Revolutionizing global event production with NDI
By Jamie G
In recent Atomos and NDI case studies, we learn how MMG Events implemented an NDI-based solution that ensured reliability and flexibility for a global events production. With a range of Atomos monitor-recorders and an NDI workflow, they were able to connect 26 countries for a global event that reached over 60,000 attendees. The team achieved seamless delivery through real-time communication and content sharing, effortlessly overcoming complex logistical challenges.
Ryan Majchrowski, CEO of MMG Events was faced an unique challenge: producing 150 hybrid and virtual sessions that spanned four days and ran around the clock. Each session needed to be live-streamed across six concurrent channels and made available on-demand within minutes. Plus MMG Events had to create over 600 presentations or their virtual appearances, ensuring they were comfortable with the environment and technology.
“Live only happens once – redundancy is key. Guiding MMG Events’ approach to ensuring every layer of the production was secure, scalable, and adaptable to the demands of such a dynamic event.”

The Solution
What made this possible was a carefully crafted workflow centered around NDI technology. MMG Events spent months planning and conducting comprehensive onboarding programs for AV teams and presenters. During the event, MMG deployed over 200 NDI signals across their network, providing exceptional flexibility and allowing signals to be redirected anywhere within the studio. Monitoring was centralized using NDI Studio Monitor, combined with Atomos Shogun screens to display extended desktops. BirdDog Flex with Atomos Ninjas were used as reference monitors, and proactive monitoring enabled the project manager to follow onboarding processes, watch streams go live, and address technical issues before they could disrupt the live event.
