5 Reasons to Move to IP KVM in Your Sports Broadcast Control Room

Sports broadcasting companies need to move fast to reach global audiences in real-time. Moving to a modern IP KVM system brings flexibility and scalability to the control room as opposed to traditional workspaces with clunky hardware and cords.

Here are the top five reasons why IP KVM is a game-changer for a fast-paced environment like working to stream the big game live:

1. Reliable Signal Extension and Switching

IP KVM transmitters and receivers connect onsite users — whether in an OB van or control room — to central servers in a secure, climate-controlled environment. This setup minimizes cables, noise, and heat while providing flexible access to computer resources.

2. A Seamless User Experience

From the field to the control room, users can access the applications hosted on physical/virtual servers that they need without moving between workstations. IP KVM ensures instant, lag-free connections, making production and post-production smoother.

3. Virtualization Support

An IP KVM system enables access to both physical and virtual servers from anywhere, allowing facilities to transition to virtualized operations at their own pace.

4. 4K Readiness

With IP KVM, control rooms can easily transition from HD to 4K displays and take on 4K workflows, delivering stunning visuals to sports fans.

5. Intuitive Control System

Enhance your broadcast setup with room controls that streamline multimedia, AV, and device management. Adjust signals and room elements with a single tap on a tablet or touch panel.
