Olympic Games

The tremendous benefit of IP is that it supports new workflows that enable broadcasters to fundamentally transform how they create and deliver content while lowering their operating expenses. Learn how NBC took full advantage of IP Fabric for Media to broadcast the 2021 Olympic Games.

With one of the world’s largest sporting events on the horizon, get a behind-the-scenes look from one of Cisco’s Distinguished engineers on how they plan, implement, and overcome unique IT challenges enabling best-in-class live event digital experiences.

This will be NBC Universal’s (NBCU) first ever all-IP International Broadcast Center operation at the Olympic Games, powered by a Cisco network. NBCUniversal (NBCU) will deliver more than 7,000 hours of content from the 2021 Tokyo Games to viewers. The moment those cameras capture the image, it starts encoding. That image is then transferred, via a network, by producers in the control room to viewers across the nation. It is then distributed to the consumer in 4k - and it all happens in a moment.
