New Production Models for a New Normal: Cloud Control, GCV Anywhere, RAPs, and the Future of Remote Production
SVG RSN Summit 2022 • 48m
The pandemic dramatically transformed regional sports networks’ live-production operations over the past two-plus years. To limit crew travel for safety and cost-saving reasons, RSNs have increasingly relied on enhanced world feeds and new REMI production workflows that leverage their broadcast facilities at home. As the RSN world returns to something resembling normalcy, how are the established pre-pandemic production models mixing with the new at-home workflows like Cloud Control, GCV Anywhere, and Remote Access Productions (RAPs)? And what does that mean for the future?

Kendall Burgess, Bally Sports, VP of Technical Operations
Kenny Elcock, NESN, VP of Engineering
Jeff Filippi, MSG Networks, SVP of Programming & Production, Executive Producer
Devon Fox, NBC Sports Bay Area & California, Senior Director of Live Events & Special Projects
Doug Johnson, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, VP and Executive Producer
