Innovative Command Centre
At the heart of each X Prix is the Command Centre; a hub for live race broadcast, pit wall-style strategy, and thrilling action that adds huge value and insight for remote audiences.
ADI were tasked with helping Extreme E create this state-of-the-art studio space, despite it being a temporary solution that’s installed in far-flung locations. The Command Centre’s stylish technical design was achieved through fine pitch LED screens and lighting fixtures, set around an arc-shaped desk hosting team representatives, including Nico Rosberg and Chip Ganassi.
Support Team
A dedicated ADI team are on-hand to manage and cue all audio, 4k video and lighting play-out inside the Command Centre, utilising a single software platform to run the show. ADI’s platform brings huge flexibility to the play-back, capable of supporting multiple layers of digital media across the fine pitch LED screens, and allows changes to the studio AV and sports presentation to be triggered by live action that happens during each X Prix.
VIP Screening
In addition to the Command Centre solution, ADI provide an outdoor modular screen for live race broadcast at the Explorer Lounge hospitality area. Featuring high res LED and supporting structure, the large display provides constant live coverage to the VIP’s and team members on-site.
It’s great to have ADI’s support in providing this concept, as we deliver this pioneering project across the most remote parts of the world. ADI brings unique qualities in technical infrastructure, Sports Presentation and operational delivery, which helps create outstanding production values at the ‘Command Centre’, and our live broadcast of Extreme E.
Outcome:
Extreme E has received huge support and worldwide coverage, with 190 global broadcast markets and a global audience of 18.7 million as it enters its second season.
ADI have used their expertise to help Extreme E launch this ambitious and truly pioneering project, involved from the planning and design stages, through to on-site build and delivery.
The technical production and sports presentation successfully reflects the innovation Extreme E embodies, with ADI continually evolving the solution and hardware provision as the series grows and develops.
