Looking Ahead
By Ken Kerschbaumer Sports Video Group, Executive Director, Editorial
W
elcome to what we hope is a very special and “one-off ” edition of the SVG Sports Production Yearbook. This year’s edition has been transformed by the COVID-19 global pandemic, and it is, I am sure, everyone’s hope that, by the time next year’s edition is put to bed, our industry is on a path to normalcy. Not just a new normal but, increasingly, the old normal of being able to put energy, focus, and financial resources into the production rather than into health and safety protocols. The current situation is one of the reasons we decided to forgo our usual Executive and Engineering Q&A about the state of the industry. Instead, we are offering Executive Perspectives from leaders in the industry. Every organization responded in a different way to the COVID-19 pandemic. And for good reason: every production was truly different this year as the days of “rinse and repeat” gave way to “plan, test, quarantine, plan, wash hands, wear mask, go home, quarantine, repeat.” And that is why we wanted to give some of the industry’s most important leaders a chance to reflect on those efforts. What were the initial challenges in getting back to producing events? What lessons were learned? And what are their thoughts as to how their team and the broader industry responded? Those Executive Reflections are complemented by a special report on “The Comeback.” That special report takes you inside and behind the scenes of the return of nearly every major professional league, college sports, and standalone events. In a way, this year’s edition is a celebration of all those efforts, efforts that have allowed members of the sports-production community to put food on the table, pay a mortgage and rent, and get back to work. Unfortunately, there is still much work ahead, much of it outside the control of our industry, to continue to get more and more people back to work. When they do get back to work, the mix of new workflows and old workflows will create some new opportunities but also, most likely, eliminate some positions. There will be pain ahead, although, for those willing to embrace new ways of doing things, there will be a chance to do more. More and more freelancers will have an opportunity to work from home, with control panels, both physical and virtual, tying them to replay servers, audio mixers, production switchers, graphics devices, and more. Those work-from-home efforts will have an effect on the future of truck design, which has always been at the center of SVG’s Yearbook. Future editions, and nearly all of SVG’s efforts, will reflect new realities, new opportunities, and new challenges. Simply put, a world free of the coronavirus will allow a completely new era of sports production to begin. An era that promises to, ultimately, bring together the best of new technologies, new workflows, and new creativity and production excellence.

Reflections 2020 SPORTS PRODUCTION LEADERS LOOK
BACK ON “A YEAR UNLIKE ANY OTHER”
W
hen the pandemic hit the U.S. full force in early March, sports production was forced to accelerate technology changes that were already in motion but not expected to happen for several years. Health and safety came to the forefront of production concerns at the same time as engineers were racing to enable talent and tech to work from their homes. As always, the production industry came together as a family to deliver sports television to a public that was hungry for live entertainment.

An Industry Breaks Broadcasting Norms to Bring Sports Back to TV By Chris Brown
VP, Sports Production Tech, Turner Sports
T
he year 2020 began for Turner Sports with the death of an NBA legend, Commissioner David Stern, followed closely by the loss of another NBA great in a much more tragic and impactful way: Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and six others close to the Bryant family were killed in a helicopter crash. In many respects, those two incidents would mark what was to become a year to remember. The 2019-20 NBA season came to an abrupt halt the Thursday before Selection Sunday for the NCAA Men’s D1 basketball tournament. That night, our production teams and technical crews were in place in L.A. and Milwaukee with hopes of producing our two featured NBA on TNT games for the evening. Shortly after that, the NCAA decided to call off the 2020 tournament. Looking back, I think it is fair to say that, at that time, we had absolutely no idea what was in store for us. We had no idea that what would come next would be the beginning of a seismic shift in what would become the future of live sports production. It thrust health and safety into the spotlight, and that has become more important than ever. When I look back on this past spring and summer, I am amazed at how the industry came together as a community, all with the same goal: to produce live sports content, breaking all of the “norms” of conventional broadcasting. From on-air talent and production and technical people managing their roles from home to splitting the broadcast compound between sports venue and broadcast studio. Given the willingness of each group, whether production or the operations and engineering team, to come together, make compromises, and pull everything together, it was great to be a part of such an important effort. As I thanked all of those on our teams at Warner Media, I felt it important to remind everyone how important our role in society is as professional sports broadcasters. We each play an important role in bringing live sports to the public at large. That role is to entertain and inform, to provide our fans with moments where we can all forget about the pressures of the world around us and rally together as family, friends, or team adversaries. It is our job in sports to figure out how to tell the story as thoughtfully and as meaningfully as possible and then deliver that story into homes, showcasing the latest tools that technology has to offer — both seen and unseen. I am so happy to call this Warner Media team, this entire community, my “sports family.” Robotic cameras play a big role in NBA coverage at the Wide World of Sports in Orlando.

Escalating Sports Production at a Breakneck Speed By Mike Davies
SVP, Technical and Field Operations, Fox Sports
O
perational Tempo (Optempo) is a military term that compares the speed and intensity of actions relative to that of the operational environment. To say the least, this industry is working at high Optempo, sometimes to an extreme. It wasn’t always this way. In fact, if we can think back to “years” ago — March and April 2020, specifically — there wasn’t much going on at all. It was a scary, uncertain time when the wheels of sports production ground to a halt and left us all wondering how this was going to unfold. In those heady days, we worked to unwind what we were doing and attempt to figure out how we were going to accomplish what was next, whenever that was. Since then, it has been a time of at first gradual and then breakneck production escalation as we move back into oddly scheduled seasons; scheduled, then rescheduled productions; bubbles and quasi-bubbles; and a variety of new safety protocols that have changed the very nature of how we get things done. One thing has not changed, though, and that is the resilience and ingenuity of our teams in the field and in our studios, not to mention the manufacturers who worked hard to churn it all out. The necessity of producing shows in a far more distant and distributed manner has announced a new era in accelerated technological advances, as these new workflows get ready for their collective close-up. The state of the industry is strong, even as it reinvents itself in real time. What this has done is add to the Optempo of those working the events, sometimes squeezing what would normally be months of events into a matter of weeks. Because every event takes 10 times the usual amount of time to coordinate in advance and twice the amount of time to execute onsite, a weary yet dedicated industry follows its course, responding to the slings and arrows that have been thrown at it.

The Show Must (Safely) Go On! By Mary Ellen Carlyle SVP/GM, Dome Productions
O
ne night back in March, a few members of the Dome team got together at the Sportsnet Grill. It was there we heard collectively that a Utah Jazz player had tested positive and that the game would be canceled. Little did we know when we left that night, our world as we knew it would change. One by one, our events were canceled. Immediately, our scheduling group sprang into action to ensure the safety of our freelance crews and staff engineers who were spread throughout North America covering MLS, NHL, and NBA 2K. We were informed that some might have come in contact with individuals who had tested positive for COVID. Who would have thought we would have protocols for quarantining, but now we do: 14 days quarantine if you experience COVID symptoms or come in contact with someone who has COVID. As the world of sports shut down, our NBA 2K client, Defacto Entertainment, would not surrender: “The show must go on!” Dome’s distribution and engineering team was challenged to come up with a technical solution that allowed players to remain in team houses, casters in their own homes, production in Vancouver, technical-production facilities in Toronto, and the overall executive producer in New York. Did we mention that everyone had to hear each other, see all the sources, and experience minimal latency?!? These new workflows introduced by the Dome team are now considered regular daily routine. While the NBA 2K season continued, other Dome team members were attending SVG’s Clean Freaks weekly sessions to ensure that our business comes back in such a manner that our clients, technicians, and employees are not only safe but also have the confidence that we will provide them with a safe working environment. Plexiglass, sanitizers, bubbles, declarations, “to-go bags,” and clean boxes are all new terms in our regular conversations. Thanks to Clean Freaks and unbelievable companies within our industry, Dome Productions was ready for sports’ restart. Woodbine Entertainment/TSN was the first to be back, with horse racing. A trusted partnership and extreme collaboration allowed a successful and safe return to sports. Next was the return of the NHL, where we were introduced to the “bubble.” Dome received the call to provide technical facilities and crew for the qualifying rounds through to the Stanley Cup. As we have an abundance of hostbroadcast experience, the technical specs were familiar, but nothing could have prepared us for the personal challenges that arose for team members living in a bubble for more than 75 days. Next was the restart of the NBA, where we provided a “REMI on steroids” for the local Raptors home show within another bubble presenting a whole new set of challenges relating to audio/video delays. Then, the restart of MLS — all becoming routine in our new world. When I was asked to write my reflections of 2020, it was suggested that I “give shout-outs to staffers and others who made a difference.” At Dome Productions, we are truly a team that came together, each playing a role to ensure a safe restart of remote production. I believe my team would agree with me that there is only one person we will remember in 2020, and that is Norm Liepold, our engineering maintenance manager, whom we lost during these unprecedented times.

he 2020 US Open was played on its regularly scheduled dates at its home, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. In this tough and trying year, beset by the global COVID-19 pandemic, that was not just good news; it was remarkable news! The successful staging of this year’s US Open was testament to the hard work, dedication, and support of many, including our US Open Domestic Broadcaster and Host Broadcaster, ESPN, and our Global broadcast partners. The US Open was played without fans and governed by strict safety protocols. The considerations were enormous to make this happen; U.S. government, foreign governments, New York State, and New York City all played key roles. We needed to arrange for 1,800 visas and no quarantine, not only for the players but also for the Gravity Media crews, ATP Media crews, production staff, and announcers. And then there was staffing, logistics, partnership fulfillment, medical preparedness/testing, the fan at-home experience, social distancing, sanitizing equipment, segmenting bathrooms, safely providing more than 40,000 “to-go” meals for the crews, enforcing safety guidelines, and more for a compound that had 700 persons onsite. We had to be vigilant for six weeks, not only for the US Open but also for the Western and Southern Open, which was held prior to the US Open. The efforts embodied the professionalism, respect that the team had for each other, expertise, positive attitudes, commitment, and heart that led us all to two successful events. The US Open provided opportunities for vendors, freelancers, and announcers, many of whom had not worked for many months. This meant a great deal to me personally and provided motivation on a daily basis. The unfaltering “get it done” attitudes of Jamie Reynolds and the ESPN team, the Gravity team, Nick Romano and the NEP team, Filmwerks, Veritone, Thumbwar, Boardwalk, Greyline, and the USTA world-feed production team led by Jennie Silverstein, our world feed and radio announcers, and our USTA team led by the remarkable efforts of Dayna Navatta — all were the silver lining and true gift to this US Open. That we did it under the most challenging of circumstances, with laughter and good spirits, is even more impressive. Our hope is, everyone continues to stay safe and well and celebrates their contributions to this historic 2020 US Open.

Finding Opportunities Amidst Unprecedented Upheaval By Phil Garvin
President, Mobile TV Group
F
or mobile-unit vendors, 2020 was an exercise in survival, taking care of employees and trying to anticipate inevitable changes in our industry. Seminal upheavals such as we are experiencing are an occasion for companies to re-examine their priorities and look for opportunities to offer technological solutions for the new environment. At Mobile TV Group, we decided to continue investing in the future while using much of our cash to minimize disruption to employees’ income. So we proceeded with our plans to build new mobile units (including 48 FLEX and 49 FLEX-CC). And we completed the R&D of Cloud Control, MTVG’s response to networks’ demands for more and better remote production. On Sept. 25, MTVG successfully demoed Cloud Control using a “visitor feed” of an MLB game. Altitude provided a producer, director, EVS operator, and graphics and bug-box operators for a full-blown Cloud Control production. It was shown on a Zoom feed so that anyone interested could see it and ask questions. The response was very positive because the effort was able to achieve production quality equal to pre-COVID visitor feeds but without exposing production staff to the cost and risk of traveling to events. We expect to roll out Cloud Control for many RSNs for the upcoming NBA and NHL seasons and beyond. One “good” result of COVID is that the leaders and engineers of the four leading mobile-unit vendors in the U.S. and Canada have had several virtual meetings to find common ground on how to deploy such remoteproduction systems.

Unity of Purpose and Creative Partnerships Key to NBA Restart By Steve Hellmuth
Executive Vice President, Media Operations, NBA
W
ith Adam Silver and the Players Association leading the way and Disney providing a venue at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports, along with a schedule of games, the NBA broadcasting community — including ESPN, TNT, NBA TV, and the regional sports networks, supported by our important vendors and technology providers — plotted the restart of the NBA season. The NBA greatly benefited from the decade’s-long partnership with ESPN and Turner Sports, as well as the integration of the NBA’s in-house LP&E (Live Production and Entertainment) unit. A working relationship forged over many All-Star Games and Finals allowed the team to ideate and build the studios at the NBA arenas in Orlando. The medical success of “The Bubble” came from unity of purpose. We were all united by respect and a focus on keeping each other healthy. Testing was axiomatic, but most important, as Dr. Leroy Sims, the NBA doctor in charge of The Bubble reminded us frequently, stick with the big prevention fundamentals: wear a mask, maintain distance, eat outdoors only, keep your hands away from your face, and use good judgment always. From my notebook of April 2, 2020, the guiding principles for media in the restart: • Innovative Game Production • Personalization • Community • Arena Experience Much of the innovation on display at the Restart in Orlando was developed at the Summer League in Las Vegas with ESPN and Turner. While ESPN and Turner produced games for air, the NBA maintained a full production truck for innovation (a place to fail) staffed with NBA RSN production personnel; much of the content did not go to air. ESPN’s Eddie Okuno and Turner Sports’ Chris Brown were present and engaged, and together we developed a rail-cam, experimented with the court-side cameras, established new, better slashcamera locations, and robotic camera placements. The initial testing on virtual placement that resulted in the TNT on-court shot clock was conducted at the Summer League and helped guide the extensive and successful use of virtual signage in Orlando. At the Summer League, the NBA engineering under the direction of Dave Barry learned to install and operate the HSAN

to accommodate the needs for the operation of the Replay Center, content creation, and program transmission. In Orlando, the NBA used encoding gear from three NBA arenas to create 66 paths from Orlando to Secaucus with 18 return paths. The NBA was virtually connected via a 255x255 router onsite integrated with the Secaucus router via Evertz Magnum. This onsite router, dubbed the IBC (International Broadcast Center), distributed all signals in the venue for Turner Sports and ESPN as well (with great assistance from NEP engineering). The in-arena atmosphere was conceived by Carlton Myers of NBA LPE to represent a dynamic basketball theater with the designated home-team game production director in the lead, controlling the videoboards, the music, the fan prompts, the in-venue announcer, and the crowd. The court was surrounded with four speaker clusters that brought an in-venue audio experience to the players, the players responded well, asking the LPE crew to turn it up. This worked very well for broadcast, with the mixers using in-venue ambient and direct sources to create a mix that protected the players. The Michelob Ultra Fan Zone featured fans virtually on 17-foothigh video walls, which was made possible by delivering low-latency feeds to fans who signed up for the experience. It was difficult, but when former President Obama joined a group of Legends for the first game of the Finals, we knew we had arrived. All are on board for a new season — with the cadence of a regular season we look forward to again connecting with NBA fans to bring the game to them anywhere and on any device.

Turning Our Biggest Challenges into Our Biggest Triumphs By Patty Power
EVP, Operations and Engineering, CBS Sports
With no fans in the stands this NFL season, Skycam will have extra space to fly.
O
ur team had a great start to 2020, great NFL playoffs, and a fantastic start to the PGA TOUR and was preparing for another NCAA Men’s D1 Tournament and Masters. Then came March 12, and everything was turned upside down. We were days away from the NCAA tournament and in the middle of conference championships, when everything was canceled and the Masters and PGA TOUR were postponed. We had to unwind all of our work in very short order and make decisions that would impact our crews immediately. On top of that, our Broadcast Center was closed due to COVID, and, although all live sports were suspended, we still had daily shows and weekend programming that we needed to return to air. The team quickly devised a plan to deliver audio and video equipment to our teams so that they could operate from home in a virtual control room and our talent could broadcast from home. It was a massive undertaking in a short time, but nothing compared with what followed. Given the week of June 8 as the return for the PGA TOUR, with health and safety as the priority, we had a little over two months to reimagine how to produce live golf.We relied more on technology as we reduced on our onsite footprint with the majority of our staff working remotely from around the world.We changed the entire workflow, adding mobile units onsite and reconfiguring them to maximize social distancing. It was a major adjustment for all involved, but it worked, and we were proud to lead the industry back to producing multiple-day, weekly events with great success. We learned many lessons, which we have applied to our return to football and will continue to use as we move forward in all our production, operations, and engineering planning. This was an amazing team effort. The teamwork, collaboration, and communications were key to our success. Without the leadership of CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus and President David Berson, the partnership with EVP/SVP Harold Bryant and his production team, along with the innovation and ingenuity of my operations team — Mike Francis, Jason Cohen, Scott Davis, Greg Coppa, Marianne Fischer, Tom McShane, Ed Coleman, Mike Angeloni — we would not have been as successful as we were. Special thanks to Rodney North and his team, who led our health and safety initiative and helped establish our protocols. For many, it was the biggest challenge of our career, but, as we continue working together in this new landscape, we believe, in the end, it will be one of our biggest triumphs. Looking forward to the challenges of 2021!

n Sept. 28, the Tampa Bay Lightning were crowned 2020 Stanley Cup Champion after defeating the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Final to end an unprecedented postseason that started with players arriving in the hub cities of Toronto and Edmonton on July 26 and ended with Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos hoisting the Stanley Cup surrounded by teammates — nearly one year after the 2019-20 season began on Oct. 2, 2019. The clinching victory came 363 days after the puck dropped on the regular season, 201 days after the pause began, and 65 days after players entered “bubbles” in Edmonton and Toronto for a postseason unlike any other in league history. The NHL became the first North American major professional sports league to successfully complete its season. The two highly complex, secure bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton included administration of 33,394 COVID-19 tests to the 24 teams’ players and staff with zero positive test results. The NHL’s Return To Play plan and bubble success presented 1,042 hours of Stanley Cup Playoffs broadcast coverage across North America. Games were also broadcast worldwide to more than 160 countries and territories, using a host/world-feed broadcast system (NBC in Toronto, Rogers in Edmonton). It was a challenge for all involved to keep everyone safe, along with supporting the needs of the NHL’s national and regional rightsholders as part of the world-feed format. Rightsholders produced the shows remotely, minimizing More than 20 cameras, including five robotic cameras shooting in super-slo-mo, covered all the action at Rogers Place in Edmonton.

the number of personnel onsite. Every NHL staffer worked tirelessly, leading up to and in the hub cities. Leading the technical project were the NHL’s Peter DelGiacco, EVP/CTO; Grant Nodine, SVP, technology; Mark Haden, group VP, broadcast technology; Dan O’Neill, VP, arena and event operations; and John Frantzeskakis, VP, arena technical operations. Leveraging the NHL’s extensive outdoor-event experience, the crew designed, rigged, and built in-arena stages, LED displays, theater-style lighting rigs, and graphic displays, transforming the respective arenas into a sophisticated, giant television studio, flooding the arenas with as much visual excitement as the cameras could take in. The world feed featured enhanced in-game audio and an arsenal of cameras, including super-slo-mo robotics, around the rink and in the dasher boards, and JITACAM, which enabled producers and directors to showcase the sounds, speed, and skills of each game. The NHL worked with EA Sports, NBC, and Rogers to design and deploy a solution based on the Ableton Live software platform to dynamically change the sound of the crowd to correspond to the action on the ice. The mixers did an incredible job of providing that layer of sound both on the broadcasts and in the bowl. In fact, one day, the house PA forgot to track it, and the players pointed this out immediately. With no fans in the stands, player profanity could be easily heard, so Ross’s Air Cleaner was deployed. Its advantage was to garble the on-ice audio instead of blanking it out. Evertz’s Scorpion MIO solution was used to delay the myriad signals being ingested remotely in the rightsholders’ Integration-Control Rooms (ICRs). Having a plethora of score-bugs shipped to site made no sense to the NHL. The scoreboard serial data was wired into an Evertz card, shipped out, de-embedded by the end users, and wired into score-bugs in the respective ICRs. With up to three games per day in the early rounds, the league had to significantly increase the content-capture and -distribution systems. Zixi was deployed to enable multiple end users to get content quickly, efficiently, and with high-quality monitored delivery. The NHL’s puck- and player-tracking technology system and virtual graphics were successfully integrated into NBC’s and Rogers’s broadcasts during the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final. Contributing effort, collaboration, and expertise in support of such a dynamic event were the NHL’s partners and vendors: Rogers/Sportsnet, Dome Productions, NBC Sports, NEP, Cat Entertainment Services, World Stage, SoloTech, HoTopp, AWS/Elemental, Apple, SAP, Daktronics, Aurora Productions, JITACAM, SMT, Fletcher, Bexel, All Mobile Video, Ross Video, SOS Global, Kenny Lighting, Arup, Evertz, CenturyLink, The Switch, Zixi, Encompass, and Just Lighting These games were a challenge to plan, build out, and run but were a major success. A lot of work but worth every minute!

Reinventing Our Company and Our Industry by Reinventing Ourselves By Mitch Rubenstein
President/Executive Producer, Ross Production Services
A
fter the weekend of March 14-15, I knew that events would be going away for us for the foreseeable future. What I did not know was how and when they would return. My message and blueprint I’d leave behind: We can reinvent our company by reinventing ourselves, and, through the process, we can help reinvent and restart our industry. I told my team, Let’s not just wait for events as we know them to come back for us to start working again; let’s find a way to work again and make ourselves a needed part of our industry and let’s help bring them back. I knew we’d be working from home, so communication was key, how we worked together and still pushed ourselves. Every week, we set goals to get better as individuals and as a company. Following the message “Find ways to contribute,” we began to innovate and find a new even more elevated place in our industry. Ross Mobile Productions became Ross Production Services (RPS), with an even greater focus on innovation through collaboration with our partners. We created the Ross Cloud Solution and our Ross Production Portal, allowing on-air talent and production people all over the world to work together with us from home. When Reese Witherspoon was talking to Jennifer Aniston on a show in our Production Portal created by our talented staff and I saw fans on College GameDay come in through our Cloud Solution, I knew we had truly evolved. Our RPS team worked long hours, stayed safe working alongside Tennis Channel, World Team Tennis, WNBA, College GameDay, CBS, Athletes Unlimited, EA, BoomBox, NBC, Red Bull, and others, doing our part to let broadcasts continue while bringing an innovative and new approach to live production with all of our Ross products. At Ross, we work every day under a code of ethics with numbers one and two being, respectively, that we will always act in our customer’s best interest and we will do our best to understand our customer’s requirements. Our code guides us daily, and, through this past year, we were able to act on it to an even greater extent, and we’ll continue to do so as the industry turns to us for forever expanding production needs. In December, we will have three brand-new state-of-the-art Ross control rooms for at-home production and any and all customer needs in our 25,000-sq.-ft. Wallingford, CT, facility. The Below the Rim camera system was powered by Ross Video’s Furio live robotic system.

Tackling the Impossible: From a Virtual Draft to a Season Kickoff By Dave Shaw VP, Production, NFL Media
W
hen the COVID pandemic hit in March, the Super Bowl had been played. Timing did not affect our league business as much as other sports leagues, but we did have one of our pillar events, the NFL Draft, quickly upon us in April. Instead of preparing for a year, we worked with the NFL Events team on transforming a live gala in Las Vegas into a “live virtual” event in coordination with our friends at ESPN. Nobody had yet done a live virtual event of this magnitude. Live coverage using more than 600 at-home cameras was delivered by an amazing team and a solid plan that was concocted in a few weeks. NFL’s IT team (led by Michelle McKenna, John Cave, and Aaron Amendola) coordinated hundreds of iPhone/light kits and helped coordinate a workflow with AWS. Our NFL engineering team, led by superstar Bruce Goldfeder, tackled the live connectivity working closely with DTAGs (led by all-around great guy Mike Burk), which championed his facility. At-home talent (AJ Wainwright and Mike Cunningham) used Azzurro’s reliable system/team and used LiveU. Bjorn Estlund created at-home setups. Brad Boim spearheaded in-cloud editing along with Zach Saile. Traffic flow was handled through three call centers: Van Wagner (Bob Becker and Nate McCoart) handled the clubs’ GMs and HCs; VCC (Larry Thaler) worked with player prospects coordinated by the NFL Business Development team, and The Famous Group using Vixi managed fan reactions. Since April, we all have adjusted to COVID safety issues, and mask-wearing, disinfecting, testing, contact tracing, 6-ft. distancing, UV filters are commonplace now. At NFL Media, it is no different. While the league spent a lot of time and is commended for getting the season off on time in safe environments, we, too, have been doing the same at our facilities, both current and future (when we open in 2021). Our operations team (Jessica Lee, Leon Schweir) and engineering team (Bruce Goldfeder, Jim Naughton, Lorey Anders, and others) have reimagined our stage programming to accommodate 25% staffing in the facility, with most people working from home. Our graphics team has developed dynamic backgrounds for in-house talent and adjusted to on-air changes. We continue to feel for all of those affected most by COVID and the surrounding events, including our core of freelance personnel, and look forward to whatever the new normal becomes in the future. Instead of preparing for a year, Shaw worked from home with the NFL Events team on transforming a live gala in Las Vegas into a “live virtual” event in coordination with ESPN. Nobody had done something of this magnitude ever before.

Passion and Innovation Drive the Runs Home By Susan Stone
SVP, Engineering and Operations, MLB Network
A
s we look back at the 2020 Major League Baseball season, I am proud to reflect on the creativity, adaptability, and resiliency of the MLB Network team this year. On March 16, MLB Network produced its last shows from our Secaucus, NJ, studios and control rooms for, unbeknownst to us, what would ultimately end up being 100 days. At the time, we hoped it would be a brief hiatus. Our extraordinary tech team thrives on a challenge and started brainstorming ways to produce studio programming remotely. On March 18, Steve Mellace, one of MLB Network’s lead technical directors, developed an idea for a turnkey production-fromhome solution. Steve had been volunteering in the media department of a local school district during which time he had worked with vMix. Gauntlet thrown. Within days, Jake Soto, Dan Stillwell, and the NTT Ballpark Cam team quickly deployed at-home camera kits for our on-air talent. Tony Giner, our lead tech manager, spent hours on end working talent through the technical setup via Zoom and FaceTime. Curt Bose and Kyle Arrowsmith from studio engineering spooled up a Unity solution for comms and figured out how to pass the vMix NDI signal through a Newtek Tricaster to get an HD-SDI output. The Tricaster had fortuitously just been purchased for a separate project pre–COVID-19. Brian Perkins and his IT Production Systems team had serendipitously introduced Singular (cloud-based) graphics earlier this year for set-content purposes and was able to leverage that technology for graphics insertion. Gregg Bishop, Josh Lee, and the postproduction team introduced us to the concept of TGX licenses, which allowed our producers to VPN into their Secaucus-based edit machines remotely. We purchased 10 licenses at the time and now have 60 in our arsenal. Working alongside SVP of Production Dave Patterson, Senior Coordinating Producer Rich Ciancimino, and the production team, we successfully executed our goal to produce MLB Tonight remotely on March 25 for “Opening Day at Home.” As 2020 comes to a close, our dedicated team continues to provide comprehensive baseball coverage by confronting every challenge with passion and innovation.

The Mark of Greatness: How an Organization and its People Respond to Adversity By Pat Sullivan
President, Game Creek Video
O
n March 12, Game Creek’s Encore production facility was midway through the Big East Men’s Basketball Championship quarterfinal game when the game and the balance of the tournament were canceled due to the pandemic. March 13, 2020: Game Creek Video was scheduled to provide production units for 13 events around America. They were all canceled or postponed. Between March 14 and Sept. 1, at least 671 events were either canceled or postponed. On March 16, the collective leadership of Game Creek started planning for our business life as we knew it at that time. What evolved after the virtual shutdown of our revenue was an incredible story of dedication, ingenuity, perseverance, and cooperation. Our primary concern and objective were to keep our engineering, transportation, logistics, and office staff safe, employed and engaged. Our finance team went to work with our bank group, formulating projections for a 30-, 90-, and 180-day shutdown. Little did we know we would soon be working on 18-month plans. Our logistics, human-resources, transportation, and operations teams jumped in with both feet, developing and executing safety protocols for the office and our mobile units. This was accomplished in the face of little or no guidance from our government, which was issuing conflicting guidelines for dealing with the spread of the virus. Our engineering team established a series of training seminars with our leading vendors. Every day, from March 30 to June 1, there were seminars on equipment operation and maintenance as well as sessions conducted by our staff on such things as show preparation. We had 80% of our staff participate in these seminars. The engineering team then went to work developing and then deploying GCV Anywhere, a solution that will enable production teams to maximize their capabilities remotely. As travel becomes a more pressing concern for all, Game Creek continues to promote new services that maximize the connectivity-component design of the Game Creek fleet. We are pleased with how this has evolved and excited to present more solutions to our clients as the pandemic creates new avenues for production. The mark of a truly great organization is how the people in that organization respond to adversity. While we have a long way to go to get back to normal, the last several months have set the table for many years of unlimited potential. Game Creek Video’s engineering team responded to the pandemic by developing a range of new services.

The Comeback: HOW LIVE SPORTS PRODUCTION RETURNED IN THE AGE OF CORONAVIRUS
W
Since the return of live sports productions, broadcasters have implemented extensive testing protocols across the board in order to keep crews safe and healthy.
hen the pandemic caused the U.S. sports world to suddenly grind to a halt in mid-March, broadcasters and live-event producers were faced with one of the greatest challenges in the industry’s history: how to bring back live sports broadcasts safely. In the ensuing months, sports broadcasters, technology vendors, and production-service providers worked together to develop unique new workflows — both onsite and remote — that would pave the way for live sports broadcasts to resume. Despite a litany of unknowns and a 2020 sports calendar thrown into chaos, all four major U.S. sports leagues returned along with the bulk of the major American sports events — providing a muchneeded respite for content-hungry sports fans struggling during the pandemic.

THE COMEBACK
Early Days of the Pandemic: Esports, NFL Draft, and PBR W
hen the traditional sports world came to a grinding halt in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, the esports world soldiered on, hosting online competitions with players competing remotely. Major esports entities like Riot Games (League of Legends), Activision Blizzard (Overwatch League and Call of Duty League), EA (Madden, FIFA, and Apex Legends), the NBA 2K League, and many others created new cloud-based virtualized live-production workflows that allowed both players and production crew to be located safely at home. Just over a month into the pandemic shutdown, the NFL
Draft provided a much-needed respite for content-hungry sports fans. The NFL Draft is a live production that has never been short on obstacles, annually presenting ESPN and NFL Media production staff with brain-bending puzzles that they thrived on solving. This Draft, though, was something totally different. ESPN, NFL Media, and an army of vendors were forced to come up with whole new scheme for the nationwide production effort, which spanned from ESPN’s Bristol, CT, campus to the NFL Network to the homes of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL GMs, coaches, and Draft prospects around the country.

THE COMEBACK — Esports, NFL Draft, and PBR continued
PBR (Pro Bull Riders) became the first U.S. sports entity to return to action in late April with the PBR Las Vegas Invitational. PBR returned to action with the help of a number of safety protocols designed to ensure that everyone involved in the production was as safe as possible. In doing so, it helped to develop early best practices not only for TV production in the age of coronavirus but also for the safeguards to ensure production crews, venue personnel, and competitors stay safe and healthy.
Above: The NFL Draft proved to be one of the most complex live productions in history, as NFL Media, ESPN, and their partners were forced to create a virtual workflow that entailed managing hundreds of feeds from players, coaches, GMs, fans, and the commissioner across the country. Left: NFL Media’s TOC for the Draft was located at the DTAGS facility in Tulsa (shown), while most of its production team was located at their homes. As for ESPN, much of the crew also worked from home, while others at ESPN’s Bristol, CT, campus operated under socialdistancing guidelines with no more than seven in control rooms, and all were directed to wear facial coverings.

cavalcade of motorsports returned to the track in May, led by NASCAR, which kicked things off with The Real Heroes 400 at Darlington Raceway. NASCAR and Fox Sports shifted into overdrive and worked with track officials and all of the racing teams to get NASCAR back in action. Crew safety has always been a top concern at NASCAR given the nature of the sport and a busy pit road and garage area. The pandemic adds a totally different level of safety demands, and every decision NASCAR and Fox made was to maximize that safety in light of the coronavirus.
Motorsports continued to lead the way in the return of live U.S. sports with the 2020 MotoAmerica Championship rolling out in late May after a nearly two-month delay. MotoAmerica’s production partner, LDM Worldwide, rolled out a production (which aired on FS1 and FS2) at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI, that emphasized the crew’s safety while maintaining the broadcast quality that MotoAmerica fans have come to expect. Next up was NBC Sports’ presentation of Monster Energy AMA Supercross at Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium. For Feld Entertainment, the network’s production partner, putting on a great broadcast was an objective, but the well-being of all onsite crew members was of utmost importance. Another major motorsports property returned to the track in early June when the 2020 NTT IndyCar Series launched at Texas Motor Speedway. With live sports content at a premium

irst up, the PGA Tour’s TaylorMade Driving Relief skins match produced by PGA Entertainment, NBC Sports, and Sky Sports. And it may have only featured four golfers, six handheld cameras, and zero caddies, but it certainly went a long way towards satiating the thirst for live professional sports and also showed that remote workflows for golf are possible as it was produced out of PGA TOUR Entertainment’s facility 250 miles up route I-95. The following weekend saw Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods join NFL greats Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and for Capital One’s The Match: Champions for Charity. Televised live on TBS, TNT, HLN, and TruTV (as well as streaming on Turner apps and websites), the event saw Turner Sports utilize EP’s EN1 production unit and 11 cameras to
cover the charity match, with safety as its top priority. The golf world was soon in full swing as the PGA TOUR resumed on CBS Sports, GOLF Channel, and PGA TOUR LIVE with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Ft. Worth, TX, in early June. Their efforts were the results of two months of solid planning that created a new production philosophy driven by social distancing and the need to minimize onsite production staff. Right around the same time, sports viewers saw the return of live tennis productions in the U.S., as Tennis Channel served up the UTR Pro Match Series in early May. Tennis Channel would continue producing live tennis consistently in the months that followed — all the way through the US Open and French Open in September and October.

THE COMEBACK
Top Rank Returns to the Ring, While UFC Sails to Fight Island
A
fter a three-month hiatus, ESPN jumped back into the live-event production business with a series of Top Rank boxing fights at Las Vegas’s MGM Grand Conference Center. While ESPN carried the live-event torch the best it could during the early days of the pandemic — with telecasts ranging from the NFL Draft to English-language commentary of KBO baseball and even Cornhole — the Top Rank series opener on June 9 marked the first event fully produced by ESPN staff since the sports industry halted abruptly in midMarch. To limit the number of people onsite, ESPN used its “modified REMI” (remote-integration) production model for the fight productions. In this workflow, the director and TD were onsite inside NEP’s NCPX trucks, producing a line cut with replays that were sent to ESPN’s Bristol, CT, headquarters, where graphics, non-replay tape rolls, and commentary were integrated into the telecast. Just a few weeks after Top Rank’s restart, UFC’s much-hyped Fight Island officially kicked off with UFC 251, the first of four events held in two weeks at the one-of-a-kind compound created on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. With a full quarantine bubble in
place, UFC’s production-operations team worked with NEP to create a broadcast center from scratch inside the Flash Forum, the venue in which the fights are held. NEP Singapore provided the flypack and additional equipment to create UFC’s BOC inside the Flash Forum, which comprised a main control room and separate rooms for tape, graphics, audio, and transmission. The arena is essentially cut in half, with one half housing the Octagon and performance spaces and the other housing the production facilities and warm-up areas for fighters. With peak temperatures breaking 100°F on a daily basis, outdoor production facilities were not an option. The climate-controlled environment kept crew and equipment safe while also allowing for separate rooms to create a COVID-safe environment for production teams.

MLS, NWSL Tournaments Take the Pitch
A
fter European soccer got a head start with Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga, Series A, and others taking the pitch in May and early June, American soccer got into the game with a pair of stateside tournaments just as summer kicked off. Both the NWSL Challenge Cup and the MLS Is Back Tournament were held inside bubbles to keep players, personnel, and broadcast crew safe. First up was the NWSL Challenge Cup, which not only marked the return of live team sports in the U.S. on June 27 but also was the first time an NWSL match appeared on a broadcast network. To produce the 23 match broadcasts (the opener and Championship Game aired on CBS, with all matches streamed on CBS All Access) from Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, UT, the league and CBS Sports teamed with longtime NWSL partner Vista Worldlink to remotely produce the matches from its centralized broadcast facility in Dania Beach, FL. A total of 18 transmission paths were sent from Utah to Vista’s production facility — via satellite uplink, IP, and bonded cellular to ensure redundancy — to handle camera feeds and comms. Soon after in July, the MLS Is Back Tournament kicked off

from Disney World’s Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando. ESPN served as host broadcaster for all 54 match broadcasts — which were carried on a combination of ESPN, Fox Sports, and Univision/TUDN in the U.S. and on TSN in Canada. ESPN rolled out a production complement unprecedented for MLS coverage. Coverage of the three active playing fields in Orlando featured a whopping 33 cameras per field, including a cable-suspended aerial system, drones, a jib cart, pole cams, goal cams, and POVs in the locker rooms. Other highlights included microphones embedded in the field and a 300-ft.-long blue chromakey wall surrounding the field for placement of virtual graphics in place of fans in the stands.

M
ajor League Baseball was the first of the “big four” major sports leagues that returned to action with a belated opening night on July 23. MLB Opening Day marked the culmination of months of planning by both regional sports networks and national broadcasters to get baseball back on the air.
Regional sports networks took the lead for live-game productions. To limit the number of people and facilities onsite, the league opted to have the home-team RSN in each market produce a neutral/clean world feed of each game to distribute to the away-team RSN and, when necessary, the national broadcaster. continued on page 82

THE COMEBACK — Baseball Returns continued
Under the model set up by the league, the home RSN’s production team was responsible for producing a clean worldfeed broadcast that presented a “50/50” (equal on-air—time), unbiased narrative of the game for both teams. This feed was delivered to the away RSN and/or national broadcaster, which added its own graphics, commentary, studio/shoulder content, and commercials. In addition to this clean feed, the away RSN was provided with one or two dedicated iso cameras, which the director could weave in team-specific shots to help customize the telecast. Nearly all RSNs deployed their regular mobile units at the ballpark to produce these world feeds for home games, while away RSNs either used their truck at their own team’s ballpark or integrated their telecasts from control rooms in their studio. ESPN built out a full-fledged plan that featured one of the largest REMI efforts out of its Bristol, CT, facility, complete with K-Zone and Statcast graphics and other technologies to improve the clean feed supplied by RSNs. Turner Sports also took in RSN feeds and customized them for its own national telecasts. Meanwhile, MLB Network was responsible for multiple fronts, deploying a full at-home production model in Secaucus, NJ, as well as supplying all the RSNs with the foundation to capture the clean feed used by all the national broadcasters.

NBA Heads to Disney World While WNBA Erects ‘Wubble’
T
he NBA’s bubble at Disney’s Wide World of Sports (WWoS) complex in Orlando represented one of the largest undertakings in NBA broadcast history with the NBA, ESPN, and Turner Sports teaming up to produce not only national telecasts but also world feeds for hundreds of regional-sports-network broadcasts across the country. A nearly 200,000-sq.-ft. broadcast compound (equal to roughly three football fields) was built to serve as home to 13 production trucks and 31 trailers. In addition, three WWoS arenas were transformed into one-of-a-kind venues chock-full of LED screens, robotic cameras, embedded microphones, and other state-of-the-art tech. At least 258 cameras have been deployed across the WWoS complex, including more than 60 robos and two RailCam systems. With no fans in the stands, 17-ft.-tall LED screens around three sides of the courts served as “stands” displaying more than 300 cheering fans who joined the game via Microsoft Teams. Virtual graphics/signage were also used integrate sponsorship
and other content directly on the court. A total of 357 microphones have been deployed (119 per court) across the three venues, including 34 microphones embedded in each court to capture sneaker squeaks, player interaction, and other sounds of the game rarely heard with thousands of fans in the arena. The league also pumped in simulated crowd noise to re-create the home-arena ambiance. As for on-air talent, ESPN, TNT, and NBA TV announcers were located higher up than their typical courtside seat in a plexiglasssurrounded booth to ensure social distancing. Just prior to the tipoff of the NBA bubble, the WNBA launched it own bubble, with the ESPN production team, teams, and league personnel calling Feld Entertainment Studios in Bradenton, FL, home for three months. The Feld Studio housed two courts as well as a significant back-of-house infrastructure that provided ample room for everyone to get to work. Game Creek Video’s Discovery production unit is onsite for the ESPN and ABC Sports Broadcasts and Ross Production Services was on hand for the WNBA world feed, which is fed to CBS Sports Net and selected RSNs.

THE COMEBACK
NHL Blows Dual Bubbles in Toronto, Edmonton T
he NHL returned to action by building two “Hub Cities” in Toronto (Scotiabank Arena) and Edmonton (Rogers Place) — redesigning each to look more like the set of an American Gladiators-esque game show than a pro-hockey game. While these bubbles were designed to offer a safe, COVIDfree environment for the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs to be played, the controlled environments also served as laboratories for live sports-video production. With that in mind, the NHL built a truly made-for-television product for fans watching at home. Working with Canadian broadcaster Rogers Sportsnet in Edmonton and U.S. broadcaster NBC Sports in Toronto, the league built similar broadcast templates that included deployment of more than 30 cameras in each arena; a typical NHL game usually caps out around 20. Each broadcaster was responsible for creating a world feed to be shared with each other and, when it applied, with the regional sports networks for the teams playing in the game. While the bubbles did not permit fans in the stands, the league put a lot of energy into taking advantage of the things it would never be able to do with fans in the building. That includes placing cameras, video screens, and microphones in locations that, normally, would obstruct the view of fans in the

stands or would be a safety concern. In addition, a JITACAM — a jib on an extremely long crane arm that can operate in 360 degrees — was hung in each of the arenas above the seats (a location normally unavailable for safety reasons and because of blocked viewing angles). The NHL also liberally sprinkled microphones around the arena to capture even more of the natural sounds of the game (implementing a 5-second delay to account for inappropriate language that might get picked up) and worked with EA Sports (which produces the league’s annual videogame series) to create crowd noise that was pumped into the arenas.

THE COMEBACK
USTA, ESPN Serve Up CovidSafe US Open in Queens T
his year’s US Open effort was the result of months of planning, contingency planning, and taking some risks with new technologies by the USTA. The USTA held weekly calls with key organizations, including Hawk-Eye, SMT, ATP Media, WTA Media, NEP, and ESPN leading up to the tournament. The goal was to pull off the first tennis major to be played in the age of COVID-19 and to hold it in New York City, arguably ground zero of the pandemic here in the U.S. No fans, no international rightsholders onsite, no media were part of the solution. Plenty of strict protocols to make sure everything was as safe as possible was the other part. For its part, host-broadcaster ESPN was tasked with producing the US Open — its largest event of the year — under unprecedented circumstances. Even in a good year, the production takes months of planning at a scale that can impress anyone in the industry. Add in COVID-19, and the accomplishment the team pulled off to get to this point is even more impressive. ESPN worked closely with the USTA team to draw out the spacing needs to the inch so that every operator could work in a socially distanced way. International rightsholders were not at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center, and many personnel who would usually be onsite were working remotely. Those two factors allowed the ESPN and USTA teams to work more safely. The biggest production change was that there were only three

THE COMEBACK
Big-Time Productions Return With CBS and NBC’s Golf Major Coverage F
or golf broadcasters, this year was a year unlike any other: the Majors schedule was shuffled, events were canceled, and fans were rarely permitted at professional golf events. And that is why the production plan CBS Sports put together for the PGA Championship in August at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco was so important: it signaled the return to producing a sports event in a big way. CBS Sports’ production marked the largest remote presence for a live sports event since the whole pandemic began with 22 mobile units, a twostory tech structure, and a multitude of office trailers. While the production included fewer people onsite than in the past, the production quality and dedication from the crew remained the same. NEP Supershooter CBS handled back-nine coverage; Game Creek Video’s Encore, the front nine, while NEP ND7 handled a variety of tasks for CBS and ESPN. Just over a month later, the second major of the year teed off with the U.S. Open. Producing a golf major typically takes one (if not two) full years of planning. So, when NBC Sports

took over the 2020 U.S. Open from Fox Sports just two months before it was set to tee off at Winged Foot, it kicked off an accelerated planning process that would challenge any production team. The result of all the effort was a production that had upwards of 74 cameras, an aerial shot, a massive compound featuring NEP and BSI production units, and three on-course studios. NEP’s ND4/Double Eagle A, B, and C was at the core of the production. Also in the compound were XL1, Fiber 1 and 2, Supershooter 17, Supershooter 29, ST1, ND6, and ST21, ND6, Supershooter 28. More than 190 countries broadcasted the U.S. Open via a world feed produced by the USGA out of NEP’s NCP14 production unit. In addition, NBC was out in full force onsite for the U.S. Open, following in the footsteps of CBS’s massive footprint for the PGA Championship a month earlier. CBS Sports returned to the tee box in November for the rescheduled version of The Masters from Augusta National, deploying its typically massive and detail-oriented production.

THE COMEBACK
After Tumultuous Offseason, College Football Returns to the Gridiron F
ollowing an offseason riddled with uncertainty and debate, when it appeared that the college football season may very well not happen, all the top-tier college football conferences were able to kick off their seasons this fall. And, thanks to the diligent work of ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, and other broadcasters, fans were able to see the return of all 10 FBS conferences through hundreds of COVID-safe live productions at venues across the country. ESPN has deployed a variety of onsite and REMI production models to broadcast upwards of 300 games over three months. ESPN operations pulled every flavor of live production workflow out of its pockets, ranging from the COVID-altered onsite full truck productions with crew and on-air talent onsite to varied levels of REMI productions. The network even utilized the on-campus control rooms at ACC and SEC schools, which

were originally designed to support school-produced live broadcasts for the ACC Network and SEC Network, at various points during the season. Fox Sports also embraced remote production, creating a world they are calling “The Vault” that can be connected to any of its trucks on college football or NFL. Fox has multiple positions for EVS operators, Fox Box scorebug operators, and Vizrt operators. Despite relocating about 25 positions across all of its shows back home, “nobody could tell if something was coming from the truck or The Vault,” according to top Fox Sports production exec Brad Zager. continued on page 104

THE COMEBACK— College Football Returns continued
The SEC returned to the field in late September and the CBS production, operations, and technical teams had to overcome numerous challenges to prepare for SEC on CBS productions. The number-one priority was the health and safety of the crew. To that end, CBS Sports has had some production and technical personnel working offsite. For SEC on CBS, that will mean multiple positions typically located in the truck have been re-located offsite to Freedom Studios in Clifton, NJ, which is tied into the F&F Productions GTX19 production truck that will be onsite at the games. NBC once again threw its efforts into bringing the storied Notre Dame football program into living rooms of the school’s countless fans across the world. These efforts crescendoed in November with with the Fighting Irish’s dramatic upset of then No. 1 Clemson, which was “far and away the biggest production we’ve ever done in the history of our Notre Dame coverage,” according to director Pierre Moossa.

And though the league may have begun play on time, the offseason was anything but normal for NFL rightsholders CBS, ESPN Fox, NBC, and NFL Media. The NFL on CBS is in the midst of another year as broadcaster of the Super Bowl with big plans for the big game in 2021.

When it comes to live sports productions, it simply doesn’t get any bigger than NBC’s Sunday Night Football. In 15 years together, NBC’s SNF production and operations teams have seen just about everything. However, with no preseason games on which to prepare for the SNF slate this year, the crew faced a series of challenges unlike any they had seen before.

While ESPN will honor the legacy of MNF, 2020 is undoubtedly the beginning of a new era for one of the longest-running series in TV with a new broadcast booth and new producer — Phil Dean — joining second-year director Jimmy Platt. For its part, NFL Media and NFL Network looked to build on its offseason success with the NFL Draft, by simulcasting Thursday Night Football games with exclusive NFL Network broadcasts for weeks two, three, and four.

During 2020, AE Live has accelerated its already well-established plans to expand its range of remote- and centralized-production options with a number of completed and pipeline projects across multiple sports and with numerous existing and new clients. Naturally, this was due in no small part to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that broadcasters and governing bodies were scrambling to continue to bring live sport to consumers. The senior management team was determined to use the downtime that came during the midst of the lockdown to drive its engineering, R&D, operational, and development teams to turbocharge projects relating to remote delivery and come up with new and flexible ways to support its client base. This has been underpinned by the ongoing development of Graphics Operations Centres (GOCs) in both the UK and India. They include installation of dedicated 10-GB connectivity (plus backups) in each location that ensures AE is on-net and can house graphics renderers and associated equipment centrally. The GOCs also feature custom-built operational pods providing everything required for operational teams to deliver AE’s range of services, including video monitoring, talkback, and control PCs. Whether working from the GOCs, onsite at event venues or elsewhere, AE’s frontline teams will be able to access the full suite of cloud-based data capture and management tools and software control applications. AE Live understands that every one of its clients faces unique challenges and plans their workflow slightly differently. The company expects that its latest investment and development will enable it to devise a bespoke remote service for every client, regardless of individual circumstances.

The year 2020 began busier than ever with numerous golf and racing shows, along with the College Football Championship, Winter X Games, auto auctions, and many other events. March saw a shutdown in sports that challenged the company as a whole. However, the BSI family found ways to support each other and its community during that time. Throughout the pandemic, BSI manufacturing and engineering worked around the clock to manufacture mask parts for PPE gear to support local first responders. Other BSI employees worked through the tough times by meeting on Zoom and Teams to ensure that fellow team members and necessary products were safely prepared and deployed for an immediate start back into sports broadcast. With sports beginning to return in May, the Golf team put on one of the most-challenging and -watched sports events: the

success of “The Match” was a credit to the BSI team onsite and was prepared with gear prior to arrival. Held in constant rainy conditions and with COVID standards that required everyone to test and quarantine prior to the beginning of work, the celebrity event was a pivotal early start back into sports for BSI.

turnkey packages. Both are configurable to serve cloud streaming and user-hosted playout workflows. Ease-of-setup represents the main departure from first-generation CamSTREAM systems, accelerating configuration for content creators. The all-in-one packages attach to the top of a tripod or can be set on a tabletop. The user then flips two switches to the on-position to obtain power and begin shooting. Once shooting commences, the Agile Airlink device streamlines connectivity by bonding Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and mobile data paths into a single, robust H.264 or H.265 transmission stream. CP Communications technicians can manage production from network-operations centers, with remote control and management supported through Mobile Viewpoint’s LinkMatrix system. CamSTREAM and CamSTREAM2 integrate a Sony SRG360SHE PTZ camera, a Mobile Viewpoint Agile Airlink encoder, a return-video monitor and connections for audio (wired or wireless microphones, IFB systems) as well as HDMI outputs for return video and autocue. A second video input provides capacity for a second camera or a gaming device. CamSTREAM2B strengthens technical capacities for larger-scale live sports and broadcast productions, adding full-remote PTZ control (via a joystick controller), camera paint control, and remote audio functionality, including the ability to control gain structure.

Technology surrounds and engages, permeating the consciousness with sights and sounds. It’s facts, data. Pitch speed. 3-pointers shot and made. Yards needed in a game of inches. But it’s much more. It’s a link, a connection between you and your fans, exciting and energizing them even if they’re not in the stands. All facets of how the world interacts today revolve around screens. They are a powerful communication medium critical to fulfilling a brand promise, a fan experience, and operator engagement. When done right, communicating via digital screens empowers human connection: removing the distance, delivering a message, celebrating fandom, even saving lives. There is a lot at stake. People just expect the technology to work. It’s that simple. Yet the requirements for facilities, operations, marketing, and IT are bigger and more complex than ever. Diversified understands your need to demonstrate the value of next-gen technology to key stakeholders. Whatever the vision and specs, it delivers. It’s a global organization serving local needs; there isn’t a problem too big (or small) for its teams to take on. It aims to harness human imagination to drive digital innovation and knows that, in a socially distanced world, technology can bring the masses closer together, keeping them both entertained and protected from harm. Diversified is Imagination Engineered.

Meanwhile, the company this year appointed Ryhaan Williams to the post of SVP, sales and systems, U.S., as the latest step in its move to offer a full portfolio of services to clients in the North American market.

plexiglass dividers for office spaces, school rooms, and any other type of group setting where social distancing is critical. Businesses used Filmwerks’ UPS systems and batteries to temporarily back up power in order to perform routine maintenance on data centers. Additionally, large retailers and distribution centers hired Filmwerks to supply temporary power and climate-controlled solutions to expand their reach to high-volume areas across the U.S. in preparation for the heavy holiday online-shopping season. During this time, it also became important to donate any resources available in the fight against COVID-19. Filmwerks used its 3D-printing machine to create face shields for first responders to use in medical facilities and pop-up testing centers. Fortunately, sports, news, and drivein—style entertainment started to make a comeback, and Filmwerks ended the summer with an extremely busy schedule consisting mainly of college and NFL football, PGA golf, and political shows. As the election grew closer, Filmwerks provided generator power, custom structures, and scenic services to many of the major networks for coverage of the presidential race. It had been quite an enlightening year strategizing how to be more versatile in business.

Lyon Video provided multiple super-slow-motion cameras and super-slowmotion replay servers for all home Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians broadcasts throughout the 2020 season. Working safely during the COVID outbreak could have been a challenge for Lyon Video’s Special Projects Group.

Vista Studios provided a safe environment for staff efforts, and we thank them for their efforts.

Lifting Media Over IP to multi-vendor IP fabrics and edges
When broadcasters and leagues first moved to IP, they would rely on a single supplier for their IP fabric and their edge devices, mainly to avoid interoperability glitches. Today, technology data planes are interoperable, and customers deploy main and backup (red and blue) networks using different equipment, sourced from different vendors. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logic to it, because why would your backup system be the same as the main? If main fails, backup is likely to fail as well! Technology redundancy in an IP and software environment is ever more crucial. To achieve that, a multi-vendor SDN orchestration and monitoring system is required. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where DataMiner takes the lead. It gives you the freedom of choice for fabric and edge devices. You can mix and match any brand and model, or any type of media flow on a single converged network.
Discover it yourself. Watch our webinars or request our free solution guide on skyline.be/all-IP open monitoring & orchestration software for any media and broadband platform

2020 was an exercise in survival, taking care of employees and trying to anticipate inevitable changes in our industry. Seminal upheavals such as we are experiencing are an occasion for companies to re-examine their priorities and look for opportunities to offer technological solutions for the new environment. Mobile TV Group decided to continue investing in the future while using much of our cash to minimize disruption to employees’ income. So we proceeded with our plans to build new mobile units (including 48 FLEX and 49 FLEX-CC). And we completed the R&D of Cloud Control, MTVG’s response to networks’ demands for more and better remote production. On Sept. 25, MTVG successfully demonstrated Cloud Control using a “visitor feed” of an MLB game. Altitude provided a producer, director, EVS operator, and graphics and bug-box operators for a full-blown Cloud Control production. It was shown on a webinar allowing anyone interested to see it and ask questions. The response was very positive because the effort achieved production quality equal to pre-COVID visitor feeds but without exposing production staff to the cost and risk of traveling to events. MTVG expects to roll-out Cloud Control for many RSNs for the upcoming NBA and NHL seasons and beyond.

As we look back, 2020 was a challenging year requiring adaptation to new realities. From moving our workforce to completely remote operation to maintaining and sourcing new business, SOS has been able to view the year as successful. SOS Global Express started 2020 off quickly before its event-based business slowed down, with only a recent restart under much different conditions. Despite the challenges, SOS managed logistics for US Open tennis, PGA TOUR, Kentucky Derby, U.S. Open golf amidst ever-changing schedules and restrictions. Many of the events we were looking forward to have been moved to 2021 or beyond, including Tokyo Olympics, UEFA Championship, and NCAA tournaments. Formed in 1986, SOS Global Express now employs more than 130 logistical specialists worldwide, focused on TV production, sports, music touring, and major live events, delivering turnkey solutions and operational support 24/7/365.
SOUTHWORKS is the cloud broadcast-engineering team behind some of the most demanding, mission-critical implementations currently transforming the live-sports OTT landscape. Challenge: Discovery is a great example. With nearly 1,500 hours of linear and live content delivered daily, Discovery has been a major player in OTT for many years. In 2019, it wanted to broaden its streaming strategy and build/operate a direct-toconsumer platform of its own, taking advantage of its unique content portfolio and dedicated fan following. Because the architects at Discovery needed state-of-the-art, world-class infrastructure in the cloud on an aggressive timeline, they turned to SOUTHWORKS for assistance. Solution: As a Select AWS Network Partner, SOUTHWORKS had the expertise Discovery needed to help design, develop, and deploy a scalable and reliable solution using the latest technology from the AWS Media Services platform. Over six intense months, SOUTHWORKS was able to deliver a new system capable of supporting hundreds of live channels with a minimum of operator overhead, making a significant positive impact on Discovery’s business while enabling the network to deliver a broad array of new channels and subscription-based services to a global audience. Try us: We approach every project with a fierce “own it, bring it, prove it” mentality to solve our clients’ most pressing cloud broadcasting challenges.

15TH-ANNUAL SVG MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION GEARBASE SURVEY RESULTS
A
fter a bumpy start, the sports-production industry’s fleet of mobile vehicles kept rolling throughout the pandemic. Amidst the coronavirus calamity, several major “truck companies” rolled out “cloud-based” alternatives, and others found time to add to their fleet of state-ofthe-art studios-on-wheels. This year’s SVG Gearbase once-again documents our industry’s ongoing investment in cutting-edge technology – even during an unprecedented year consumed as much by PPE, testing, and sanitizer as IP, cloud and remote production protocols.

IN FRAME TIME BASED METADATA: MONEYBALL 2.0 The demand for innovative metadata and media asset management is spreading across industries, spurred by the geometric growth of video. “Moneyball” originated as a baseball term where the innovative statistical analysis of data revolutionized the business of sports. Moneyball 2.0 is the similar game-changing potential offered by tapping into metadata contained in sports-related media. AIDA Content Management and 2XB Media Productions enables the application of In Frame Time Based Descriptive Metadata (IFTBD) on a near automated basis with precision as to mark the exact time & point in frame of an object or action. Video then can be searched, retrieved and organized on a multi-purpose basis including player or team performance analysis.
