Case Study: CBS News expands its Washington Bureau with Diversified

CBS News expands Washington Bureau with Diversified and 40 million LED pixels

The CBS News Washington Bureau faced the challenge of upgrading its facility and technology to expand its reach in the nation's capital for the next two decades. This required a new building and technical infrastructure to support live and recorded programs. Partnering with Diversified, CBS needed a solution to avoid real estate penalties and, a year later, to accommodate moving the "CBS Evening News" origination to Washington, which demanded a new studio and expanded graphics capabilities.

Diversified designed and built an advanced, hybrid IP core facility with networked audio and media workflows, delivering the project on time and on budget. For the new studio, they implemented a VizRT Multiplay Graphics Platform and expanded the Evertz ATP solution to manage over 40 million LED pixels across 17 video walls and connectivity to New York. Leveraging institutional knowledge, Diversified completed this aggressive expansion, meeting all of CBS's high-level facility and tech upgrade requirements and enabling the bureau's enhanced broadcast capabilities.
