What we do - Cingularity > Remote Production Connectivity

End-to-End Remote Production Services

We know that every event is different. Be it the local connectivity challenge, the arena set-up or the camera feeds. There is no one size fits all for this kind of work; no off-the-shelf solution.

That is why we operate at each stage along the remote production workflow and also offer each component of the chain as a stand-alone service. A remote production ‘pick ’n mix’, if you will.

The Full spectrum

We operate at each stage along the remote production workflow

Full Service Venue Parter

We take the role of an OB, but our fibre network is our truck.

Through managing the remote site technical and camera operations we are able to streamline the workflow to ensure cost savings. By having an overarching view of the project we are able to reduce and inefficient overlaps.

We work with our own inventory where possible and complement with third party rental specialists when required.

Encoding for Contribution and Distribution

We offer a full range of encoding from virtually loss-less JPEG-XS, JPEG-2000 and HEVC for ultra-low latency remote production and contribution to AVC H.264 when latency is not so critical

Event Contribution Networks

Event contribution networks are where we cut our teeth. Back in 2018 Dan Pope designed and delivered for Amazon Prime an ultra-low latency JPEG-2000 contribution network from the ATP 1000 venues to IMG Studios Stockley Park for Amazon’s Remote Production. It was so resilient, so reliable and so well engineered that Amazon Prime came back for more.

Permanent Contribution Networks

We are experts in designing contribution networks carrying permanent channels and we tailor make them to match the levels of resilience each of our clients need. Our attention to detail scrutinising network routes and ensuring absolute diversity is second to none and we pride ourselves on the exceptional long-term performance of the networks we deliver

Remote Production Galleries

Whether you need regular or ad-hoc availability Cingularity’s parent company, IMG Studios can host you.

SEE PROJECTS

Global Channel Payout

In 2012, IMG had an idea. What if you could watch live sport on a plane or while you were on a cruise? It’s this kind of spirit that makes us unique and led to the birth of our channel – Sport 24.

Sport 24 and its sister channel Sport 24 Extra, allow fans to watch the sport they love whilst cruising at 40,000ft or in the middle of the ocean. 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week we broadcast the best live sports from across the globe including Premier League, UEFA Champions League, ICC Cricket, World Rugby, ATP Masters, NBA, NFL, Wimbledon, and the US Open.

IMG can manage the playout of your 24/7 channel and offer multiple options from a basic service to a fully managed solution.

* LIVELAB development

Cingularity are agnostic when it comes to technology.

Our LiveLab team continuously assess innovations and only recommend new technologies after thorough testing that replicates a live working environment.

We use this knowledge to advise our clients on the best technology application for their individual project.
