The Red Bull Batalla World Final, which took place in Madrid in November, executed a live production featuring advanced audio and video synchronisation with low latency—all via the public internet.
The rap battle production employed TVU RPS One units from TVU Networks, each equipped with four SDI connections capable of transmitting up to 16 audio channels. The 128 audio channels were integrated with Dolby Atmos, enabling the production to set a new standard of audio quality, said the company.
Using TVU RPS One, Red Bull transmitted audio and video from the event in Madrid to a remote production and mixing room in Salzburg, Austria, enabling the creation of a Dolby Atmos mix.
Red Bull also used TVU Search, an AI-powered cloud-based tool, which enabled the production team to deliver enhanced fan engagement and streamlined workflows. Advanced AI transcription converted freestyle lyrics into text in real time, while facial recognition technology tagged performers, creating a synchronised database of visuals and metadata, said the company.
Fernando Pinto, head of Europe solutions at TVU Networks commented: “By leveraging TVU’s cloud and REMI broadcast solutions, we’re not only tackling existing production setups but also enabling entirely new types of live events that were previously impossible, both technically and economically. This collaboration is allowing us to produce more high-quality live events remotely, aligning innovation with environmental responsibility.”
