Remote production in live sports: Broadcast workflows, infrastructure, and scale

Recorded at The SVG Football Summit

Live sports production at scale with Gravity Media

Remote production is now a key part of live football workflows, sitting alongside traditional on-site production. In this session, senior broadcast technology and operations leaders from Gravity Media join James Rivers from Imagine to explore how production models are evolving, and what it takes to support live sports in today’s environment.

From centralized production hubs to globally distributed workflows, the discussion highlights how broadcasters are balancing efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability while maintaining the demands of top-tier sports coverage.

Drawing on real-world experience, the session examines the operational realities of managing multiple live productions simultaneously, the shift toward IP-based infrastructure, and how teams are adapting to new ways of working across locations and time zones.
