EMG opens new Milan-based broadcast operation hub

The hub has been developed by EMG Italy in cooperation with SES and EVS, and can run up to eight incoming live feeds and "potentially endless outgoing feeds", said the company

EMG Italy has opened the doors of a new broadcast operation hub for the International University Sports Federation (FISU) in Milan.

The hub has been developed by EMG Italy in cooperation with SES and EVS, and can run up to eight incoming live feeds and “potentially endless outgoing feeds”, said the company.

The Master Control Room has been designed to manage the channels for FISU TV and the worldwide distribution towards all rights holders. The main solutions deployed include a combination of a cloud-based platform for distribution, management and creation of contents and highlights, and SRT technology for receiving and broadcasting feeds.

The hub’s first live event was the Lake Placid 2023 FISU Winter World University Games, which ran from January 12th to January 22nd. The live streams covered 12 sports, 10 competition venues and almost 100 races and exhibitions.

“The effort is big, but we are excited to start this new adventure,” said Claudio Cavallotti, EMG Italy CEO. “We’ve been working many years along with FISU, starting ten years ago in Trento up to the wonderful edition in Naples in 2019. This is a great achievement for our technical team, as our MCR will be the main international hub of all FISU broadcast operations from 2023 to 2027.”

The EMG Italy MCR can also provide a full catalogue of services to cover the entire production chain, including commentary booths for live remote voice-overs, audio mixing, multichannel monitoring, ingest, editing and a dedicated technical and production team, added the company.
