Professional filmmaker Eric Shirk has integrated the Atomos Shinobi 7 RX into his production workflow for Monster Energy, using the monitor to improve focus accuracy, color monitoring, and production flexibility across fast-paced action sports environments. Working with Canon cameras in challenging outdoor conditions, Shirk relies on the monitor's LUT support, 7-inch daylight-viewable display, focus peaking, and touchscreen camera controls to maintain consistent image quality while moving quickly between locations.

The real-world deployment highlights how Shinobi 7 RX supports documentary filmmaking, branded content, live event coverage, and behind-the-scenes production by reducing monitoring challenges and improving workflow efficiency. For dealers and production professionals, it demonstrates the value of professional on-camera monitoring in demanding field production environments where speed, accuracy, and reliability are essential.

Successful classroom AV design depends less on today's technology and more on creating infrastructure that supports tomorrow's upgrades. As display technology, collaboration tools, and classroom workflows continue to evolve, overly customized installations can become costly to maintain and difficult to refresh, while underdesigned systems often fail to meet educators' needs from day one.

A flexible approach focuses on accessible power, network connectivity, upgradeable cable pathways, adaptable mounting solutions, and equipment that can be serviced without major construction. For consultants, architects, integrators, and education technology teams, designing around functionality instead of specific devices helps reduce lifecycle costs, simplify future technology refreshes, and deliver learning spaces that remain effective for years to come.

New relationship expands reseller access to scalable RiMotion instant replay and ViBox All-In-One live production systems

MINEOLA, N.Y. — July 16, 2026 — Broadfield Distributing Inc., a value-added distributor specializing in professional video production, live streaming, media storage, broadcast and AV-over-IP technologies, today announced the newest addition to their extensive line card: Riedel Communications’ SimplyLive live production solutions.

The new relationship gives Broadfield’s network of resellers, system integrators and value-added resellers access to Riedel’s flexible, software-driven tools for live sports production and instant replay. Broadfield will support its channel partners with product selection, workflow guidance and technical expertise for productions ranging from streamlined, single-operator events to larger, collaborative productions.

“Riedel’s SimplyLive portfolio gives our dealers a powerful new way to address the growing demand for professional sports production at every level,” said Glen Seaman, Director, Engineering at Broadfield. “RiMotion and the SimplyLive Production Suite Flex solutions combine comprehensive production capabilities with intuitive operation, remote-production flexibility and a scalable architecture. These solutions are an excellent fit for Broadfield’s commitment to helping our partners design effective, practical video workflows.”

RiMotion Instant Replay Solutions

Broadfield’s Riedel offering includes RiMotion bundles with the RC-200 replay controller fully configured with hardware and software licenses, providing configurations for six, eight, 10, 12 or 16 channels of instant replay. Broadfield also offers supporting options including a RiMotion Launch Services Pack at a special discounted rate allowing integrators to offer 3 hours of Commissioning services, 3 hours of technical training and 3 hours of operator training bundled together at a special price. Riedel Care SLAs, the RiMotion Super Slow-Mo license add-on and PS-NUC for local access or the PS-NUC-Remote for remote access are all also available and can be included in custom quotes from Broadfield’s CPQrew – a sales engineering team designed to support the Broadfield sales team and their dealers.

RiMotion combines an intuitive touchscreen interface with dedicated replay control, giving operators the flexibility to work with the touchscreen, the tactile remote controller or both. The platform supports optional super slow-motion camera workflows and is designed for remote and at-home production, allowing the processing hardware to remain at the venue while the user interface is extended to operators at another location. This approach can help production teams reduce their on-site footprint while maintaining responsive, professional replay control.

SimplyLive All-In-One Production Systems

Riedel’s SimplyLive Production Suite Flex systems bring live switching, graphics, instant replay, highlights and audio presets together in an integrated production environment. A single operator can manage the primary elements of a complete live show from one touchscreen, while the same system can expand into a collaborative, multi-user workflow for larger productions.

“Broadfield’s focus on professional video, extensive channel relationships and understanding of real-world production requirements make the company a strong distribution partner for our SimplyLive solutions,” said Gregory Macchia, Product Marketing Manager Live Production at Riedel. “Together, we can help more sports organizations and production teams implement flexible workflows that make sophisticated replay, switching, graphics and audio capabilities easier to deploy and operate.”

The addition of Riedel SimplyLive solutions builds on Broadfield’s long-standing focus on professional video production and its commitment to helping dealers and integrators identify, configure and deliver complete production workflows. Founded in 1980, Broadfield supports its partners with specialized product knowledge, sales engineering resources and a portfolio focused exclusively on video production, streaming and AV-over-IP technology.
