Behind the Broadcast: Kiloview NDI Solution Powers the Workers’ Cup Esports Semifinals
To meet the demands of bringing the Chengdu Workers’ Cup Honor of Kings Tournament to an on-site audience and online viewers, the esports competition production team turned to Kiloview.
Here's an excerpt from the case study:
The Challenge: More Signals, More Complexity
The production involved multiple sources—including gameplay feeds, commentator content, wireless cameras, NDI PTZ cameras, replay systems, graphics, streaming outputs, and venue displays. The challenge was to bring them into a unified workflow instead of managing separate point-to-point signal paths.
The team also required a flexible infrastructure that could simplify deployment and scale with future production needs. For the production team, the priorities were clear:
- Simplify deployment and reduce cabling
- Centralize multi-source production workflows
- Distribute signals across multiple production systems
- Maintain flexible routing and scalability
- Improve operational visibility and control
Solution: Bringing Multiple Production Sources into a Unified Workflow
The production team deployed a network-based workflow built around Kiloview N60 encoders, N50 encoders, and the AVX 24-4 Media HUB.
The workflow brought together gameplay feeds, commentator content, wireless camera coverage, replay systems, graphics, and venue display outputs within a single production environment. Gameplay and HDMI-based sources were converted into NDI streams through Kiloview N60 units, while NDI PTZ cameras and wireless video feeds were integrated directly into the network. In this way, baseband sources, native NDI cameras, and wireless coverage could all become part of the same NDI production workflow.
