Live Media⁢ Group Holdings Expands REMI Capabilities with New Production Control Room

Live Media Group Holdings (LMGH), a ‍leading provider of⁢ HD and 4K production trucks, ⁤technical expertise,⁢ and control ⁤rooms, has established a new ​production control ​room ⁣at TNDV’s Nashville​ headquarters. This state-of-the-art facility⁣ is designed⁢ for REMI (Remotely Moved Integration) workflows, enabling remote high-resolution ​video capture ⁤and centralized production.

The⁢ new control room is part of LMGH’s efforts to meet the growing demand for ‌REMI solutions, which⁢ has increased⁣ significantly during the ⁣pandemic. By integrating advanced technology ⁤and ensuring strong connectivity, LMGH aims to provide high-quality, ​low-latency production while reducing costs⁤ and logistical challenges.

REMI Production: A Cost-Effective Approach

REMI production allows broadcasters and‍ content ​creators to capture live, high-resolution​ video ⁢at remote event locations and transmit it back to a centralized production and distribution facility with extremely low latency. This approach eliminates the need to‍ set up‌ or build a complete⁤ production ⁤suite​ at a remote location, or send ⁣skilled technicians‌ to handle the event.

“With REMI, we can deliver high-resolution camera feeds ⁢from the remote location ​via​ IP and/or satellite, where our deep pool of local talent can handle⁢ the work,”‍ said Rob Devlin, President⁤ of TNDV. “This cost-effective⁤ approach ⁣can significantly save on airfare, hotel, ‌and other travel expenses, and simplify complex⁢ logistics.”

Technical ‍Decisions

The production control ‌room ⁣is based on the Ross Video Ultrix Acuity platform, equipped with Ross XPression for real-time graphics creation, and integrates the Ross Acuity ‍software-defined‍ production engine, 4 M/E switcher cards, ‌Ultrix mix ⁣routing, and multiviewer capabilities.⁢ The suite ⁢also provides an adjacent independent‍ area for mixing digital audio and generating EVS-based sports replays and highlights.

TNDV’s‍ facilities offer robust, reliable ‍fiber-based high-speed internet and satellite ⁤uplink connections. To this infrastructure, TNDV added the Haivision Makito X4⁢ HEVC encoder, which enables secure and reliable transmission (SRT) of ultra-low latency 4K/UHD and HDTV high dynamic range (HDR) contribution​ video.

Expanding REMI Services

While the ⁣primary target is live sports, LMGH expects to work on ⁣projects from music festivals and other live entertainment events. The REMI control ⁢room⁤ first‌ went‍ into operation in February 2024, producing a ⁣series of women’s⁣ softball games ⁣for Athletes Unlimited.

“With⁢ our new REMI service, we can‍ now work with our ⁤media and entertainment clients in any way⁤ they like,” said Devlin. ​”Live production will ⁤never completely go away,⁤ but in an ⁣age where many ‍networks are hungry for content, using a REMI workflow helps deliver high-quality productions efficiently and at a lower cost.”
