EHC Visp and Lonza Arena choose Vertex – for an enhanced visitor experience
At Lonza Arena, a Vertex-based solution from Ross Video brings infotainment, live production and media control together in one seamless workflow. It enables the various output channels and devices used during games and events to be managed through a shared interface.
The system controls the LED cube with its four individually managed sides, an LED ribbon and dedicated programmes for in-house TV and the Swiss League stream. This allows content to be delivered efficiently to audiences in the arena as well as viewers watching from home.
Live video, graphics and data in one workflow
The signals are delivered as key/fill overlays via a Ultrix Carbonite. This allows camera cuts to continue being handled on the video production switcher, while graphics and video inserts are controlled flexibly through Vertex.
Operation is handled through a customised GUI tailored to EHC Visp’s requirements and the flow of the game. Complex production workflows can be clearly structured and triggered with a single button.
Vertex provides the interface for controlling all relevant devices in the signal chain. One button can trigger a complete sequence of commands across multiple systems, significantly simplifying complex processes.
Relevant game data across all platforms
Live data from the scoreboard is processed in Vertex. The score and game time can be displayed in individual designs on the LED cube, in both streams and on tablets in the players’ locker rooms.
The Ultrix allows signals to be distributed flexibly. The streams can also be provided with individual multilingual audio feeds. This creates a versatile foundation for game operations, the arena experience and digital broadcasts.
