With over 50 years of shared experience, Lumen Vyvx Broadcast Solutions’ extensive reach and low-latency connectivity combined with LTN’s advanced content enrichment and master control services offers an end to end, fully managed solution for producing major live events for virtually any platform.
Powering Live Global Sports Coverage
RTL Deutschland, Germany’s leading entertainment company and exclusive free to air broadcast rights holder for the NFL, utilizes a blend of LTN and Lumen technologies to remotely produce the Super Bowl and the country’s biggest live events throughout the NFL season. Using Vyvx’s low-latency connectivity, RTL successfully managed the remote production of Super Bowl LIX. Signals were effortlessly transported between New Orleans and LTN’s operations center in Cologne, Germany. This setup combined LTN’s on-site live event production services with master control from Cologne, while enabling real-time communication between presenters at Caesars Superdome and commentators at RTL’s broadcasting center in Germany.
