Two days. One global title. Vivid worked alongside 180Studios to support the Chess.com team with this truly hybrid event. We helped create and deliver the complete event and broadcast facilities for the World Speed Chess Championships 2025 Live Finals in London, ensuring that the experience in the room was as dynamic and engaging as it was online.
Vivid Broadcast delivered end-to-end event creative, production and broadcast, providing custom player desks, stage set, lighting and LED design, with our friends at IMAG providing the LED and control package. All working within tight deadlines and budgets.
For the online experience, we provided a ceiling slung Agito, Sony FR7’s integrated into each desk, steadicam and peds. Presenters were based in 180Studios XR LED stage and filmed with Arri cameras.
The system was built around a large gallery with our powerful PPU5 with an Ultrix FR5 at its core and seamlessly integrating with NDI video delivering fully redundant IP transmission paths including 20x cloud distributed streams. EVS Vias provided highlights and VT playback. Audio was run from our Calrec Argo-m 48 fader desk along with full RTS comms and Wisycom audio solution.
Our flypacks offer best in class, highly flexible, scalable production solutions.
