The University of Washington has launched Sundodger Studios, a new production facility featuring Grass Valley cameras and K-Frame SXP switchers on an SMPTE ST 2110 IP network. The facility supports four control rooms, enabling simultaneous live sports production and providing students with professional-grade IP-based broadcast workflows.
This transition from SDI to a full SMPTE ST 2110 IP environment allows the university to scale production capacity without a linear increase in hardware footprint. By sharing processing resources across multiple control rooms, the athletics department can manage overlapping Big Ten Conference events with greater technical agility. This deployment reflects a broader shift in collegiate sports toward professional-grade broadcast standards that mirror top-tier national networks. The move also serves as a critical training ground for students entering a workforce increasingly dominated by IP-based workflows. Watch for the upcoming integration with Daktronics venue technology to see how the university synchronizes in-stadium displays with its new IP backbone.
The University of Washington has launched Sundodger Studios, a new production facility utilizing SMPTE ST 2110 IP standards. By replacing legacy SDI systems with Grass Valley technology, the university can now manage four control rooms simultaneously. This transition enables greater technical agility for Big Ten Conference events and provides professional-grade training.
Sundodger Studios utilizes Grass Valley IP infrastructure, including two K-Frame SXP frames, to support four independent control surfaces and SMPTE ST 2110 standards.
The transition allows the university to scale production capacity without increasing its hardware footprint, enabling the athletics department to manage overlapping Big Ten Conference events more efficiently.
Anthony James Partners provided consultancy services, while Conference Technologies, Inc. handled the system implementation for the new facility.
The studio features four LDX 135 native UHD cameras and four LDX 150 units capable of 6x high-speed capture.
