Multi-Media Event Production
Fan-Centered Hockey Content
Metro Studios designed, installed, and manages the 4-sided center-hung 16×9 video board at ImOn Arena. Installed in 2021, this video board creates a focal point allowing fans to see live game footage, captivating in-game graphics, and messaging from sponsors.
Along with the new video board, we installed a control room, featuring a NewTek Tricaster and 3Play, which is home to our game night producer and director. We staff a full crew of talented camera operators, audio/lights engineer, public address announcer, host, as well as a director and producer with the goal of creating an engaging experience for both fans and the RoughRiders sponsors.
With multiple cameras including a center ice camera, goal cameras, a wireless camera, and several PTZ’s and replay capability, our event production services provide a captivating multi-media experience for attendees, and those watching at home through a streaming service provided by the league.
