Sports audiovisual production
From the pitch to the broadcaster, with broadcast quality and a backup at every link. For leagues, federations, brands and creators.
enbex sports audiovisual production takes a match, a race or an event with athletes from the camera to the broadcaster or the platform. We do it with broadcast quality and a backup at every link. We design and operate the multi-camera production, the replay, the fibre transport, the SRT encoding and the connectivity that supports it all. We have done it at the 2022 Champions League final, at the MXGP of Spain and at Messi's PSG debut streamed by Ibai on Twitch.
Sports broadcast production, from the pitch to the broadcaster
In sports audiovisual production there is no second take: every link in the signal chain has its backup. This was the chain we built at the 2022 Champions League final.
Broadcast cameras and lenses
Ten cameras with broadcast-grade lenses covered close-ups, the bench, the players' tunnel, flash interviews and the stands.
Fibre with backup
The distant cameras reached the control room through fibre optic converters, each with a backup that took over automatically if the main one failed.
Signal processing
The processors matched the format, colour and sync of every source, so we could cut between cameras without jumps.
Vision mixing and replay
A full production control room and a replay system that recorded every camera and could roll any play in seconds.
Encoding with backup
The main encoder sent the signal over SRT and the backup was ready to take over with no visible interruption.
Delivery to broadcasters
The programme feed reached TNT and the broadcasters in Brazil and Mexico: more than 35 million viewers.

Sports event broadcasting: live productions we have worked on
These are some of the sports events where enbex has delivered the sports audiovisual production, the connectivity or both.
2022 World Cup in Qatar: Argentina's matches and the final
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, enbex delivered the broadcast production for an Argentine broadcaster. We prepared the production before the tournament, deployed and set up the mobile unit, configured it and sent the signal. We produced Argentina's matches and the final, with cameras and audio all around the pitch and a team of more than nine technicians.
2022 Champions League final, in Saint-Denis
On 28 May 2022, at the Stade de France, enbex operated the mobile unit that sent the signal to TNT and to broadcasters in Brazil and Mexico. It carried ten cameras, replay, processors, fibre with backup and redundant SRT encoding. We worked alongside the broadcasters' own technical teams. The details are in the 2022 Champions League final case study.
Messi's PSG debut, with Ibai on Twitch
Half a million people watched the match live on Twitch, with commentary from the enbex studio in Madrid. The signal came in from France and was mixed with the studio's cameras, crane and production. enbex built and operated the network, the encoding, the studio and the redundant power. The details are in the case study of Messi's PSG debut.
MXGP of Spain: television from a circuit with no network
The circuit had no fibre and not enough mobile coverage to broadcast. enbex bonded twenty low-earth-orbit satellite internet terminals into a single link. That link fed the TV mobile unit and served the press, accreditation and the organisers. The details are in the case study of satellite internet at the MXGP.
Madrid Formula 1 Grand Prix, 2026
From 11 to 13 September 2026, at the MADRING circuit at IFEMA Madrid, enbex designed and operated the venue network. We installed close to 300 access points, more than 60 switches and more than 8 km of optical fibre in 15 days. The details are in the case study of the Formula 1 Grand Prix WiFi network.
Connectivity to produce where there is no network
A sports audiovisual production depends on the network as much as on the cameras: without a connection, the signal does not go out. That is why we design the connectivity with the same engineering as the production. We bonded twenty satellite links at the MXGP. For the Adidas event with Messi we installed lines from several operators with load balancing, and the stream kept going even if one failed. The Formula 1 Grand Prix network covered the whole circuit.
It is the same internet and WiFi for events service we set up at trade fairs, festivals and live TV shows, and the same audio and video over IP network we use in the biggest live productions.
Athletes, influencers and brands
Sports audiovisual production is no longer just for television. Leagues, brands and creators broadcast on Twitch and YouTube, and their audience expects the same quality as a televised match.
Ibai competed in audience with a national TV channel at Messi's PSG debut, from our TV studio in Madrid. For the first table football tournament on Twitch, with sports journalists and influencers, we set up six fixed cameras, a six-metre crane, multi-camera production and redundant encoding. The connectivity and the multi-camera stream of the Adidas event with Messi were also ours. For video game competitions we have our production of eSports tournaments.
What our sports audiovisual production includes
Our sports audiovisual production covers the whole chain or just the part that is missing:
Cameras with broadcast lenses, crane and wireless cameras
Fibre optic converters with backup for the distant positions
Production control room, vision mixer, graphics and signal processing
Continuous recording of every camera and replay in seconds
H.264 or HEVC encoders over SRT, with backup, to broadcasters and platforms
Fibre, several operators, satellite internet and load balancing
enbex technicians at every position and the network monitored in real time
How we work
We survey the venue with the organiser or the broadcaster: camera positions, distances, power and connectivity.
We design the signal chain and the contingency plan for every link.
We test the complete chain before taking it to the venue.
We install cameras, fibre, control and links, and run the tests with the broadcaster.
We operate the live show with enbex technicians at every position.
We deliver the signal and the recordings, and we dismantle.
Frequently asked questions about sports audiovisual production
What does the audiovisual production of a sports event include?
It includes everything between the camera and the viewer: the cameras and lenses, the signal transport, the vision mixing, the replay, the graphics, the encoding and the delivery to the broadcaster or the platform. We set up the whole chain or just the part that is missing, depending on what the broadcaster or the organiser already provides, and we add the venue connectivity if needed.
Can you deliver the signal to a TV broadcaster?
Yes. We encode the programme feed in H.264 or HEVC and send it over encrypted SRT, with a backup encoder ready to take over with no visible interruption. That is how the signal of the 2022 Champions League final reached TNT and broadcasters in Brazil and Mexico, with more than 35 million viewers.
What if the venue has no fibre or mobile coverage?
We bring the connectivity ourselves. At the MXGP of Spain, the circuit had no fibre or enough coverage, and we bonded twenty low-earth-orbit satellite internet terminals into a single link. That link fed the TV mobile unit and served the press, accreditation and the organisers throughout the weekend.
Do you work with content creators and athletes?
Yes. We produced Messi's PSG debut that Ibai streamed on Twitch, with half a million people watching live, and the first table football tournament on Twitch with sports journalists and influencers. For these formats we apply the same broadcast quality as for a TV broadcast.
Do you operate mobile units?
Yes. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar we deployed, set up and configured the mobile unit, and produced Argentina's matches and the final from it. At the 2022 Champions League final, enbex operated the mobile unit broadcasting to TNT and to broadcasters in Brazil and Mexico, with ten cameras, replay and redundant encoding.
