Grass Valley AMPP’s live video production and processing services have enabled RallyX coverage, produced by Scandinavian DMC Production, to be remotely shaped.
DMC completely redesigned its workflow live remote broadcast for the latest edition Rally. Normally, DMC deployed two large mobile units at each location, equipped with a significant number of operators and technical solutions. The jump to Grass Valley’s AMPP solution has allowed the production company to move only two small vans per locationreducing operating costs such as fuel or travel, and reducing personnel deployed on site
In parallel, AMPP has also allowed DMC to solve one of the most frequent problems in this type of coverage: the connectivity. With the traditional model, the production company sent a dozen camera signals to the remote site for switching back to a remote DMC production center. This would have made it essential to have a high speed connectivity to retransmit camera feeds, something that cannot be guaranteed at RallyX race venues. Grass Valley’s solution addressed this issue by allowing a seamless workflow fully remote controlled through a public internet connection of just 100 Mb/s from the race track to DMC’s remote production center.
Jens EnvallCTO of DMC Sweden, believes that AMPP has proven to be a “revolutionary solution” which is “radically transforming our remote live video production of RallyX and ultimately other media and entertainment events globally.” Envall highlights as values of the Grass Valley system its “scalability and agility”, with which DMC can “easily expand the number of cameras, add production centers and transmit program outputs to any of our remote production centers if necessary.”
On the other hand, Adam Marshallproduct manager at Grass Valley, is pleased to have “made a reality” of his live remote video production flow. “Following the continued success of RallyX production, DMC is poised to further benefit from our cutting-edge AMPP technology platform. “Together, we are reimagining traditional broadcast workflows and reshaping the landscape of live media and entertainment productions globally,” he underlines.
