Case Study: DMC Production Sweden achieves efficient remote RallyX coverage with Grass Valley AMPP

DMC Production Unleashes Revolutionary Live AMPP-based Remote Production

DMC Production Sweden, a Scandinavian remote video production company, faced significant challenges in producing the 2024 RallyX Championship. The races occur at remote European tracks with poor and unreliable internet, making it cost-prohibitive to send large outside broadcast teams and impossible to backhaul multiple high-bandwidth camera feeds to a central hub. They needed a solution that could operate within a constrained 100 Mb/s internet connection.

The solution was implemented by Grass Valley using their AMPP (Agile Media Processing Platform) SaaS workflow. AMPP allowed camera signals to be switched locally on servers in small vans, requiring only a single program feed and a multiview to be sent back over the internet. This eliminated the need for large OB trucks and extensive travel. The results were exceptional quality, greatly reduced costs, a lower environmental footprint, and the creation of a new, scalable operational model for future remote productions.
