What we built
The central playback and video control system for the Rolling Stone Awards, feeding main and scenic LED while carrying live camera feeds and real-time generative content.
An awards show is a long cue list with no gaps in it, so the routing and networking mattered as much as the playback: over a kilometre of fibre through the venue, with a backbone specified to hold broadcast quality end to end.
Everything ran from one position, which is what makes a show of this shape controllable rather than merely staffed.
