The ESPN facility was made up of three production galleries each with its own audio mixer, a central logging and Ingest area, an on-air EVS area, Avid edit suites, a transmission area and a remote large studio overlooking Soccer City. There was also a large central production office with various audio, video and communications facilities installed on desks as required. The whole facility was virtually tapeless with a central EVS server for Ingest and logging which is connected to an Avid Unity server to allow transfer of files between Avid's, Ingest and on-air EVS machines. The facility also had three Lawo MC56 audio desks connected together via four cores that allow total flexibility between all the control rooms for transfer of audio signals for the various 5.1 mixes being done.
