DMC Production Germany has been appointed as the technical service provider and studio partner for MagentaTV’s FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage.
All content will be delivered in UHD with Dolby Atmos and accessibility features, including audio description. For the first time, the entire production chain will operate fully in HDR.
MagentaTV’s coverage will be centred around two studios: one in Munich, Germany and the other at One Trade Center in New York, which will serve as the main studio hub.
Munich will also serve as the central control hub for the remote production workflow from the US studio, with all live production operations managed from Germany, said DMC.
The company is responsible for the complete internal production infrastructure of both studios, which will feature “innovative, high-end scenic design, advanced analysis graphics and premium LED wall integrations”.
DMC Production Germany’s role also includes IP-based signal management and conversion, playout and feed enhancement, gallery production for all three MagentaTV’s FIFA World Cup channels, as well as ingest, recording and file management services.
Holger Enßlin, managing director, DMC Production Germany GmbH, said: “Together with MagentaTV and thinXpool, we are implementing international production architecture designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency. Our ambition is not only to provide the technical foundation, but also to actively contribute to setting new standards in sports broadcasting and enabling innovative production formats.”
