Liège, Belgium, April 25, 2022
US broadcast network FOX Sports has announced the acquisition of the MediaInfra Strada Routing and Control solution by EVS, the leading provider of live video technology. This major deal announcement was made by FOX Sports’ Kevin Callahan, VP Field Operations & Engineering on the EVS booth during the NAB Show.
The solution will be used by the FOX Sports production team in order to perform critical routing and control operations at various large-scale live events. The MediaInfra Strada solution will be delivered to Qatar in October 2022 ahead the FIFA Men’s World Cup that will take place in November 2022. It will then make its way to the USA for the live production of Super Bowl LVII in Arizona in February 2023, to be later deployed across the globe for other prestigious competitions such as the Woman’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and the 17th edition of the UEFA Euro in Germany.
“This was a straightforward decision for us since the MediaInfra Strada solution meets all our needs in terms of our orchestration, signal processing and manipulation requirements for events of such scale. EVS presented us with everything we were looking for.”
