NBA Digital Broadcast Operations Center: Winner of post 8 network production facilities

摘要

The National Basketball Association (NBA) consolidated two existing facilities into one more modern space to enhance productivity through the use of file-based capture and storage processes. The new facility in Secaucus, NJ, built with the help of The Systems Group (TSG), in Hoboken, NJ, is responsible for ingest and archiving, as well as redistribution of games around the world. The project - which included a major renovation of a single large floor -now features operations including 16 edit rooms, four game rooms, a broadcast operations center, a technical operations center and digital media management. The 24-position logging area works in tandem with a custom SGI ingest and archive system. Currently, two game rooms (that rebrand live games for international feeds) are fully operational, with access to a third when required. The fourth room handles all master-control activities (server playout and channel branding), as well as live-game operations for the NBA International Channel.
