Finding a way towards a lower cost base for major match-day production is of course at the top of the agenda for all sports broadcasters and rightsholders. Premium remote production at an affordable price: just a pipe dream? Is it possible to use high capacity small format vehicles, taking advantage of innovative production switching, graphics, control and social media content moderation tools to deliver consistent ‘network-level’ match-day productions?

There is no doubting the constant pressure on rights holders to produce economical broadcast and internet content: but is there a practical, predictable alternative to ‘conventional’ truck design, maximising space and minimising risk to deliver a healthy ROI? The stellar line up of session participants will tackle the big issues on 17 March at Mediapro headquarters in Barcelona.
