Completing its latest expansion phase, Gravity Media’s Production Centre facility in London White City has extended its remote and distributed production capabilities with the addition of three Calrec Audio Argo consoles and ImPulse DSP cores to its existing Calrec infrastructure. The expansion not only maximises production efficiency but provides the potential to further develop production capacity with more nuanced, powerful and robust control.

Since 2024 Gravity Media’s Remote Operations Centre (ROC) in White City, London has provided production, post-production, and live studios services for a wide range of live sports and entertainment customers. Servicing clients like Formula E, ATP Media and TNT Sports, the 30,000-square-foot ROC has extended its capacity with two 48-fader Calrec Argo S consoles and a 36-fader Argo M, which are fully integrated into the facility’s native ST 2110 network topology.

The expansion of its audio facility with Calrec Argo at its heart means The Production Centre in London White City now has nine dedicated sound control rooms, with the Argo consoles complementing Gravity Media’s existing Calrec Artemis surfaces. The facility also manages six flexible multi booths for off tube commentary, voiceover, and other roles. The development has enabled Gravity Media to continue to refine its workflows, simultaneously increasing its throughput while reducing both its financial outlay and environmental impact.

Gravity Media’s investment in Calrec’s Argo technologies means it is already looking at how it can deliver even more control in the future with the latest iteration of Calrec’s True Control 2.0 technology. True Control 2.0 is enabling Gravity Media to not only develop the scale of its remote production at its London Production Centre, but across a new generation of outside broadcast units primed to deliver more efficiencies and even more robust redundancy.

True Control 2.0 expands remote and distributed production ecosystems by giving broadcasters full operational access to any enabled cores and surfaces, wherever they are. Each controller console can access up to five other consoles simultaneously to give broadcasters much greater levels of remote control without the limitations of mirroring or parallel controlling.
