Held from Nov. 9-21, the Games brought together elite athletes from provinces, municipalities, and special administrative regions to compete in 34 sports, including athletics, swimming, basketball, cycling, and gymnastics. The event also featured mass participation activities in 23 sports, making it a showcase of sporting excellence and community engagement.

The National Games introduced an innovative "one main and three branch" IBCs layout, with Guangzhou serving as the main signal hub linking three regional sub-centers in Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macao. To meet the demands of this distributed architecture, Riedel deployed its Artist intercom platform as the backbone of the network. An Artist-1024 matrix at the Guangzhou IBC supported over 200 channels, including AES67/ST2110-30 IP transmission and MADI signal integration, while an Artist-128 handled dedicated commentary channels. Both matrices were linked via cascaded fiber connections, creating a redundant configuration for uninterrupted performance.

Across all IBCs, Riedel installed 28 RSP-2318 SmartPanels featuring AES67/ST2110-30 compatibility and PTPv2 clocking for precise synchronization. These panels enabled direct, low-latency communication between production teams and rights-holding broadcasters. At the venue level, 56 NSA-002A adapters converted traditional four-wire signals into IP streams with latency under 10 milliseconds, ensuring real-time connectivity even during peak traffic periods.

Riedel also provided 13 CCP-1116 commentary panels for the opening and closing ceremonies and 13 major competitions. Each booth integrated high-quality pre-amplification and intercom functionality, allowing commentators to interact directly with production teams while maintaining pristine audio for broadcast audiences.
