ADVISORY BOARD MEMBERS

by Ken Kerschbaumer
Sports Video Group, Executive Director, Editorial

hen last years edition of the Remote Sports Production Yearbook was being
shipped off to the printer, any discussion of building an IP-based production
unit was purely theoretical. What a difference a year makes. As this years edition is being published, two IP-based production units are on the road (arguably the two most
capable production units on the planet): both Game Creek Video and NEP Broadcasting have embraced the use of IP-based routing infrastructures on new vehicles.
The move to IP-based routing was a gutsy one that took months of work, a leap of
faith, and solid relationships between clients and manufacturers. The benefits were
clear: a much more flexible signal infrastructure that would lay the groundwork for
bigger shows and even for future formats, such as UHD. But so were the risks: it had
never been done before, and the process of moving high-quality video signals using
IP packets can sometimes be fraught with packet loss, signal loss, and more.
But the gutsy call apparently paid off: all involved are happy with the increased
firepower an IP-based routing infrastructure provides. Game Creek Videos Encore
production unit, for example, allowed Fox Sports to do more than ever possible
within a regular three-production trailer configuration. And NEPs SSCBS unit is
on tap to handle what will arguably be the biggest single-event production next
year: Super Bowl 50.
The move to IP-based routing will take some practice for industry professionals, in particular the engineers at the helm in a mobile production unit. It requires
new ways to think about how signals and even the routing matrix itself are managed, and there is little doubt that, in the next year or two, EICs will have a better
understanding of what it takes to get the most out of an IP-based infrastructure.
Given that the move to IP-based routing is such a recent development, there is
some debate over just how commonplace it will become in the near future. Smaller
productions, for example, wont really benefit from the increased flexibility; a more
traditional HD-SDI router can handle the production needs. But the writing appears to be on the wall for production units built for larger sports events, and
productions will not only benefit most from the additional flexibility today but
also are most likely to be the first units to move to UHD tomorrow.
The question now is when will that tomorrow arrive? Major manufacturers of
cameras, production switchers, graphics, and other devices have already created
UHD-capable equipment, but the need to use four HD input or output channels
to handle one UHD signal greatly hampers the size and scope of a production.
The move to IP-based workflows will resolve those issues, but the challenge facing
manufacturers is the need for more-open workflows, which do not require a client
to be reliant on one manufacturer.
In the coming months and, arguably, years, making the transition from HD-SDI
to IP-based workflows will be a major focus of SVGs work, both editorially and at
events. And the transition will also, most likely, mean plenty of concurrent discussions and debates about the role an IP-based infrastructure will play in making
UHD productions attractive.
But until the equipment manufacturers and standards-setting bodies figure out
a way to ensure that fully IP-based workflows are as open to mixing and matching
equipment from different manufacturers as current HD-SDI workflows are, one
thing is certain: IP-based production tools will be left knocking at the door.

Carlisle: I believe the current state of the remote-production business is very healthy. However, change is
inevitable, and we need to be ready to adapt and transition to meet the needs of our clients. Corporate integration, rapid technological change, fragmented audiences, decreasing advertising revenues, and increasing
content-rights costs are conditions leading to increased pressure on production budgets.

Chase: With the addition of more sports networks to the market, the need for content is growing.
I am concerned that prices are getting
lower each year, but I am hopeful that it
will bottom out soon.

Farrell: The addition of all these different


tiers of work help the industry. A 53-ft.
truck has more opportunities today than it
did a few years ago. It can do a 15-camera
show and then a REMI show to fill in some
white space on the calendar the next day. To
me, that is a very healthy business.

Garvin: Yes, the business is reasonably


healthy, and I expect current trends to be
consistent for at least the next two years.
However, those trends include tremendous
downward pressure on pricing and increased
demand for new technologies in trucks.

Greene: Yes, I do. If you offer superior technology and sincere client-based

with the hardest-working team in the business, the supply of events needing remote-production
facilities is healthy. As for the forecast, we are inherently in a business that continues to evolve and shift. The
future looks good. The exact nature of what were doing and how were delivering the products may look
different, but we are forecasting growth and lots of it.

Lyon: Remote production is healthy. We are seeing more event coverage from both traditional and
non-traditional sources.

Orgera: Yes, though we have some concerns. F&F was fortunate to experience company growth this year
with the acquisition of Crosscreek. The industry is thriving in many areas, mainly in the number of events
that are being covered for broadcast and the dramatic growth in large streaming events. The additional acquired inventory has allowed F&F to service the growing needs of our clients. However, in that vein, we have
great concerns about the technology companies/vendors that provide equipment to the remote production
companies that allow us to service our clients; their business models have changed significantly, and the proposed restructuring and how they will provide services and equipment to remote vendors will be so costly
that it will cripple the industry and stagnate the remote companies abilities to grow at the rate our clients
need and require. It is a huge concern and one that we believe the entire industry should address.

Sullivan: The business is healthy. Demand is increasing, and the requirements for the larger productions continue to grow. I do not see that changing over the next 24 months.

Werteen: It depends on how you define healthy. If your goal is as it is at NEP to focus on serving clients and keeping happy employees, then the state of NEP is healthy. The industry has changed
dramatically over the last five years. If you define healthy as getting the same return you did five years
ago, then the industry is not as healthy. I do scratch my head about some deals where organizations
try to make themselves believe that unsound business deals somehow make sense. I have never been a
believer in loss leader pricing strategies; that is how you become unhealthy.

Executive Perspectives

Is there a specific technology (or technologies)


that clients are demanding more these days?
Johnson: Specialty cameras, support for bulk audio, and alternative
supply of produced media, such as C-Cast, Burst, and other published
deliveries. Also, home-based production control with links to remote
cameras and audio as means to produce live events (REMI).

Hoover: Refining and improving file-based workflow connectivity with home

base.

Snyder: Super-slow motion is still the most requested technology. A fiber kit
for announcers is a common technology we are frequently [deploying].

Farrell: 6X super-slow-mo is probably the biggest request right now.


Taubman: The Sony HDC-4300 is the killer app at the moment. Doing 8X slo-mo with 4300 is something that everyone wants to get their hands on. Also, acquisition is the key thing in anticipating the
move to 4K, and that will be a big tool to get there.

Have you seen increased interest in at-home


production, deploying minimal crew/facilities onsite?
If so, how are you adapting your facilities?
Taubman: As we put new big trucks on the road, we are not really changing our strategy. But we
have a bunch of clients who are approaching us about at-home production to get more of their content
on the air for cheaper. We are trying to help them explore that, and its definitely right in line with the
IP-production conversation. The transition to IP is the conversation for all of this from 4K at the top to
at-home production at the bottom.
Farrell: We get some requests, and we do some REMI events when it makes sense and there is open space
on the calendar. I think people are still figuring out the best way to do it and which events to do it on. Right
now, there isnt enough of it to grow a good business plan on. Also, the economics and ROI are so different
between those [smaller REMI] units and a 53-ft. truck.

Carlisle: Over the next 12-24 months, I believe, we are going to see a lot more at-home productions.
This format shift is becoming more attractive to broadcasters as it offers them the potential to cut
remote-production costs. We saw growth in REMI at-home

desired. We also supplied ESPN with Spring, a brand-new mobile with only audio, cameras, intercom, router, and distribution gear, which has been very busy every week.

Garvin: Yes, definitely. We welcome these and have assigned


several of our mobile units to serve them. Once the networks
have had enough experience with these to clearly define their
specifications long term, we will build mobile units specifically
for this purpose.

Lewis: This has been an explosive growth market for us.


It has grown from a single client to multiple clients and extended outside of college sports into professional leagues. To
facilitate it, we have launched four remote trucks specifically

Executive Perspectives

At-home Production continued from page 22


tions for a variety of clients. This coming year, we expect to undertake nearly 500 productions with
this methodology. Over the next 12-24 months, we expect to see a continued increase in demand for
at-homeproduction facilities and are focusing our expansion in this area.

Snyder: We have been quoting [at-homebased] jobs for the past year. From a volume perspective,
they are frequently quoted, but I can count on my hands the total true at-home productions that have
taken place from Lyon Video mobile units.

What impact do you believe recent industry


consolidation has had on the business? Do you think
this trend of consolidation will continue?
Carlisle: I do believe there will be another wave of consolidation. I believe there are still small mobile

companies one [unit] or two with owners who are ready to move on. The impact of consolidation
has been beneficial to Dome in that consolidation has led to opportunities as well as the ability to fulfill
capacity challenges with us buying CBC [Mobile Productions].

Chase: With the decrease in rates, it is hard for many companies to stay competitive. This has contributed to
the consolidation of many of the smaller mobile companies. I believe it has hurt the industry in the short run,
but I think it will make it stronger in the long run. I think we are getting close to the end of consolidation.
Farrell: Its inevitable that youre going to see consolidation, and some companies are going to acquire
others. It has the potential to hurt the client [since there arent] as many options, but the client still
has options at many different levels. I dont have a problem with [consolidation]. I think the smaller
companies give better customer service, but the larger companies may have more depth of trucks and
equipment to service a client. They both have their plusses and minuses.
Garvin: There might be a little more consolidation, but not much more. Its tough for smaller mobileunit companies to function in an environment where capital needs are so high and so recurrent.

Lyon: Consolidation of major mobile-unit companies at this point will be more difficult because of
the larger amounts of dollars involved.

Sullivan: Recent industry consolidation is not so recent. There has been consolidation since the

business started. I dont believe there has been a big impact here in the U.S.; Im not sure our European
friends feel the same way. There is not much more consolidation to be done here so we may be close to
the end of the trend.

Werteen: We, of course, have been the leader in consolidation, and I have seen the positive impact on
our organization. Injecting more smart people into a business can never be a bad thing. Its not always
easy: more people, more geographies demand greater understanding and communication. For NEP, the
benefits have far outweighed the risks: we have greater scale to service clients globally, we have more
resources to deploy intelligently, we have greater depth than any organization in our industry, keeping
us focused on our values. All benefits. Some say we have seen this type of consolidation previously. Not
from my seat. Not nearly the global reach or diversification the NEP Worldwide Network now has.

Outside of technological challenges, what are your


biggest concerns today?
Carlisle: Our biggest challenge lies in personnel, in maintaining good solid remote engineers who not
only have a wealth of experience but the willingness to have an open mind and embrace technological
change.

Executive Perspectives

Biggest Challenges continued from page 26


Chase: Travel cost is the biggest thing for us, even if the client is reimbursing us. If the cost keeps going up, it cuts into their budgets, and they look to cut shows or truck and crew cost.
Greene: Personnel. Our people and the conduit for providing and then training the next generation
are what keeps me up at night.

Hoover: As we transition away from big-iron technologies with long life cycles to more IT- and

consumer-based technologies with short life cycles, end-of-life issues are becoming a concern. In fairness to broadcast-equipment suppliers, they are not the culprit; its the chip and drive makers who are
constantly making improvements (good thing) and discontinuing availability of older parts as replacements (bad thing). Feature improvements [that] we as an industry request often necessitate more-complex software that wont run on older systems, forcing upgrades not unlike what happens with our
personal electronics at a very rapid pace.

Lewis: The life cycle of equipment is getting shorter as the speed of technology change increases. We
are acutely aware of the need to achieve a return on investment at a more rapid rate than in the past.
Moorhouse: Global political instability and its possible effects on global sporting events.
Orgera: Obviously, technology is changing by the minute which poses one of our biggest concerns.

Attracting, acquiring, and retaining great engineering talent to operate all of the technology is critical
and has always been a huge focus for F&F. A top priority is to find the right blend of seasoned engineers and growing the younger engineering talent that is needed to take the broadcasting industry into
the future.

Sullivan: The recent explosion in rights fees puts a great deal of pressure on containing production
costs. Some of that cost cutting can ultimately affect efficiency and the product we deliver.

Large-scale events, such as tennis grand slams and


golf majors, are dedicating more resources
to live-streaming feeds. Do you see this expanding
to more sports and events?

Carlisle: We see this trend more and more. As we provide facilities to an event large-scale or small
there always seems to be a request for additional equipment for live streaming or second screen. Dome has a fullservice rate card: mobiles, uplinks, and Web trailers. This past
year, we did a skiing event where we added uplink, on-screen
productions, and Webcast. Rogers NHL added EVS C-Cast for
GameCentre Live on all Saturday-night broadcasts.

Snyder: We have seen small events understand streaming


for several years. In fall 2012, Lyon Video provided mobile
facilities for Red Bulls Stratos coverage, which was planned to
only be streamed initially. At the last minute, Discovery came
in and put coverage on their linear channel. At the time of the
event, Stratos held the record for the most live streams of one
event. Streaming has been part of our business for many years,
and we have embraced the need for streaming requirements.

Moorhouse: Yes, I do, and, if anything, the second- and third-tier


events will make use of this type of technology more and more as a
cheaper way to get their events out to consumers. This is where IP techcontinued on page 34

nology will become a bigger player. It will allow us to deliver various flavors of signals to these different
platforms. As a company, we just need to ensure we are up to speed with these new technologies. To this
end, we have [dedicated] one of our top project engineers to investigating new technology.

How has the growth in the production of college


Olympic-sports events impacted your business? Have
you seen increased demand for trucks to service them?
Chase: Yes, this market is growing, but most of it is at the lower level of equipment. So there is a need
for small trucks in this market. This does help some because some of these sports are during football
and basketball season; there are only so many trucks [available] on any given day. With more shows at
any level, it creates a demand across the board.
Greene: What Im seeing is the need for even more content. Our partners are developing digital channels and pushing the content to as many outlets as technology and demand requires. Were being asked
to cover additional events that, maybe three to five years ago, we would not have had the opportunity
[to cover]. Some of the budgets and expectations for the final product may vary against an A-level primetime show, but [they are] no less important.

Lewis: Absolutely. In fact this is one of the staples of our business model. We will provide remote
facilities for literally hundreds of broadcasts of Olympic sports in this college season.

Sullivan: A lot of the Olympic college events are being streamed. It is the most efficient and costeffective way to do them, and demand will increase as the conference networks expand.

Are you planning for the potential rise of 4K? If so, how?
Can the current 3G infrastructure meet near-term 4K
needs? What about the long-term path for 4K?
Taubman: Yes, we are planning for 4K. A few years ago, we began installing a 3G infrastructure for 60p, which
may pay benefits for 4K. We are trying to understand how to best do a 4K show with quadlink 3G, and we are
prepared to do that now with a bunch of our trucks with [Grass Valley] K-Frame switchers, [EVS] XT3 replay,
and Sony HDC-4300 cameras. So we are starting to get all the pieces
in place. We built PeackcockOne for NBC with quadlink from all of
the camera sources a first for us. So that is a sign of things to come.
We are looking very carefully at IP and what is coming next. If 4K is
going to move forward, is it going to have to do so on a single link? It
appears that the path toward single-link will be IP.
Garvin: We are in the process of building our second 4K mobile
unit, 39 FLEX, which will expand on the technology in 38 FLEX and
be capable of a somewhat larger 4K production. The 3G [quadlink]
infrastructure is limited by the size of an SDI router you can
reasonably [install]. Long term, we would like to see the industry
agree on a compression standard for 4K using an IP router.

Mobile TV Groups 38 FLEX truck, launched in


2015, is among the first 4K capable mobile units
in the U.S.

Hoover: Currently, less than 3% of U.S. TVs have 4K capability. All our trucks built since 2011 are 4K-capable. The biggest limitation in 4K is creative restrictions imposed by the number of M/Es in switchers. Wireless, specialty cameras, and file size [are also limited]. The long-term path will depend on viewer demand.
Johnson: We have been working with 4K cameras and server technology to build on our knowledge.

Executive Perspectives

The Rise of 4K

continued from page 34

Over the next year, our owners [Rogers] are looking at producing over 150 4K sporting events, and I
believe this number will grow by the following year. The payload of 4K is imposing, and the delivery via
quadlink in a 3G infrastructure is serviceable. Over the longer term, many developing solutions based on
higher data links and infrastructure will enable a better transition to origination and distribution in 4K.

Snyder: 4K coverage with historic 3G infrastructure using current technology is not financially prudent
without recalibrating expectations of scale. Put simply, camera counts need to [be reduced] to bring
replay-server channels into a reasonable quantity. Until [production switchers] can deal with compressed
4K signals natively, networks are not going to give up the looks for more pixels. With the current mantra
being lower cost, 4K may or may not be around when technology catches up.

Moorhouse: I think the current 3G infrastructure meets the current 4K needs, but the future of 4K does lie
in some sort of IP solution. We cannot keep using quad 3G, [which] is simply too resource-hungry. 4K is coming,
but, at GHB, we are not going to spend a lot of money until we get past the first generation of 4K kit. We dont
want to be early adopters and get our fingers burnt when our investments become outdated too quickly.

How quickly are you moving away from baseband


infrastructure in favor of IP-based workflows? If you
were launching a truck today, would you build it around
an IP router or SDI router?
Taubman: The motivation for [installing an IP router] in Encore was never about IP for the sake of IP;
it was about capacity. IP turned out to be the way we could achieve the massive infrastructure that Fox
needed. We have been talking to clients about the next move in terms of our normal-size trucks. Today,
if we can do it with SDI, I think the answer is probably, yes, we would do SDI over IP. But Im not sure how
long I will be staying with that answer. The thing that is scary right now is, there are several versions of IP
that need to be settled in terms of standards and formats.

Hoover: The next two trucks we are building in the U.S. will have
IP routing in addition to IP file-based workflows. In Europe, we are
pioneering cloud-based live-production workflows. It is really a case
of what is best for the clients application. It is too early in the evolution of IP to say one size fits all, not until edge-device IP connectivity
is standardized and readily available on cameras, servers, graphics,
monitors, and test equipment.

Johnson: We have been on an IP infrastructure for our video

Game Creek Videos Encore mobile unit is among


the first to be built around an IP router.

services over managed fiber network for more than two years and
look forward to applying some of this technology in building the
next mobile unit around an IP router. The capabilities and features [of] an IP infrastructure make this choice
the preferred path, but some parts of the solution will benefit from a little more time to evolve.

Moorhouse: If we built a new truck now, we would consider an IP backbone. The problem is that this is
such a fast-changing technology that I would be worried that we would not get four to five years out of [it]
before it was surpassed by newer technology. The life cycle of the kit we buy has greatly reduced, and I think,
with IP-based kit, this will be even more evident. We need to get certain payback on our investments in technology to stay in business, and I think this is going to be a challenge in the near to medium term.
Werteen: We evaluate every maturing technology on multiple levels. We checked all the appropriate
boxes for IP workflow on the new unit we built for CBS in summer 2015, and it has been working as we
hoped. The mobile unit we built six months earlier for ESPN (EN2) has a baseband router primarily
because the technology was not robust enough at the time of design.

2015 was an extremely busy year for remote sports production in North America,
highlighted by a summer that included major multinational events like the FIFA
Womens World Cup and the Pan Am Games. Meanwhile, new rights agreements changed
the landscape: Fox Sports assembled a massive production for its first U.S. Open golf
championship, and ESPN took over as sole domestic-rights holder and host broadcaster at
the US Open tennis championships. Throw in annual behemoths like the College Football
Playoff National Championship Game, Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Game, NCAA Final
Four, and the MLB All-Star Game, and it all added up to be quite a year for the live-sportsproduction community on the road. Heres a look at some of the highlights.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME


AT&T STADIUM, ARLINGTON, TX

SPN brought back its ultra-robust Megacast this year at


the College Football Playoff National Championship Game,
a programming assault in which virtually every outlet of
the ESPN family offered a unique way of watching Ohio States
underdog victory over Oregon on Jan. 12.
I have been on Super Bowls, World Series, Olympics, said
ESPN Director of Remote Operations John LaChance during
preparations. This is by far the largest-magnitude event that Ive
had the privilege of overseeing.
ESPNs game-production crew working out of a loaded
compound housing eight Game Creek Video trucks (Spirit served
as the main game unit) deployed more than 40 cameras
and had approximately 60 camera sources at its disposal, given
all the shared resources used for Megacast and for in-stadium
entertainment at AT&T Stadium.
The traditional game coverage featured 11 hard Sony HDC2500 cameras, two cabled handheld 2500s, four RF 2500s,
three more 2500s serving as support cameras (jibs, clock/
score), six standard robotic units equipped with Sony P1
cameras, a Sony P1 Steadicam, and more. Aerially, viewers
saw angles from Spidercam, Flycam, and an airship above the
stadium.
ESPN also made a substantial 4K commitment to this years
coverage, with five hard Sony F55 cameras distributed around the
bowl and four I-MOVIX Phantom robotic units positioned at the

near and far sides on each goal line. On top of all of that, the main
game production had 10 camera sources in place to program the
Megacast, four AT&T Stadium in-house feeds for the venues
videoboard production, and inbound feeds from the Columbus,
OH, and Eugene, OR, campuses.

SUPER BOWL XLIX


UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX STADIUM, GLENDALE, AZ

t simply does not get any bigger than the Super Bowl, and,
this year, NBC Sports Group was tasked with producing what
would become the most-watched television program in U.S.
history. As is the case every year at the big game, Super Bowl XLIX
packed a technological wallop, with NBC, ESPN, NFL Network,
and others deploying massive operations and cutting-edge production tools at University of Phoenix Stadium and in downtown
Phoenix during Super Bowl Week.
Super Bowl XLIX marked the culmination of three years

of planning by the team at NBC Sports and its primary


production partner on the event, NEP. The game also
wrapped up a very busy week, during which NEPs ND6
production unit (along with SS16) was at the center of
operations from Super Bowl Central in downtown Phoenix.
Everything worked out because of the planning, said NEP
Technical Manager John Roch. The big issue was the field moving
in and out of the stadium, but, with a lot of preplanning, we were
able to build and get everything ready.
The operations team headed by Ken Goss, SVP,
remote operations and production planning, NBC
Sports; Tim DeKime, director of operations, NBC
Sports; and Roch showed its experience as well,
the game marking the teams third Super Bowl. NEPs
ND1, used all season for Sunday Night Football, served
as the main production unit. NBC also deployed Double
Eagle, NBCs golf truck; SS24 for the studio show and
tape release; and the ESU unit for transmission and to
tie all the trucks together. KK
NBC Sports stationed 45 cameras around University of
Phoenix Stadium.

NBA ALL-STAR GAME


MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AND BARCLAYS CENTER, NYC

he NBA All-Star Game took over New York for a weekend


in February with activities at both Madison Square Garden in Manhattan and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
There were plenty of new bells and whistles in the broadcast of
NBA All-Star Saturday from Brooklyn and the All-Star Game
Sunday night, but the two main events were only part of the
massive production puzzle that was NBA All-Star Weekend.
Operations in both Brooklyn and Manhattan covered more than
half a dozen events prior to the game itself.
Because of all the activities, we had to have dedicated crews for
both venues, said Tom Sahara, VP, operations and technology,
Turner Sports, during preparations. This is a great example of
cooperation and collaboration between Turner Sports and ESPN,
NBA TV, and NBA Entertainment just to make all the logistics work.
MSG was home to NEPs SS24 (A, B, and C units) for the game,
SS32 and ST32 for the studio show, ESU2 for transmission, and
TS1 (formerly Turner Studios truck) for entertainment/musicalacts operations at MSG. Bexels BBS1 was on hand with three
editing systems, and CP Communications truck handled RF

NCAA MEN S BASKETBALL FINAL FOUR
AND CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
LUCAS OIL STADIUM, INDIANAPOLIS

BS and Turner Sports continued to operate under a


shared-rights deal for the NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament. Shared production resources, facilities, sets, and
programming helped enable the massive technical and operations undertaking.
This partnership just continues to grow, and, each year, it
just gets better and better, said Sahara. These shows continue
to grow, and the level of integration gets deeper and deeper. This
is all one family.
A large crew and gear arsenal was deployed at Lucas Oil
Stadium and the surrounding areas, with more than 350
production personnel, close to 40 cameras, 12 production trucks,
two sets, and more. Specialty cameras included a custom-built,
robotic Rail Cam, Skycam, massive jib, and three Grass Valley
6X slo-mo cameras.
There were two truck compounds inside the stadium
housing units from F&F Productions, NEP Broadcasting, and
Bexel to handle the main game production and the two

team-specific TeamStream shows that aired on TNT, TBS,


and/or truTV parallel to the main game. The main game truck
was F&Fs GTX-17, the suppliers latest. A tangible sign of the
broadcasters increased unity was the introduction of an F&F
unit that offered their production teams one place where they
could collaboratively monitor all incoming and outbound feeds
a first for the production. BC

One of two studio sets at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis


was located at floor level and featured a large TechnoJib.

FIFA WOMEN S WORLD CUP
CANADA

54

he day Fox Sports captured the rights to FIFAs World Cup


events, it was clear that the network was committed to
making a splash with coverage of the FIFA Womens World
Cup Canada 2015. And that is exactly what it did in Vancouver,
with a media headquarters featuring a stunning 5,400-sq.-ft. set
and a massive 7,500-sq.-ft. operations area.
The set built at Jack Poole Plaza provided a broadcast home
that not only gave the production team and talent plenty of room
but also offered a dramatic backdrop of Vancouver Harbour and
the mountains from one side and an equally dramatic view of the
Olympic flame and downtown Vancouver from the other.
The overall footprint of the studio was 84 x 44 ft. and included
two 84-in. touchscreen monitors; 12 cameras, including a Super
Techno 50-ft. crane-cam that could retract at 7 ft. per second; a
drone capturing aerial shots in and around the set; a 21- x 11-ft.
LED screen; a three-sided ticker; and a soccer demonstration field.
You cant appreciate the size of this until you get here and
see it in person, said Kevin Callahan, director of technical
operations, Fox Sports. Open at both the front and back, the set
provided a degree of flexibility, in terms of different looks and
options for shooting, never seen before.

inside the nearby Vancouver Convention Centre packed with
equipment provided by VER. The facility housed production
offices, a central equipment room with EVS servers and a Grass

U.S. OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP


CHAMBERS BAY,
UNIVERSITY PLACE, WA

ox Sports coverage of the U.S. Open championship from


Chambers Bay Golf Course near Tacoma, WA, in July not only
was its debut at a major golf tournament but was also arguably the largest single-network golf production in history. Coverage
involved more than 500 technical-crew members, 100 production
staffers, 115 cameras on the course, and even more channels of
replay pumping through Game Creeks new Encore production unit.

Encore was key. Design innovations allow its three trailers


to expand to a larger size than previous vehicles. But, given the
number of camera sources (119) and replay channels (more
than 150) and the desire to have as many as possible on view in
the front bench, innovation in routing was needed. An Evertz
IP-based router is at the units core.
Noted Brad Cheney, director, technical operations, Fox Sports,
Nothing else comes close to the physical and technological size
of Encore.
Other Game Creek units were also on hand: Pride handled the
studio show, and Glory and Justice worked on the U.S. Open 360
stream as well as the featured-group and featured-hole streams.
The coverage deployed 118 cameras, including 20 RF cameras,
35 hard cameras, and a rail camera that provided a tracking shot
along a portion of the 18th fairway. Eleven audio mixers handled
signals from 202 microphones. And 29 EVS XT3 replay servers
provided more than 150 channels of recording. More than 61
miles of fiber cable with 24 strands each was laid.
The largest challenge, according to Cheney, was to add the
Protracer system to every hole: It added a substantial amount of
fiber to every green and tee, and CP Communications has been
great in providing that. KK

has access to 119 camera sources and 150-plus replay channels.

MLB ALL-STAR GAME


GREAT AMERICAN BALL PARK,
CINCINNATI

ox Sports busy summer of high-profile events continued


with the MLB All-Star Game. As it does every year for the
Midsummer Classic, Fox trotted out a few innovative production elements, headlined by a cinema-style MVI three-axis
gyro-stabilized handheld camera and a revamped version of Inertia Unlimiteds DirtCam at three infield positions. Game Creeks
FX trucks (A and B units) were on hand for the All-Star Game
production, with its Glory (A and B) handling the studio shows
throughout Monday and Tuesday. Game Creeks Edit 1 truck was
also on hand for Foxs features and postproduction team.
There are a lot of moving parts, but [MLB] Postseason
made us get to where we are, and now we know what to expect,
said Francisco Contreras, director, field operations, Fox Sports.
And, to be quite honest with you, its gotten kind of easier
because you have a great team in every department and weve
been building out a great operations team for baseball.
After torrential downpours and roaring thunder threatened
the Home Run Derby on Monday night, ESPNs production
went off without a hitch at Great American Ball Park in
Cincinnati. With a bit of cooperation from Mother Nature,

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2016

ESPN weathered torrential downpours earlier in the day to produce


its high-tech Home Run Derby telecast.

ESPN rolled out a massive show powered by its EN1 mobile


unit, featured 26 total cameras, the MLB debut of a 3g
Wireless CatcherCam, and three on-field sets for Baseball
Tonight and other on-air talent needs. MLB Network had
five mobile units and 31 cameras at Great American Ball
Park for its studio programming and to support MLBAM,
the world-feed production, and other MLB operations. Game
Creeks Pride A and B units handled studio shows and primary
transmission, its Apollo manned the red-carpet show, and
Dome Productions Atlantic and Unite produced the Futures

PAN AM GAMES
TORONTO

ith 41 countries participating in 36 sports (more


than at the 2012 Summer Olympics), producing a
world feed for the quadrennial Pan Am Games is
no easy feat. Host broadcaster CBC tapped Broadcast Services
International (BSI) to design, engineer, and build the technical facilities for the International Broadcast Centre (IBC), the
heart of the Pan Am Games production. BSI began design work
in 2013, working alongside the TO2015 Organizing Committee
to ensure that the needs of both host and unilateral broadcast-

ers would be met. In addition to host broadcaster CBC, the


IBC provides facilities for CBCs domestic coverage, ESPN
and ESPN Deportes, Claro Sports Mexico, Rede Record Brazil,
SporTV Brazil, TYC Argentina, TVN Chile, and ICRT Cuba, as
well as for a pool of additional broadcasters under the Pan Am
Sports Organization umbrella.
Domestically, CBC broadcast nearly 750 hours of coverage in
English and French, with another 650 hours of live-streaming
coverage on desktops and mobile app. As the Games host
broadcaster, CBC had the ultimate home-court advantage: its
network headquarters, located less than 2 miles away. And,
although host-broadcaster CBC leveraged its at-home editing
facilities to create the host feed, domestic-broadcaster CBC an
entirely separate operation redlined on its at-home control
rooms, studios, and staff to create a Pan Am Games show
tailored specifically for a Canadian audience.
Meanwhile, ESPN and ESPN Deportes worked side by side to
deliver the Games to English- and Spanish-speaking audiences
in the U.S. and abroad. The two networks were headquartered
in Corus Quay, a commercial office building on the Toronto
waterfront roughly 2 miles from the IBC. The building housed
three studio areas, while the production-control room lived at
the IBC. Karen Hogan

new era began at the US Open when ESPN took over as


host broadcaster and sole domestic-rights holder. The
broadcast compound, traditionally a carnival of interconnected trucks and trailers serving a variety of broadcasters,
became the embodiment of organization, thanks to ESPNs newly
built 13,500-sq-ft. two-story broadcast center and the streamlined
3,500-sq.-ft. administration-office trailer across the street.
The spick-and-span appearance was no accident. ESPN was
intent on building a flexible and scalable operation as it embarked
on its 11-year rights deal with the USTA, taking over as host
broadcaster and carrying every single point of the tournament on
ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3. The media giant tapped Gearhouse
Broadcast, which played a key role in its Australian Open buildout,
to serve as primary systems integrator.
You will hear this mantra from us a lot: expandable and
flexible, said ESPN Director of Remote Operations Terry Brady.
Instead of connecting multiple mobile units, we centralized the
operation under one roof. We looked at it as a great opportunity
for ESPN to step forward in this realm.
ESPN covered seven linear-TV courts with traditional manned
cameras and audio. Four other courts had Hawk-Eye SMART
coverage with automated cameras following the action. More

than 250 technicians, 32 engineers, and more than a dozen


operations staffers were on hand for ESPNs host, domestic, and
international operations.
The broadcast center had nine production-control rooms (seven
host, ESPN domestic, and ESPN International) on the second floor.

ment, video, ingest, media management,

GAME CREEK VIDEO


Encore Embraces IP; Peacock, Maverick Roll
By Ken Kerschbaumer

ame Creek Videos Encore ushered in a new era


of large-eventtruck design, offering not only a
massive physical footprint but also a massive bandwidth
infrastructure when it launched for Fox Sports in March.
However, that wasnt the only high-tech unit Game Creek
debuted in 2015: the two-trailer PeacockOne, which
debuted for NBCs NASCAR coverage, and Maverick,
which replaces Yankee Clipper in the companys fleet.
Equipped for large-scale productions, Encore is also
ready for next-generation production formats like 4K/
Ultra HD.
When we design a truck, we look to get eight years
out of it. We knew that a baseband-routing design would
not get us through the next eight years, even at 3 Gbps,
says Game Creek Video President Pat Sullivan. Also,
with monitoring demands for the U.S. Open topping
1,200 images, we knew we couldnt hit that number with
baseband routing. And we wanted a lot of headroom
[because] the shows grow; they dont contract.
The massive unit comprises three 53-ft. expando
trailers providing nearly 2,400 sq. ft. of production
space: 720 sq. ft. in the A unit, 905 sq. ft. in the B, and
675 sq. ft. in the C. The ceiling was built high so that the
expando pieces could nest together.
The thing I probably like the best is the ceiling
height, says Game Creek Video Engineering VP Paul
Bonar. But I also like that the graphics room or replay
areas in the B and C units can be back to back, front to
back, or even front to front and back to back at the same
time. Plus some of the benches have four different areas
that can be placed depending on the needs of the client.
Encores audio room is built around a Calrec Apollo
audio console.

The Encore front bench at the U.S. Open

The IP Infrastructure

lthough physical size is definitely newsworthy,


the real accomplishment is the move to an
uncompressed 10 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure,
thanks to an Evertz EXE video-service router, Magnum
SDVN controller, 570IPG high-density IP gateways, and
the 3067VIP10G 10GbE multiviewer system, which can
drive 140 displays and route up to 23 Tbps of data, or as
many as 6,900 uncompressed HD-SDI signals as well as
4K/Ultra HD services.
[This] has been a development project between
Evertz and Game Creek, says Mike Davies, SVP,
technical and field operations, Fox Sports. [At the]
U.S. Open, this facility eliminates trucks and, in the end,
reduces costs.
According to Jason Taubman, VP, design and new
technology, Game Creek Video, the move to IP routing
was necessary given the large monitoring needs for the
U.S. Open, and it was Evertz that stepped up and had
the pieces in place to do uncompressed routing over IP.
There has been plenty of discussion on the role of IP
technologies in the traditional broadcast environment,
which typically makes use of baseband routing for

GAME CREEK VIDEO


remote production. One key issue is whether a move to
an IP infrastructure will change the way a production
team and its engineers work. Both Game Creek and
Evertz have worked to make sure the answer to that
question is no.
Our goal was to have the router operate exactly like the
baseband routers in our other trucks, Taubman explains.
The audio router is the same, and the presentation of the
video router is the same, but, in the middle, there is IP
switching. No one working in the truck is aware of it; the
baseband patch field looks like it always did.
He notes that another goal was to avoid latency; Fox
wanted to cap monitoring latency at 1.5 frames. That
means a move away from encoding and decoding in
JPEG2000 and toward uncompressed IP encapsulation
and decapsulation so that images get through the Evertz
multiviewers and onto the Boland monitors below that
1.5-frame threshold.
The IP infrastructure does more than just solve
bandwidth and latency issues. It also creates a new
philosophy when it comes to how physical spaces
within a truck are managed. For example, the A unit
has space for 25 EVS XT3 servers, each handling up
to 12 channels. But, thanks to the 320-port cascaded
IHSE KVM switch connecting the A, B, and C units, an
EVS operator can conceivably sit down at nearly any
keyboard and monitor workspace within the truck and
immediately connect not only to the EVS network but
also to graphics engines. And the B unit is set to accept
24 graphics devices.
A production unit is about more than a router
and replay devices, and Encore delivers on that as
well. The audio area features a Calrec Apollo and a
secondary Hydra router useful for handling incoming
audio signals from, say, across the golf course.
We added a lot more MADI and video monitoring
in the audio area, says Taubman. We used to have
three monitors, but now it has seven monitors with nine
images in each.
Other innovative audio engineering is from DirectOut
Technologies. Game Creek sought an audio-monitoring
device that provided an interface with a knob for each of
16 channels of embedded audio on an EVS channel and
enabled monitoring of any of them. DirectOut created
the MADI-based M16, and 64 of the devices are located
throughout the three units.
The front-bench production area also has enhanced
monitoring. Each Boland 32- or 24-in. monitor can
handle nine or 12 images. A Grass Valley K-Frame
production switcher provides 9M/E and has the
firepower for big-time productions because mix effects
can be split off for submix duties.
MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2016

Encores massive replay area at the U.S. Open

Encore can also handle the massive camera


complement for a show like the U.S. Open. Two
identical, configurable video areas offer room for eight
camera shaders handling upwards of 40 Sony HDC2500 cameras with camera-control units wired to be
4K-ready. The trucks C unit has two edit rooms.

PeacockOne Follows NASCAR

eacockOne hit the road for NBCs NASCAR


coverage just two weeks after Encore rolled out.
NBCs decision to tap Game Creek was a departure: the
network historically has relied on NEP Broadcasting.
The opportunity presented itself, says Craig
Bernstein, director, technical remote operations, NBC
Sports. They have been great with the amount of
changes in the design we have done. Theyve been
exceptional in accommodating us.
For example, the original plan called for only one
Evertz router, but, with the choice of Sony HDC-4300
cameras units capable of high-frame rate or 4K all
the outputs from the cameras CCUs and BPUs (baseband
processing units) required the additional router.
We could do 4K tomorrow if we wanted to do it,
Bernstein adds.
According to Bonar, each router has 576x1,152
crosspoints, and the routers are linked via tie lines.
One of the Evertz VIP routers handles most of the
equipment; the second, all the monitoring needs.
The setup at our Encore unit for the U.S. Open was
the largest networked single production, but this is close
behind it, he says. And it could, conceivably, get bigger:
PeacockOne can accommodate 24 EVS XT3 servers.
Also on board is the EVS Xstore SAN storage device,
a first for a remote-production unit in the U.S., and
the entire facility is under the control of a Grass Valley
Kayenne production switcher.
PeacockOne comprises two units: PeacockOne
serves as the primary production, graphics, and
equipment area, and PeacockOneB handles replay and
audio.

PeacockOne has the same height treatment as

and teardown, vitally important to a production unit


constantly on the move.
This unit can be set up and torn down in less time
than it takes to set up the Encore B unit, Bonar notes.
Another feature with PeacockOne is that the distance
from the front bench in the main production area to the
main video wall is adjustable from 54 in. to 74 in.
This is one of my favorite control rooms because
of the high ceiling and it has lots of viewing angles,
explains Bonar. At the low point, the ceiling is higher
than in the original Fox trucks. There is also an air
chamber in front of the monitor wall that puts cold
air onto the monitor wall and then ducting behind the
monitor wall [takes] the exhaust out of the truck.
Other features in the main unit include tilting
monitors above the six camera-shading positions, a
move designed to make it easier for the operators to
properly shade and reduce neck strain. And the audio
room is larger than the one in Encore.
It has enough room to crawl under the console
and stand behind it, says Bonar. We could have put
the console further forward into the room, but then it
would have been like it was in a cave, and that would
cause problems with the sound in the room.
The PeacockOneB unit comprises two rooms and
has 11 modular replay-operator positions that allow
operators to slide left or right up to 18 in.
All the monitors are hinged, he adds, so that
they can swing out and we can easily get to the back of
the monitor. Weve never done the monitors that way
before, but we had limited space.
Tom Ginocchi, lead replay operator, NBC Sports,
says that, during NASCAR action, the replay-area team
covers everything on the track. This show is much

bigger than Football Night in America. Well be fullon with 10 replay operators handling the 51 cameras

RiverHawk Cloned

ame Creeks third remote-production unit,


Maverick, rolled out as a replacement for Yankee
Clipper, the venerable unit that debuted more than 10
years ago and is being given a refresh.
Maverick is a true clone of RiverHawk because we
needed another truck in the RiverHawk class, says
Taubman. The purpose is to have a double-expando
that does not need a B unit but is capable of having nine
EVS operators and 20 cameras. It is a workhorse truck,
and any of our engineers can run it.
The 53-ft. expandos working area measures 64 x 24
ft. Being a clone helped it hit the road quickly: it was
out the door in only eight weeks, two weeks less than a
usual integration.
Mavericks equipment includes a Grass Valley Kayenne
K-Frame production switcher with 4M/E and 96 inputs
and 48 outputs. An Evertz EQX router (396x684) and an
EMX audio router help tie the gear together, including
the EVS XT2 servers, the Calrec Artemis console, and a
ChyronHego Mosaic XL graphics system.
Ten Sony HDC-1500 cameras are aboard, with 11
Canon lenses (six are 75X) and camera support gear

from Vinten, Miller, and Matthews. Mics include


Sennheiser headsets and stick mics, EV stick mics,
Beyerdynamic shotgun mics, and Sony lavalieres. An
RTS ADAM intercom system and Motorola radios
ensure that everyone can keep in touch.
Besides Encore, PeacockOne, and Maverick, over the
past 18 months, the company rolled out Discovery, Robo
1 (for NASCARs robotic-camera ops), B3 (a flexible B
unit), Edit 1 (which replaced FXs C unit for Fox), and
Edit 2 (which debuted at the World Series for MLB).
Were going to take a little bit of a breather, says
Taubman. But we have lots lined up in the next couple
of years.

LeSEA PRODUCTIONS
HD S2 Targets
Sports Business
By Karen Hogan

eSEA Productions S2 truck fulfills the companys


need for an HD mobile production unit to attract
more sports clients. With its SD truck facing fewer
sports opportunities, the time was right for the
company to make the leap into high definition.
We have had, and still do have, a standard-definition
truck, and our business with that truck especially in
the world of sports has been declining, says Dave
Musser, video production sales, LeSEA Productions.
In fact, in most of 2014, the only sports network that
[took] our SD truck was ESPN3 for streaming purposes.
Essentially, it seemed that the demand [for HD] is
only getting stronger with more Olympic sports being
covered, and thats the reason we went for it.
The 40-ft. expando, designed and integrated by
Gerling & Associates, is particularly suited to sports
events where space is at a premium.
This truck is perfect for studio remote mainly because
its got a smaller footprint than a 53-ft. truck, explains
Dennis Dozier, engineer in charge for S2. You can get it
in a lot of places that a large expando wouldnt fit.
S2 features a 4.5M/E Grass Valley Kayenne switcher,
Kaleido-X multiviewer 142x134, and NVision router
with integrated AES audio; EVS LSM XT sevenchannel and four-channel replay servers, four-channel
SpotBox with Lance TDC 100 controller, and XFile
3; ChyronHego Mosaic; and Calrec Artemis Light 40
mixing console with full 5.1-surround capabilities.
The on-board gear, provided by AVI Systems, is all
interconnected via IP.
For the South Bend, IN-based LeSEA Productions
S2s Calrec Artemis Light 40 mixing console

S2 is LeSEA Productions first HD mobile unit.

team (a division of LeSEA Broadcasting), the


sophistication of the router in S2 particularly stands out.
Because its [integrated with] AES, you get a lot of
strength out of one cable, Dozier explains. You can
get 16 channels of audio down four wires embedded
inside that signal. You take the audio and marry
it to the video source, so you have one cable that
has everything:your high-definition video, your four
channels of audio. It makes for an easy installation:
less cables, less weight, and greater flexibility.
In addition, the truck also housesa 64-port ADAM
digital-matrix intercom, 12 powered RTS two-wire
intercom channels and eight-channel IFB system,
five AJA FS2 dual-frame sync/crossconverters, and an
80-display monitor wall. S2 can seat up to 15 people.
And, with wiring for up to eight cameras, S2 comes
equipped with six Grass Valley LDX WorldCam
cameras that can be configured for 1080i, 720p, or
1080p production. The company has three Fujinon
77X lenses with stabilizer and three 22X lenses.
LeSEA began the process of building S2 by meeting
with technology vendors at NAB 2014; construction
commenced in late December 2014. Having completed
the commissioning process in July 2015, LeSEA
traveled S2 to Indianapolis and Chicago for show
and tells prior to bringing the truck online in August
2015.
Said Dozier before S2 hit the road, We just want to
run it through all of its paces again, and were doing
that several times before we release the truck.

MOBILE TV GROUP
38 FLEX Unleashes the Power of 6X Slo-Mo
By Jason Dachman

ox Sports Southwest has entered the age of largescale 6X slo-mo replay with the launch of its Mobile
TV Group 38 FLEX mobile unit. The two-trailer dualfeed production unit is the first of MTVGs new fleet
of FLEX mobile units, which deploy up to six 6X
slow-motion camera systems and can also serve full-4K
productions. Fox Sports Southwest has rolled out 38
FLEX in the Dallas-San Antonio market in 6X slo-mo
mode, with six Grass Valley LDX 86 cameras, the most
ever for an RSN production.
After beingpreviewed at NAB 2015 in April, 38 FLEX
launched in August for Texas Rangers baseball and
had an immediate impact on telecast and MLB replayreview operations.
The very first night that we had the truck, we had
three replays overturned in the game, and I can tell
you it was the direct result of having super-slo-mo
capability, says Fox Sports Southwest Senior Executive
Producer Mike Anastassiou. The clarity of the replays
is so definitive that there is really no question, which
simply wasnt the case with an HD camera. So it was
transformational for us the very first night out.
With the Rangers regular season over, 38 FLEX will
serve as home truck for NBA Mavericks and NHL Stars
games and will alsowork NBA Oklahoma City Thunder
and San Antonio Spurs dates until returning to baseball
in the spring.
Everyone gets to use all six super-slo-mo cameras
for every game; you dont usually have that many
super-slo-mos even on a national A game, says Mobile
TV Group President/founder Philip Garvin. They are
38 FLEX is MTVGs first 4K-capable mobile unit.

38 FLEX features a 105-display monitor wall.

getting upwards of three super-slo-mo angles on any


critical play, so it ends up really being a game-changer.
In addition to the six LDX 86 6X slo-mo cameras, 38
FLEX carries five LDX Premier HD cameras all with
Canon lenses (one 95X long lens, eight 72X long lenses,
one 10 x 4.5 wide-angle lens, and three 17 x 7.6 HH ENG
lenses). For Rangers baseball, the LDX 86s are located at
tight center field, low first, low third, shooting down the
first-base line, right field, and high third.
Though originally set to launch with Grass Valley K2
Dyno replay systems, 38 FLEX has four of EVSs new
12-channel XT3 replay servers (16-channel embedded
audio). Debuting over the summer, these servers
provided an optimal server for the LDX 6X slo-mo
cameras, which require three replay channels apiece.
EVSs new 12-channel replay units made it possible
to put two 6X cameras and two regular cameras on one
system, which basically gave you four-in and two-out,
says Garvin. That is just like a six-channel EVS, which
is the industry standard, but two are super-slo-mo.
We went with EVS [replay systems], he continues,
not because there is anything wrong with K2 [Dynos];

we were very pleased with how that was developing.
But, in terms of workflow for a regional sports network,
where they do only half their games on this truck and
half the games on road, they [had]a workflow problem.
If the truck was all K2 Dyno, they would need to modify
the files to work on EVS when they went to a non-Dyno
truck, which is almost all other trucks, and then they
would have had to modify [them] to come back. Once
it became apparent that this truck would focus more on
super-slo-mo than on 4K, we decided to go with EVS.
With up to six replay-operator positions (and one
tech-manager slot), 38 FLEX also features a fourchannel EVS XT3 replay-only server, a four-channel
EVS XS server for SpotBox (two channels per show on
duals), and XFile3 software.
Anastassiou adds, The XT3s and the XFile3 with
their new version of software make beautiful music
together. Its a marriage made in heaven in that its
flexible, its powerful, its transparent, and you can
easily record files in any format that you choose.
Built around a Grass Valley Kayenne K-Frame
switcher (7M/E, 96 inputs/48 outputs in HD, 40
inputs/12 outputs in 4K), 38 FLEX features a Calrec
Artemis Beam audio mixer with 56 faders (256 routable
inputs via MADI, 64 analog inputs), ChyronHego
HyperX2 graphics, a Grass Valley NVision 3G/4K router
(77x862), a Grass Valley NVision audio router
(9,216x18,432), a 105-displaymonitor wall, and an RTS
ADAM 96-port matrix system and Studio Technologies
IFB system for comms.
38 VMU, the companion trailer housing the visitor
show, has full access to all six super-slo-mo cameras
via its three EVS-operator positions. In addition, the
visiting show has directorial control over at least one
(and sometimes two) 6X slo-mo camera on every show.
Three switcher M/Es are assigned to 38 VMU, which also
features a Studer Vista 1 audio console (50 mono channels,
38 stereo channels), a seven-rack monitor wall with 58
displays, and ChyronHego HyperX3 HD graphics.
Garvin believes 38 FLEX sets a new standard: I dont
see us launching trucks in the future that dont have
at least six super-slo-mos. I truly think a substantial
complement of super-slo-mo cameras should be
absolutely standard for a pro sports event.
Anastassiou seconds that notion: I do think that
this truck is probably going to be a prototype for
regional trucks.
38 FLEX remains a 4K-capable truck (as demonstrated
at NAB 2015), with the ability to deploy eight 4K
cameras with eight records. According to Garvin, 39
FLEX, set to launch next year, will be capable of
handling 12 4K cameras. However, 38 FLEX will focus

MTVGs 38FLEX is built around a Grass Valley Kayenne


K-Frame switcher.

on HD 6X slo-mo production until the market for live


4K production heats up.
38 FLEX continues MTVGs migration from a singletruck, dual-feed production model to a two-trailer
model that provides enough space and technological
firepower for both the home and visitor production
teams. Last spring, MTVG launched 37HDX and 37VM,
its fifth two-trailer dual-feed system in three years.
Serving Fox Sports Detroit primarily, 37HDX and
VMU carry core gear similar to MTVGs first four twotrailer, dual-feed units: notably, a Grass Valley Kayenne
K-Frame HD switcher, which provides the home show
with 4M/E and a four-stripe control panel and the
visitor show with 3M/E and a three-stripe panel (a total
96 inputs and 48 outputs). 37VMU is fully networked to
the A unit with extensive fiber connectivity, making all
cameras and record trains and the RTS intercom system
available to both trailers.
37HDX carries nine Grass Valley LDX digital triax
cameras with Canon lenses and Vinten Vector P/T
heads, an LDK 6000 booth camera, and two LDX
ExtremeSpeed 6X super-slo-mo systems.
On the replay side, it has three six-channel EVS XT3
full-editing replay servers (4 in, 2 out) and two fourchannel EVS XT3 RO units (2 in, 2 out), and a fourchannel EVS SpotBox with lance control (two channels per
show on duals). 37VMU has two EVS-operator positions.
In addition, an eight-channel Grass Valley K2 Dyno replay
system handles the 6X super-slo-mo cameras.
Other key gear aboard 37HDX includes a 105-monitor
wall with Grass Valleys Kaleido-X multiviewer system,
Evertz video router (216x538) and Evertz EMR audio
router (96 analog, 48 AES pairs, 18 64-channel MADI

NEP BROADCASTING
SSCBS, EN2 Offer Next-Gen Tech
By Ken Kerschbaumer

EP Broadcasting rolled out two of the industrys largest


and most technologically robust production units this
year: SSCBS and EN2.
CBS Sports and NEP officially entered the era of IP-based
routing with the four-trailer SSCBS, which debuted in August
at the Wyndham Championship. It is serving as CBSs
production unit for golf coverage and for Thursday Night
Football and Super Bowl 50.
There are a lot of cool things about the unit, says Joe
Signorino, VP, systems integration, NEP. But it is the Evertz
IP routing system that brings an interesting amount of
flexibility and scalability. Its a pretty serious routing system.
The use of IP routing future-proofs the unit in a number of
ways. The unit is capable of handling 4K signals. In addition,
over the next year or two, a wide variety of production tools
are expected to make the move to IP.
The unit comprises three double-expanding 53-ft. trailers.
The A unit has a 15- x 21-ft. production area and a 15- x 18-ft.
graphics area (each with 12 positions). At its core is a Grass Valley
Kayenne Elite production switcher with 192 inputs and 9M/E.
The A unit has an NFL configuration and a golf
configuration, notes Signorino, but CBS can do whatever they
want, as the consoles and components can [be moved] around.
Besides the engineering and video area, the B unit houses
the main audio room (15 x 8 ft.) and the audio-submix
room (10 x 10 ft.), each with three operator positions. Key
equipment in the main audio room is a Calrec Apollo console
with 72 facers and Bluefin2 signal processing to provide 1,020
channels; in the submix room is a Calrec Artemis console
with Bluefin and 64 faders. DaySequerra upmix, downmix,
loudness-meter, and stereo-synthesizer gear is also in place
alongside B&W surround-sound speakers and an RTW digital
audio scope. A mix of Shure, Sennheiser, Sony, and AudioTechnica mics are also aboard.
Sound isolation was a major concern with the two audio
areas next to each other and also near the central equipment
room. NEP hired an acoustic-engineering group to eliminate
chassis-born vibrations from the audio room, with the use of
floating floors and acoustically tuned isolators. Dense rubber
absorbs additional noise, and the air-conditioning duct was
modified to tailor airflow.
The B unit posed another major challenge: how to handle
heat load from systems that are increasingly the equivalent
of massive computer-server rooms. And then there was
the 80,000-lb. legal weight limit. Adding air-conditioning

to deal with the heat meant more AC weight, requiring


some of the heat-generating gear to be removed to meet the
weight restriction, which, in turn, lowered the need for airconditioning.
We have 45 kW of tech power in the B unit so it needs some
serious air-conditioning, Signorino points out. We modified

the design so the high heat load is in the front of the truck.
According to Glen Levine, president, U.S. Mobile Units,
NEP, that modification was first used three years ago in the
EN1 unit. Putting much of the heat-generation equipment in
one trailer not only helped keep the other units cooler but also
reduced the number and length of interconnects.
The EN1, ND1, and SSCBS trailers have all been collaborations
with the networks, he points out. Our design teams were
pushed by those individual clients so each trailer gets a little bit
different. Were very open-minded on new ideas.
The C unit also reflects design changes. Housing a 15- x
27-ft. replay area and as many as 18 EVS operators, it has
two 12-channel XT3 units, four eight-channel XT3 units, a
six-channel XT3 SpotBox, and five XHub3 sharing networks.
Flex space within the trailer allows personnel to handle
transmission, editing, or virtual-graphics and other systems.
[SSCBS] also has IP and Cisco connectivity to the B unit
[home to the EVS XT3 servers], says Signorino. There is also
a Thinklogical KVM [keyboard, video, mouse] system with 320
ports and support for 6.5 Gbps.
The non-expanding D trailer can be used for overflow EVS
operators (as many as 25 operators can work on a production)
as well as additional edit and voiceover facilities.
Another important innovation is that the facility is IP all
the way out to remote locations. Dante audio combining
software, hardware, and network protocols to deliver
uncompressed, multichannel, low-latency audio over a standard
Ethernet network and the Thinklogical KVM system provide
flexibility, delivering uncompressed, high-resolution video,
audio, and peripheral data on a single stream over a single
duplex fiber or single Cat x cable. SSCBS is also the first mobile
unit to use the RTS Omneo intercom, allowing the entire
intercom system to be networked even from remote towers,
booths, or other trailers without the need for DT12 cabling.
Clients can expect IP to be a part of future production units.
Without coaxing, we probably [would have] waited for the
technology to get a little more mature before we jumped off
the cliff, says Signorino. But it is working well, and we feel
comfortable with it.
Adds Levine, No one knows what the future brings, but we
do know that IP-based production is down the road and that
other equipment will show up with IP connectivity.
In addition to SSCBS, NEP launched EN2 in April for
ESPNs Sunday Night Baseball coverage. It marked the first
time in a decade that the program had new facilities, and it
was the result of collaborative work between NEP and ESPN.
Its a massive leap forward in terms of technology,
and it has all the latest tools, like a Grass Valley Kayenne
Elite production switcher, says Chris Calcinari, VP, remote
operations, ESPN. Its really a pretty substantial leap.

110

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2016

NEPs EN2 served as home to ESPNs Sunday Night


Baseball this season.

The truck can handle up to 20 cameras and has eight eightchannel EVS XT3 replay servers and a 10-Gbps backbone,
making it ready for 1080p.
According to NEP Co-President Mike Werteen, the ESPN
Sunday Night Baseball truck was arguably one of the toughest
to design: MLB scheduling pretty much guarantees that, on
the day before Sunday Night Baseball, a Saturday game is
broadcast from the stadium by at least one regional network
and, possibly, Fox Sports. We are in the compound with
other trucks that are doing the regional broadcast on our set
day. So we need to stay in a smaller footprint.
That small footprint doesnt mean tight quarters. Brady
says the audio room in the A unit has plenty of space for a
large Calrec Apollo audio console. And the main production
area is laid out sideways, providing plenty of bench space. The
front wall features 32-in. monitors and eight 20-in. monitors,
giving the team the ability to pipe nearly 180 images into the
main wall. And the video area, which features room for four
operators, is also spacious.
In the B unit, the large replay area has an open floor with
operators sitting back to back, a layout that Werteen says
improves communication. There is also an edit room and an
audio-submix room.
There is perhaps no better sign of just how well EN2 has
been designed than that the ESPN Deportes production team
is able to operate out of the B unit, thanks to a small Grass
Valley 110 production switcher.
The EN2 unit, like many of NEPs recent projects, reflects
a transitional point in remote production: software-based
equipment and fiber connections are playing a much larger
role than even a few years ago. Coaxial cable still has
a presence, but the amount of fiber and KVM routing
has increased significantly and allows operators to move
to different positions in the unit and work from nearly
anywhere.

PROSHOW BROADCAST
New Opus Truck Targets At-Home Production
By Jason Dachman

ith at-home production skyrocketing, Proshow Broad


cast has been leading the way, catering to the likes of
Pac-12 Networks and ESPN in their efforts to deploy minimal
resources onsite and integrate the telecast in a control room at
the broadcast center back home. After rolling out a trio of
24-ft. HD Mercedes Sprinter vans (Solo, Trouper, and Busker)
over the past couple of years, Proshow has launched a 27-ft.
truck that increases both the equipment complement and the
footprint for at-home production.
This was really about the at-homeproduction market
and where we see it going, says Proshow Broadcast President
Tim Lewis. We have found ourselves at the forefront of
[at-home production] with our Sprinters, but we always knew
we would have to be prepared to take it to the next level. We
have clients that are pushing the boundaries of at-home and
want more cameras, lensing, and cable. So we set out to create
the next-generation [at-home mobile unit] with the same
operational concept and layout of our Sprinter and just put
it on steroids.
Dubbed Opus, the 27-footer builds on the knowledge taken
from the companys previous three Sprinter vans but scales
up the footprint (24-ft. to 27-ft. body), weight capacity (from
11,000 lb. to 26,000 lb.), and equipment offerings (standard
complement up from four to six cameras and six hard lenses).
The Gerling Nomad Series trailer (on a Peterbilt chassis)
rolls with six Sony HSC-300R HD triax cameras (wired
for eight) with Canon lenses, a Blackmagic ATEM 2M/E
16-input switcher, a Blackmagic 72x72 HD-SDI/fiber router,
Yamaha QL-5 32-fader digital console with Dante, and an RTS
ADAM-M intercom system with RVON and Dante/Omnio.
There is no replay or graphics infrastructure because these
operations take place at the central control room at home.
There are more accessories and equipment to make for
a potent package on the road, says Lewis. It does have an
audio board and small switcher, so it has enough versatility to
do a very small standalone production for entertainment or
news, but that is a secondary usage. It is designed specifically
as a truck to support at-home production.
Opus also boasts a more robust audio component than
the Sprinter vans, including a much larger audio board and
increased use of Dante audio-over-IP infrastructure for field
audio, booth kits, and intercoms.
We are using this truck as a test bed over the next year for
newer technologies on the audio side, says Lewis, so we have
built a fiber kit and are looking to roll a lot more of the booth
and field audio connectivity away from DT12 and onto fiber.

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2016

ProShows 27-foot Opus was built specifically for at-home


production shows.

Although capable of serving as a traditional mobile unit for


smaller shows, the unit was specifically designed and built to
serve at-home production for sports. Upon launch, it began
serving Los Angeles RSNs Time Warner Cable SportsNet
and Deportes on MLS Galaxy and WNBA Sparks away
shows. TWC deployed Proshow Sprinter vans throughout the
summer to produce Galaxy road games, using a production
model in which camera/audio feeds were sent to a control
room at TWCs broadcast center in El Segundo, CA. However,
with the Sprinter vans committed to Pac-12 and ESPN college
productions in the fall, TWC turned to Opus for its Galaxy and
Sparks road productions.
We have been doing Galaxy [games for TWC] out of our
Sprinters, which worked well, says Lewis, but it maxed out
every single input and output. We have now moved them onto
this new truck very successfully.
Proshow plans to roll out another two trucks based on
the Opus design in the next calendar year to accommodate
increasing use of at-home production.
We certainly see this [at-homeproduction market] is
growing, Lewis says. Clients have had great success in that
they have been pleased with the quality of production they
can deliver while reducing some of their costs especially
around travel. That is proving to be a winning formula, so it
seems inevitable to me that it will continue to expand.

2015: A Year of Consolidation

By Jason Dachman, Editor

ith the launch of massive next-generation trucks like


Game Creek Videos Encore and PeacockOne, MTVGs
38 FLEX, and NEPs SSCBS and EN2, 2015 marked a year of
transition for the industry. It isnt just new trucks, however,
that changed the face of the market over the past year.
The mobile-production business finds itself in a period
of consolidation, with a flurry of mergers and acquisitions
taking the industry by storm over the past year. Although this
is nothing new NEP Broadcasting and others have been
buying up smaller mobile-unit providers for several years
2015 seemed to take the trend a step further.
In June, F&F Productions finalized its acquisition of
Crosscreek Televisions HD Mobile Unit assets, including
four HD mobile production units and the engineering and
support staff. The move made F&F Productions the largest
facilities provider based in the Southeast and boosted its
GTX fleet to a total of 10 trucks.
Also in June, Dome Productions bought CBC/RadioCanadas mobile assets: three HD production units, three
support units, and all associated assets. The deal made Dome
the sole rental supplier of mobile TV-production facilities for
both CBC and Radio-Canada in the future. The announcement
came less than two years after Dome acquired CAMERON
PACE Groups quartet of 3D mobile units and converted them
to 2D HD production trucks following the live-3D-production

bust. Domes fleet is now the fourth-largest in North America,


trailing only NEP, Mobile TV Group, and Game Creek Video.
With an eye on the growing market beyond sports
entertainment shows, concerts, music festivals Live Media
Group Holdings launched Live Mobile Group in August with
the acquisition of Sure Shot Teleproductions and TL Mobile
Television. With the goal of becoming the largest resource
for midsize trucks in the U.S., Live Mobile Group now
operates Sure Shots 10 vehicles (notably, six HD combination
production/transmission units) and TL Mobiles 51-ft. HD
expando unit.
These deals follow NEP Broadcastings acquisition of
more than 10 companies in the past three years, including
European-based Outside Broadcast, RecordLab, and The
Screen Scene Group in 2015.
And then there is the growth of Alliance Productions,
which has added four companies this year alone Kodiak
Mobile, TL Mobile, CMG Mobile Productions, and Raycom
Sports with more growth expected.
Add in a handful of smaller deals, such as Mobile Production
Studios (MPS) acquisition of a pair of trucks from Token Creek
Mobile Television, and its not hard to see how consolidation in
the mobile-production industry has marked 2015.
With the mobile-production business booming as 2016
approaches, this trend isnt likely to end anytime soon, as the
industrys biggest players look to grow and smaller outfits
look to safeguard themselves by joining forces.

Filmwerks returned for its 17th consecutive year at the US Open,


providing power and set-design support for the final tennis major
of the year, and this might have been the companys largestimpact performance to date. There are two pillars to Filmwerks
presence: power and climate control for ESPN in the broadcast
compound and the design and installation of sets throughout the
USTAs Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
On the power front, Filmwerks deployed 27 uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) systems, with the result that the new broadcast
compound didnt use a single ounce of diesel fuel for the entire event,
including the two-month run-up. Filmwerks power grid is essentially a triple-redundant system with automatic transfer switches,
using in-venue power, the UPSs, and two large generators.
In addition, Filmwerks spent the past year working with the
USTA to completely redesign all eight of the sets scattered around
the Tennis Center.

majors, given its role at the Australian Open. For more than a
decade, it has provided the technical backbone for that event.
Using the Australian Open as a template for the project,
Gearhouse Broadcast changed the very nature of the technical
facilities behind Arthur Ashe Stadium. For the 2015 tournament,
the facility was enclosed within a two-story structure whose lower
floor featured a massive Central Apparatus Room that housed

With elaborate productions that harness
innovative graphics and technology from
Burbank, CA-based broadcast-solutions provider Reality Check Systems (RCS), the entity is redefining how
fans watch boxing on TV and in-arena.

simplify graphics operation for the world-broadcast feed of each
match, which is distributed to international channels. The systems allow PBC to easily deploy graphics and transition between
them to craft more-compelling stories for fans throughout the
broadcasts; RCS also designed the systems so that the host broadcasters can use the world-feed graphics workflow as needed, with
a smaller footprint. To develop the setup, RCS wrote proprietary
software that allows PBCs production hardware to communicate
with that of each host broadcaster.
RCS developed a solution for PBC-approved broadcasters airing graphics built by RCS and compatible with a custom timecode
server and round/clock application also created by the RCS team.

The standards stay, but innovation never ends.


Going strong, V3 software for the popular
CL and QL Series features a variety of
upgrades making our family of digital mixing
consoles more efficient than ever.
This next step up includes an 8-band Parametric
EQ Option with Notch Filters, Real Time Analyzer
Function, 4 User Defined Key Banks, Surround Sound
Panning and Monitoring and so much more.
Perhaps most notable is the addition of the
Dan Dugan Automatic Mic Mixer for the CL Series.
Already included in the QL Series, gain distribution
for up to 16 speech microphone channels is
automatically optimized in real time, achieving
smooth, natural level control.
What could be smarter than that?
For a complete list of features and to download the
software free-of-charge, visit www.yamahaca.com.

AND WE SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD.

he 10th annual SVG Gearbase Survey provides an ongoing database of production-truck technology for the North American
fleet of more than 240 broadcast vehicles. The 2015 Gearbase comprises 248 total mobile units, only 13 of which are SD. With
SD all but gone, HD flourishing, and 4K and IP-based tools on the way, truck vendors find themselves at an interesting crossroads.
This years Gearbase Survey drew more participating companies than ever before 37 in all and includes more than a
dozen mobile units that debuted over the past 12 months. Here is a brief summary of the Gearbase Surveys key findings in the
HD-truck market. On the following pages is a listing of the trucks and specs (based on October 2015 data collected from participating companies):
NEP has by far the largest fleet in North America with 63 trucks
boosted by several recent acquisitions. Mobile TV Group is
second with 25 mobile units, followed by Game Creek Video
(21), Dome Productions (18), Lyon Video (11), F&F Productions
(10), Live Media Group (9), and All Mobile Video (7). Turn to
page 18 for Total Trucks by Company graphic.
Of the 221 HD trucks whose camera complement was identified
by brand, 118 use Sony (53.4%), followed by Grass Valley with
72 (32.6%), Ikegami with 22 (10%), and Hitachi with 10 (4.5%).
The battle for lens-market share continues as a two-horse
race: 122 HD trucks carry Canon lenses exclusively in 2015
(56%), 69 have Fujinon exclusively (31.7%), and 24 trucks lens
complement is a mix of Canon and Fujinon lenses (11%).
Among HD switchers, Grass Valley continues to dominate, with
its units found at the center of 187 HD mobile units (77.6%). Sony
and Ross Video switchers are in 19 trucks apiece (7.9% each).
Eight trucks carry FOR-A switchers (3.3%); five trucks, Blackmagic Design switchers (2.1%).
The video-router sector continues to be diverse, led by Grass
Valley in 70 trucks (35.7%), followed by Evertz with 40 (20.4%),
PESA with 33 (16.8%), Utah Scientific with 15 (7.7%), and Sony

with eight (4.1%). Blackmagic Design, Leitch, and Imagine


Communications video routers appear in seven trucks each
(3.6% apiece), followed by Ross Video with six (3.1%).
ChyronHego remains the market leader in HD graphics, with
its systems in nearly 90% of trucks on the road (148 of the 165
trucks that specified a graphics system). Vizrt and Ross Video
systems are installed in eight trucks apiece (4.8% each).
In HD replay devices, EVS is once again the undisputed
industry standard, with 184 HD trucks reporting some form
of EVS system as its primary replay device (95.8% of HD
trucks that specified a replay system). Currently, 22 trucks
carry Grass Valley K2 Dyno replay systems, although 20 of
those trucks also have EVS replay systems. NewTek (four HD
trucks), Abekas (three), and Tightrope (two) also appear in the
Gearbases replay numbers for 2015.
Calrec Audio remains the number-one audio console represented on HD trucks, with 144 consoles in 63.7% of the HD trucks;
Yamaha is second with consoles in 26 audio rooms (11.5%),
followed by Avid/Euphonix (14), Soundcraft Expression (11),
DiGiCo (nine), Studer (eight), Mackie (five), and SSL (three).

Kaufman Broadcast was started with a satellite dish and a vision.


For more than 30 years, we have lived that vision: Super Bowls, Stanley
Cups, Final Fours and All Star Games. We have worked alongside
rookies and Hall of Famers. We have seen triumphs and tragedies
unfold without ever having a seat. We have made visions reality.
We can capture your vision too.

MOBILE SPORTS PRODUCTION YEARBOOK 2016

The sports-television industry is a family of talent,


creatives, techs, and crew who depend on each
other in the studio and the field and now, with the
SVG Sports Broadcasting Fund, at home. In a
business underpinned by a freelance workforce, it
is especially important that we develop a process
for helping out our peers and their families when
they are struck by serious misfortune.
Ken Aagaard,
SVG Broadcasting Fund Advisory Board
chairman
