SVG Venues & Teams Summit sessions detail IP-based stadium production shifts

The release of these sessions underscores a critical transition point for venue operators moving away from legacy SDI infrastructure toward flexible IP-based and cloud-integrated stacks. As franchises like the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic prioritize 4K HDR and AI-driven automation, the technical requirements for in-stadium production are increasingly mirroring high-end broadcast standards. This shift forces a broader ecosystem realignment where hardware vendors must ensure interoperability with cloud-based transfer tools to meet rising fan expectations for real-time, high-fidelity content. Watch for how these IP-based control rooms handle the increasing data load of AI-driven gameday operations in the upcoming 2026-2027 seasons.

The industry is seeing rapid adoption of SMPTE ST 2110 broadcast workflows as venues look to standardize their signal distribution across both local and remote production environments. Many organizations are also seeing campus production facilities transition to network-grade hubs to support these complex IP requirements.
