Industry leaders will walk through the complete end-to-end workflow, from on-site signal acquisition in Harstad to centralised production, orchestration, and distribution. The panel will explore how evolving remote production toolkits including connectivity, cloud-enabled workflows, multiviewing environments, and collaborative production systems come together to deliver seamless live coverage to viewers.
