Kiloview played a pivotal role in modernizing the AV infrastructure of the 71st Macau Grand Prix, one of the world’s most renowned motorsport events. Partnering with the Macau SAR Government Sports Bureau, the Macau Grand Prix Organizing Committee, and the Automobile General Association Macau-China (AAMC), Kiloview introduced an NDI AV-over-IP solution that transformed video transmission, monitoring, and recording across the 6.2-kilometer Guia Circuit. This upgrade was essential to overcoming the challenges posed by the circuit’s aging baseband video system, ensuring seamless, high-quality broadcasts for refereeing, live production, and post-race analysis.
The Macau Grand Prix demanded an advanced AV system capable of handling more than 60 HD and 4K signals from strategically placed cameras, including NDI PTZ units for enhanced coverage. Kiloview’s solution addressed the complex signal management required for real-time distribution to multiple operational centers, such as the control room, announcers’ area, judges’ office, and security team. Security and stability were paramount, with the system needing to guarantee uninterrupted, broadcast-grade reliability for the globally televised event. By replacing legacy cabling-heavy setups with a scalable IP-based infrastructure, Kiloview future-proofed the venue while optimizing cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.
Kiloview’s deployment featured a range of cutting-edge technologies to meet these demands. The NDI N60 converters facilitated high-quality 4K P60 HDR encoding and decoding, offering minimal latency and multiple output formats for different operational needs. The NDI CORE MAX ensured seamless multi-channel signal switching and distribution, while the NDI CUBE R1 provided secure multi-channel recording for refereeing and post-production. Additionally, Kiloview’s Multiview Pro enabled real-time monitoring across various locations, and the KiloLink Server Pro centralized device management, allowing for remote monitoring and updates. These innovations enabled smooth and efficient video operations throughout the event.
The impact of Kiloview’s NDI AV-over-IP solution on the 71st Macau Grand Prix was profound, with event organizers praising its reliability, scalability, and flexibility. The deployment not only enhanced the race’s live production but also set a new benchmark for AV infrastructure at the venue. With this future-ready solution in place, the Macau Grand Prix is now well-equipped to adapt to evolving broadcast demands, ensuring world-class video coverage for years to come.
