The Challenge

Longtime NEP customer NBC Sports required a dynamic, ultra-high-performance broadcast compound capable of supporting parallel productions, advanced signal routing and world-class redundancy.

• Support for 14 live broadcast customers across seven+ venues and locations

• Enable real-time signal sharing across multiple production units

• Deliver high-capacity, resilient connectivity for a global mega-event

• Deploy infrastructure rapidly with flexibility for evolving workflows

NEP’s Solution

NEP deployed a software-defined, IP-centric broadcast campus powered by its TFC platform and anchored by NEP mobile unit Supershooter 71.

• 15 mobile units (29 trailers) supporting diverse production needs

• Supershooter 71 serving as signal aggregation and quality-control hub

• SMPTE ST 2110 IP-native infrastructure enabling compound-wide connectivity

• 60+ robotic, high-frame-rate, POV and RF cameras via NEP Specialty Capture

• TFC-centralized routing and orchestration platform

Technology Highlights

By treating the compound as a single IP ecosystem rather than isolated facilities, NEP dramatically simplified routing, reduced setup time, and enhanced operational flexibility.

• Access to any signal from anywhere in the compound

• Reduced manual patching and engineering complexity

• Enabled remote production extensions without full mobile deployments

• Integrated monitoring, control data and tally systems into the IP fabric

The Results

• Seamless IP-driven coverage of one of the world’s most watched sporting events

• Scalable infrastructure supporting 14 broadcast partners

• Future-ready architecture built for mega-event production

• Reinforced NEP’s leadership in IP-powered live broadcast solutions
