IMG uses Riedel’s SimplyLive Production Suite to manage one of Europe’s largest remote football production operations.
The system supports over 50% of weekend EFL coverage from Stockley Park, producing more than 30 live matches concurrently.
Multi-Camera Workflows
The setup handles six camera feeds from Championship venues, four from League One, and two from League Two, a 60% increase over prior seasons. Operators manage live switching, instant replays, highlights, compliance, and social content across multiple platforms.
Flexibility for Operators
SimplyLive enables replay operators to review multiple angles and create highlights quickly. Directors can build hybrid workflows using touchscreen or remote control interfaces, adapting the system to operator preferences.
Post-Match Content Delivery
Centralized workflows speed up content delivery for clubs, officials, and rights holders. All camera angles are instantly available, reducing turnaround time, improving editorial quality, and easing staff onboarding.
Efficiency and Scale
The software-based design allows IMG to expand operator capacity and focus on content rather than technology. Brett Stoneham, Business Director at Riedel, emphasizes how centralized, flexible workflows enhance production efficiency and output.
