The Premiership football match between Manchester United and Chelsea FC that was held on September 18, a Sunday, had been telecast in 3D for the world to view. This telecast was the work of IMG mediahouse which is a part of the IMG worldwide whose services include global sports, fashion and other media services. The broadcast was carried out with the help of Miranda Technologies Inc. CA:MT -2.89 percent, a television broadcaster also known to be a worldwide provider for production, playout and delivery systems. Their services are taken up not only by television broadcasting but also by cable, satellite and IPTV service providers. For this particular football event the Hybrid routing technology available with Miranda Technologies Inc., had been used as per an announcement by the company.

IMG mediahouse is based in West London and in order to serve three 3Gbps/HD studios for airing their live programs the company has installed a NVISION 8500 Hybrid routing system with integrated audio processing. BBC’s ‘The Football League show’ and by ESPN are also using this routing system for their broadcasting of the ‘Barclays Premier League’ matches.

Shane Warden, General Manager at IMG mediahouse says, “The Miranda system sits as the hub of this very busy live facility, and we’ve been delighted with its performance across our new production studios and galleries. We wanted to build in capability for 3D workflow, and this system has accommodated it seamlessly.”

He further added, “We’re using a mix of 3Gbps, HD, SD, ASI, AES and MADI sources for our live sports productions, with all these formats handled by a single router frame. This high level of integration avoids video/audio latency issues, and also saves space and simplifies cable management. By employing Miranda’s modular hybrid technology, we can deliver flexible studio and gallery environments that cater for the next generation of 3Gbps 1080-50P and 3D live sport production.”

The router frame itself has the capability to handle everyday signal processes like swapping program audio tracks as the router integrates de-embedding, shuffling, break-away and re-embedding within a single frame. System costs are also minimized as the cards enable audio processing to be mixed with regular input and output cards.
