Big Ten Network Expands Super Slow-Motion Replay to More Sports Using TVU Networks

ADVERTISEMENT Big Ten Network Expands Super Slow-Motion Replay to More Sports Using TVU Networks Posted on: April 17, 2026 • 2 minute read ADVERTISEMENT TVU Networks has announced that Big Ten Network (BTN) is using the TVU Remote Production System (RPS) platform to extend super slow-motion replay capabilities to collegiate sports beyond football and basketball, including baseball, soccer, and volleyball. BTN has also integrated TVU RPS Link encoders into its field production trucks as a hot backup to fiber-based workflows and as an early access network before venue fiber is activated. TVU RPS units at each venue encode multiple super slow-motion camera feeds and transport them over internet, 5G, or Starlink connections to BTN’s central production hub, where they are synchronized with Evertz DreamCatcher replay servers to produce the slow-motion replays. “The primary hurdle for moving our super slo-mo workflows to a remote model has always been the synchronization drift over the open internet,” says Nick Smith, VP of Engineering, Big Ten Network . “TVU has allowed us to take super slo-mo replay where it wasn’t previously possible.” The system also gives BTN remote control of cameras in the field, allowing operators at the central studio to adjust cameras, manage tally and intercom, and produce shows across venues without on-site crews. TVU RPS Link units integrated into BTN’s regional field trucks serve as a hot backup if primary fiber connections fail, and TVU Router provides immediate connectivity to production trucks before venue fiber is activated. “Big Ten Network’s implementation is a brilliant example of total network orchestration,” says Matt McEwen, VP of Product Management, TVU Networks . “They saw an opportunity to use TVU RPS to bring super slo-mo to more sports and more venues, while also adding resilience and flexibility to their existing fiber-based productions. It’s a smart, layered approach, and we’re proud to support their vision for expanding what’s possible in collegiate sports production.” Sharing Upcoming Events Top Stories Cisco, NVIDIA Push Toward AI-Driven Media Fabrics as Next Evolution of Broadcast Infrastructure By: Brandon Costa, Director of Digital Posted on: April 17, 2026 NBA Playoffs 2026 NBC Sports Tips Off First NBA Playoffs Campaign in 23 Years With Six-Truck Fleet, Interchangeable Production Model By: Jason Dachman, Editorial Director, U.S. Posted on: April 16, 2026 NBA Playoffs 2026 ESPN Enters First HDR Postseason With REMCO Support in New Bristol-Based Control Rooms By: Kristian Hernández, Senior Editor Posted on: April 16, 2026 SVG New Sponsor Spotlight: 4Wall Entertainment’s Dave Caulwell on Scaling Live Event Production for Sports By: Jason Dachman, Editorial Director, U.S. Posted on: April 16, 2026 NAB 2026 Preview, West Hall: Everything You Need To Know Heading Into the Show Posted on: April 16, 2026 NAB 2026 NAB 2026: Inside Sony's Wide Range of New Offerings, From the New "R Series" Camera Lineup to Switchers, a New Software Platform, and More By: Ken Kerschbaumer, Editorial Director Posted on: April 16, 2026 SVG Students To Watch: Robbie Basel, Iona University By: Brandon Costa, Director of Digital Posted on: April 16, 2026 Top Live-Sound–System Manufacturers Team Up To Better Manage Stadium Noise By: Dan Daley, Audio Editor Posted on: April 15, 2026 NBA Playoffs 2026 NBA Playoffs 2026: Prime Vision, Prime Insights Offer New Data-Driven Experiences for NBA Fans By: Jason Dachman, Editorial Director, U.S. Posted on: April 15, 2026 NAB 2026 Preview, Central Hall: Everything You Need To Know Heading Into the Show Posted on: April 15, 2026 NAB 2026: Canon Sets New Benchmark with CINE-SERVO 40-1200m Lens; New Remote Camera Controller Supports Up to 200 Cameras By: Ken Kerschbaumer, Editorial Director Posted on: April 15, 2026 Boxing Clever: Whisper Talks Flames and Finesse for the Netflix Exclusive Fight Night of Fury Versus Makhmudov By: Heather McLean, Editor, SVG Europe Posted on: April 15, 2026 Read more Latest Headlines posts ADVERTISEMENT Related Articles NHL Network Announces 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs Coverage and IIHF World Championship Schedule Tyson Fury defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov in his comeback fight last...
