“Since we needed to train a three-person crew to take charge of the entire PVP3 operation, it was essential for this system to be extremely intuitive to learn and user-friendly to use,” Rivero said. Some of MEPTIK’s experience-driven designs include pre-rendered overlays and graphical elements, such as sponsor logos, ads and player statistics, composited with the live video feeds dynamically in the PVP3 system. An Elgato Streamdeck triggers cues within PVP3 of various scenic changes, each with a clearly labeled button. To power the operation, PVP3 is installed on an Apple iMac Pro, connected to two Sonnet SE Thunderbolt 3 chasses, and outfitted with five Blackmagic Duo 2 cards. The system is then used to mix and map live content with pre-rendered content, and output 12 channels of video to the various on-set displays including a 20-foot LED video wall on each side of the stage. With 20 HD-SDI connections available, PVP3 ingests four live video feeds originating from both the gaming system and camera shots. This ensured seamless interoperability with a Ross production switcher, high-end Sony cameras, live graphics systems and a house router. Its video engineallows multiple channels of video and graphics to reliably display as separate, jitter-free images on individual or groups of monitors, as well as a single, continuous image that fills the video walls and display clusters.Īccording to Rivero, PVP3 offered a significant operational advantage through native integration with the studio’s HD-SDI infrastructure and workflow. Renewed Vision’s PVP3 is invaluable to the high-quality, multichannel content delivery and presentation for each game. The NBA 2K League’s inaugural season began in May, with games scheduled every weekend through September. The unique experience, created by MEPTIK, an Atlanta-based experiential design studio, is produced on a 7,433-square foot soundstage at Brooklyn Studios. Throughout the game, PVP3 effortlessly powers multi-channel delivery of high-resolution video presented across the LCD cluster andseveral massive LED video walls. Live camera head shots of each player are shown on large LCD displays above each player to inform studio and online audiences. Each player controls game play while watching the virtual game on their individual monitors. In a typical NBA 2K match, the two teams sit center stage at a large round console, with five players on either side.
