LTN And Lumen Transform Premier Sports Events With Live Production Partnership

LTN and Lumen Technologies announce a partnership delivering a high quality combination of live event production and transmission services for world-leading media companies.

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.

Lumen Vyvx Broadcast Solutions is a suite of services designed to deliver high-quality, reliable live video transport for some of the biggest media companies globally, including professional sports leagues. Underpinned by one of the largest fiber IP networks in the world, Lumen’s comprehensive range of services runs on top of its fiber IP backbone and global edge network. Through Vyvx’s low-latency JPEG-XS encoding and high-bandwidth signal transportation platform, leagues and rights holders can enable seamless and dependable live video transmission from major sports venues, while harnessing LTN’s live sports programming ecosystem for a full suite of content enrichment, master control and multipoint distribution services.

Driving Innovation in Remote Production
LTN’s managed IP ecosystem powers over 150,000 hours of produced live events annually, providing global content origination, enrichment and distribution services for major leagues, rights holders and streaming platforms. Centralized master control and real-time decoration and versioning tools empower content owners to cost-efficiently produce multiple tailored versions of live event feeds for regionalized distribution, through custom graphics, language tracks, audio customization and metadata insertion for localized advertising. Low-latency signal transport and advanced master control services enable LTN and Lumen’s joint customers to achieve effective remote production workflows, empowering globally distributed teams to deliver dynamic coverage across hybrid live event production environments with real-time studio and announcer integration.
