The toolkit for live production is evolving faster than ever. Cine-style cameras and specialty optics, AI-driven automation, AR and XR graphics, virtual production environments, and REMI and cloud-based workflows, are dramatically reshaping the way live content is created and delivered. Technology leaders take stock of what's working on show day, what's still maturing, and how teams are prioritizing investment as the toolkit expands.

More Pixels or Better Pixels? A Producer’s Guide to Resolution, Dynamic Range, and Color

Many producers are being asked to approve technical workflows described with terms such as 1080p, UHD, 4K, SDR, HDR, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, HLG, PQ, 10-bit, and WCG. The problem is that these terms are often presented as though they describe the same thing. They do not. This session breaks down what the terms mean and, when budget and bandwidth are limited, how producers should decide between more pixels and better pixels.

Shallow Depth, Zero Margin: Deploying Cine Tools in Live Production

1:50 pm - 2:20 pm - (All times are in PST Time Zone)
1:50 pm - 2:20 pm - (All times are in PST Time Zone)
Large-format sensors and digital-cinema lenses have brought a powerful cinematic look to live sports and entertainment — along with razor-thin depth of field, demanding focus work, and no chance for a second take. Production leaders and camera/lens manufacturers discuss where cine tools pay off, what they ask of a crew, and how the gear is evolving for live's zero-margin environment.

Studio shows no longer just stay in the studio. Networks and streamers are increasingly taking their studio shows onsite at marquee events, trading the control of a broadcast center for the atmosphere of being at the event. Production and operations leaders from across the industry break down the design, infrastructure, and connectivity challenges of building a studio in the field — and how they decide when the payoff is worth the lift.

One Event, Multiple Shows: Creators, Alt-Casts, and the Localization
Tue 10 Nov, 2026
4:00 pm - 4:30 pm - (All times are in PST Time Zone)
4:00 pm - 4:30 pm - (All times are in PST Time Zone)
A single major event can now yield a dozen different broadcasts: a world feed, localized regional versions, alt-casts aimed at specific fan segments, and creator-led watch-alongs, and much more. Serving all of them means building a production designed from the start to be sliced, supplemented, and re-voiced. Panelists discuss how they architect events for multiple simultaneous shows and how they navigate the added complexity.

4:30 pm - 5:00 pm - (All times are in PST Time Zone)
In just a few short years, AI has moved from demo to daily workflow. Automated camera systems are covering events that can't support a full crew, highlight engines are clipping and publishing in seconds, and generative tools are producing graphics, voiceover, and localized feeds at scale. Technology users and providers discuss where AI is actually embedded in production today, what still needs a human in the loop, and how it's changing the economics of live coverage.
