Blue Origin NG-3 Launch: Large-Scale REMI Production
BMG was back on-site at Cape Canaveral this month, supporting Blue Origin‘s New Glenn-3 mission and delivering one of the most complex REMI productions in our history.
Throughout the week, our teams in the field, at our NYC spoke facility, and in our Network Operations Center in Washington, DC, prepared for a 45-camera live broadcast spanning multiple locations. While the core production remained centralized in the NOC (switching, audio, graphics, recordings, video engineering, and transmission), our engineering team deployed a fully integrated on-site video village to support the producing team during the launch.
A true extension of the control room
Built to function as a seamless extension of our control rooms, the on-site video village was connected directly to the NOC, allowing both environments to operate as a single system in real time. This hybrid approach gave producers, APs, ADs, data ops, prompter ops, and the director the ability to work alongside talent and manage the live show on-site, while the rest of the production team stayed centralized in DC and New York.
Scale that legacy workflows can’t match
A show of this scale would traditionally require three legacy mobile units, and even then, it wouldn’t have offered the redundancy or the flexibility to handle last-minute additions. Producing the broadcast through our REMI model gave us both. It’s an approach that has proven, time and again, to be tried and true.
Productions at this scale demand more than infrastructure. They require coordination, preparation, and execution across every role.
Shout-out to the team
A huge thank-you to our production management department, engineers, production teams, and freelance partners who made this broadcast possible. Their work behind the scenes is exactly why missions like this go off without a hitch.
This is what REMI is built for
Not a fixed model — but the flexibility to scale and adapt based on what the production demands.

The Pro Tour: Redefining Live Golf Production with REMI and Wireless Workflows
BMG supported the inaugural Pro Tour Golf Tournament at PGA National Resort this month, delivering a new approach to live golf production and setting the template for what’s next in the sport.
BMG provided all creative services, including show format development, graphics design, show elements, and the entire producing team.
Traditionally, tournaments like this require miles of fiber to connect cameras across the course, creating a large on-site footprint and limiting flexibility once everything is in place. For the Pro Tour, we took a different approach, built around giving viewers the best possible experience.
By equipping every camera with bonded cellular backpacks from our transmission partner LiveU, feeds were sent directly back to our Network Operations Center in DC, eliminating the need for extensive cabling. LiveU served as the primary transmission path, with a fully redundant backup over Starlink to ensure continuous connectivity across the course.
Beyond the travel savings and reduced environmental impact compared to legacy production, this approach delivered real creative gains:
- Greater access to top talent
- Field teams are able to move freely and adjust coverage in real time
- The ability to capture the natural flow of play without being constrained by infrastructure
The result: a better creative product for the home audience.
While our field teams operated with new freedom on the course, all core production remained centralized within our state-of-the-art, fully redundant NOC ecosystem, which handled switching, graphics, audio, video shading, transmission, master control, and media asset management.
As the first of six planned tournaments this year, this production set the foundation for a scalable, efficient model that can grow with the league, and points to where live golf coverage is heading.

NAB 2026: Grass Valley AMPP Partner Recognition and Key Takeaways
BMG was on the ground at the NAB Show this month, connecting with partners, exploring new technologies, and sharing insights across the industry.
Ahead of the show, we were honored to be named Grass Valley‘s AMPP Partner of the Year, presented by Grass Valley President Jon Wilson. The recognition reflects the work our teams have done building and operating private cloud-based broadcast workflows for clients across production, channel playout, and media asset management.
AMPP remains a core part of how BMG powers our Network Operations Center, supporting everything from channel playout to full-scale production services within the BMG Cloud Control Center™. It’s also the foundation that allows us to offer both REMI and Reverse REMI options to our clients, giving every production the flexibility to scale up or down as the show demands.
Beyond the award, several themes stood out this year:
- “Single pane of glass” orchestration, the industry-wide push toward unified control across production, playout, and distribution
- AI-driven and automated workflows, moving from experimentation to real operational impact
- Private Cloud-native broadcast environments, continuing to mature into reliable, redundant production infrastructure
Together, these trends are shaping how modern broadcast environments are designed and operated, and they align closely with the model BMG has been building toward for years.

Behind the Scenes at the New York Stock Exchange
BMG was in New York this month, producing a large-scale Investor Day at the New York Stock Exchange for a Fortune 500 client.
Events like this look seamless on screen, but the reality behind the scenes is anything but. When working inside a third-party facility, every system, workflow, and limitation has to be understood before the first production day, from routing and playback to graphics and audio.
For corporate investor events, the stakes are high. These are market-facing communications, and execution directly affects how a company is perceived. There’s no margin for error, and every role on the production, from the line producer to the director, graphics, video playouts, and prompter operators are critical in keeping the show aligned.
Our CEO, Todd Mason, was on-site directing, working alongside the BMG crew to adapt to the environment and deliver a polished broadcast under pressure.
