VIRTUALIS STUDIOS TAPPED BY ENDEMOL SHINE TO PROVIDE SCALABLE REMOTE PRODUCTION SOLUTION

Endemol Shine North America has harnessed Virtualis Studios to provide scalable remote production solutions.

Virtualis Studios, the cloud-based, fully virtual video production division of Super League Gaming, was selected by Endemol Shine to provide remote production and monitoring solutions for the second season of FOX’s LEGO Masters. 

Endemol Shine North America is a division of Banijay, the world’s largest international content producer and distributor, delivering storytelling to platforms across the US and internationally. 

Virtualis Studios specializes in integrating multiple technology solutions to ensure any given project can be produced and monitored successfully on a partially or fully remote basis. The proprietary infrastructure supports multiple, concurrent virtual control rooms that are fully operational at any given time, with limitless scalability compared to what is possible within physical studios and on-site control rooms.

Able to be deployed across small- and large-scale projects, including live broadcasts, live events and live-to-tape entertainment and branded content productions, Virtualis’ system and team of expert producers, technical directors, broadcast technicians and engineers ensure seamless communications and up to hundreds of dynamic content sources are available through a stable and secure cloud-based framework with near-zero latency.

Rob Day, Endemol Shine’s EVP and Head of Production, explained: “Virtualis Studios was an integral and invaluable contributor to our daily production and communication workflows for LEGO Masters. We needed someone with deep experience in remote production and monitoring who could eliminate the unknowns and provide a solution that just worked for our team and our partners, no matter what. Virtualis understands that production has changed forever and has a system and approach that meet our current and future needs.”

Brian Gramo, General Manager of Virtualis Studios, commented: “Even with the capabilities available during a broadcast network-level sound stage production, traditional workflows do not accommodate functions such as remote monitoring and digital guest support. When we showed the executives in charge of production how easy it is to plug into Virtualis and just go, their broadcast crew was thrilled.”

Mike Baron, SVP of Partnerships for Super League and Virtualis Studios, added: “Endemol Shine is one of the most exciting and sophisticated content production companies in the world. We are thankful that they recognized why Virtualis Studios is unique and so well-suited to support the LEGO Masters television franchise.”

The second season of LEGO Masters is set to premiere Tuesday, June 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
