PANEL DISCUSSION

The Future of Control Rooms:
Leaders Talk 4K, IP, and More

Recorded at SVG Venue & Teams Summit 2025

Stadiums and arenas keep raising the bar on fan experience, which puts fresh pressure on control rooms to do more with tighter timelines and budgets.

In this panel, game-day leaders and technology providers compare notes on what’s working now — from IP-based architectures and 4K/HDR to redundancy, data-driven workflows, and day-two operations. You’ll hear practical guidance from voices across the ecosystem, including venue operations and vendors such as Imagine Communications, Grass Valley, Riedel, and Key Code Media, moderated by SVG’s editorial director.

What you’ll learn

  • When 4K/HDR makes sense — and how to phase adoption without disrupting the show
  • Practical migration paths from SDI to IP
  • How control room design impacts staffing, maintenance, and flexibility
  • Lessons from recent venue upgrades and control room rebuilds
  • What’s next for centralized and hybrid operations
