Monumental Sports — The Sports Junkies & Broadcast Engineering

For The Sports Junkies and the surrounding daily programming schedule, I designed and built production infrastructure around vMix. The system supports programming from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day — a nine-hour broadcast window.

A pair of operators runs the production. The infrastructure was designed to be entirely operable from a single seat: the two-person staffing model is how the team runs it, not a requirement for operating the system. This puts a complete production workflow within one operator's reach while supporting the team's day-to-day working arrangement.

Separately, I provided engineering and systems integration support for Monumental Sports & Entertainment's live broadcast operations serving the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals, Washington Mystics, and Capital One Arena. That arena-related work was implementation and operational support, distinct from the vMix infrastructure I designed and built for daily programming.

The production environment includes arena-level broadcast systems, fly-pack deployment for flexible multi-camera production, and control room infrastructure capable of handling simultaneous game-day broadcasts across multiple sports and venues.

Studio production is anchored by Red Raptor cameras, delivering cinema-quality imagery for studio and interview content. The facility also leverages vMix for cloud-based production workflows, enabling remote teams to contribute to live programming and studio shows with broadcast-grade quality over IP.

The integration work focused on ensuring reliable, broadcast-grade production workflows that scale from intimate studio content to full arena event coverage, with redundant signal paths and remote production capabilities.
