two-horse race. Of the 227 trucks that identified lens brand, 121 carry exclusively Canon lenses (53%), 69 have only Fujinon (30%), and 35 have a mix of Canon and Fujinon lenses (15%). Two trucks (1%) also carry Agenieux lenses. • Among switchers, Grass Valley continues to dominate, with its units found at the center of 202 mobile units (79%). Ross Video has switchers on 20 trucks (8%), Sony is in 17 (7%), and Blackmagic Design units are in 10 (4%) trucks.

second, with consoles in 26 audio areas (10%), followed by Studer (22 trucks), Soundcraft by Harman (13), Avid/Euphonix (nine), DiGiCo (six), and Behringer (five). • The video-router sector remains diverse, judging by the 212 trucks that identified router brand. Evertz is atop the market in a total of 73 trucks (34%) with Grass Valley ranking second at 51 (24%). PESA is third with 31 (15%), followed by Imagine Communications (19), Utah Scientific (15), Ross Video (10), and Blackmagic Design (five). As more IP-based mobile units launch, Lawo and Arista IP routing/switching systems have an increased presence in the market, with five units in trucks. • In HD replay devices, EVS is once again the industry standard: 204 HD trucks were identified as relying on some form of EVS system as its primary replay device (although about two dozen trucks also carry some other form of replay device). Currently, nine trucks carry Ross Video Abekas Mira systems, seven trucks carry Grass Valley K2 Dyno replay systems, and five have NewTek 3Play; the majority of these trucks also have EVS replay systems. • ChyronHego is still the market leader in graphics. Its systems are in 147 trucks that identified a platform. Forty-four trucks carry Vizrt systems, and 27 deploy Ross Video graphics.

• Calrec Audio remains the number-one audio console on trucks, with 176 consoles in 65% of the North American fleet. Yamaha is
