Held at the WiZink Center in Madrid, the event brought together top freestyle rappers from around the world, delivering breathtaking performances to millions of fans. Behind the scenes, Red Bull relied on TVU Networks’ cutting-edge technology to execute a complex live production featuring advanced audio and video synchronization with low latency—all over public internet and at a fraction of the cost of traditional setups.
At the heart of this achievement were two TVU RPS One units, each equipped with four SDI connections, with each SDI input capable of transmitting up to 16 audio channels. This capability enabled precision critical to an event of this scale. With support for up to 128 audio channels and seamless integration with Dolby Atmos production, the solution set a new standard for remote production with premium audio quality. Every rhyme, beat, and crowd reaction was transmitted in real time with perfect synchronization, ensuring an immersive experience for viewers worldwide.
Using TVU RPS One, Red Bull seamlessly transmitted audio and video from the event in Madrid to a remote production and mixing room in Salzburg, Austria, enabling the creation of a Dolby Atmos mix. This advanced multi-channel audio workflow ensured fans to experience every detail—from the intensity of the battles to the roar of the crowd—with unparalleled clarity and depth on Red Bull TV. TVU’s frame-accurate synchronization over public internet made even the most complex setups effortless, delivering an audio experience traditionally reserved for on-site production.
Pushing Innovation a step further with A.I.
Red Bull’s commitment to innovation extended beyond production logistics. Using TVU Search, an AI-powered cloud-based tool, the team enhanced fan engagement and streamlined workflows. Advanced AI transcription converted freestyle lyrics into text in real time, while facial recognition technology tagged performers, creating a synchronized database of visuals and metadata. This not only enabled rapid documentation of battles but also opened new opportunities for content repurposing and fan interaction.
