Modern live production is no longer confined to a single control room or a conventional SDI router.

Your teams need to move signals between facilities, cloud platforms, REMI hubs, NOCs, and distribution endpoints without sacrificing reliability or control. This page describes how BMG designs and integrates IP live production and cloud‑connected workflows that bridge your on‑prem infrastructure with BMG’s cloud backbone and your distribution partners.

BMG combines broadcast systems design, IP networking, and cloud production expertise with the reality of your current facilities and teams. The result: practical, phased workflows that support today’s shows and channels while preparing you for what’s next.

Who is This For?

This service is designed for organizations that need to move beyond purely Serial Digital Interface SDI/box‑based workflows:

Broadcasters and networks adding cloud playout, OTT/FAST, or remote production (REMI).
Sports rights holders and production companies that want to centralize operations and reduce truck and travel costs.
News and live event operations that need to route signals flexibly between studios, bureaus, and cloud switching.
Enterprise, corporate and public sector teams building or upgrading studios and control rooms with long‑term IP and cloud requirements.

If you’re asking “How do we connect our control rooms and studios to cloud NOC, cloud master control, and REMI workflows without breaking what we have?”, this is the service.

The Problem: Legacy Islands in an IP & Cloud World

Most existing facilities were built for SDI point‑to‑point. They work, but they weren’t designed for:

Remote operators and editors working from multiple locations.
Cloud‑based live production or “live production in the cloud”.
OTT/FAST channels and pop‑up streams running alongside linear.
Full integration with a 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) and cloud master control.

The result is a patchwork: SDI routers, ad‑hoc IP links, cloud tools in silos, and manual workarounds. Operations get brittle. DR is unclear. Every new show or channel feels like a one‑off project instead of a repeatable pattern.

You don’t need to rip everything out. You need a coherent IP and cloud workflow design that fits your existing investments and roadmap.

What BMG’s IP & Cloud Workflow Integration Delivers

We design and integrate hybrid IP and cloud workflows that connect your production environments to BMG’s cloud infrastructure and to your distribution stack. Core focus areas:

IP live production routing and fabric

Designing IP signal paths (e.g., ST 2110, NDI, SRT, RIST where appropriate) between studios, control rooms, venues, and cloud.
Integrating with existing SDI routers, multiviewers, intercom, and monitoring rather than replacing everything day one.

Cloud‑connected control rooms and “cloud production control room” designs

Architectures where switching, graphics, comms, and monitoring can be done on‑prem, in the cloud, or both.
Hybrid models where on‑site rooms connect into BMG’s Cloud NOC, Cloud Master Control & Transmissions, and REMI infrastructure.

Remote production (REMI) workflows

Optimizing REMI paths from venues and field locations into centralized or cloud‑based production environments.
Balancing latency, quality, and reliability for different event types and budget levels.

Integration with MAM, archive, and enterprise systems

Ensuring live and recorded feeds land in your Media Asset Management (MAM) environment for fast turnaround and long‑term use.
Connecting to playout, OTT/FAST, enterprise video platforms, and internal portals.

Resilience, DR, and NOC integration

Designing redundant paths, backup control options, and clear failover plans.
Connecting your IP & cloud workflows to BMG’s 24/7 Cloud Network Operations Center (NOC) for monitoring, switching support, and DR.

BMG’s Decentralized Work Flow

Typical Use Cases for IP & Cloud Workflow Integration

Connecting existing studios and control rooms to the cloud

You have working SDI‑based control rooms and studios, but need:

Cloud‑based contribution from remote guests and sites.
Centralized monitoring and switching support from a cloud NOC.
Integration with cloud master control, MAM, OTT, or FAST playout.

We design the bridges: contribution encoders, IP gateways, routing policies, and control surfaces that let you use cloud resources without losing local reliability.

REMI and centralized production

You want fewer trucks and less crew travel, but don’t want to compromise production value. BMG:

Designs REMI workflows for IP live production between venues and centralized or cloud control rooms.
Integrates comms, tally, graphics, replay, and monitoring so remote teams function like a single on‑site crew.
Ensures feeds are ingested into MAM and monitored by NOC for QA and DR.

Cloud‑based live production and pop‑up control rooms

For certain events, OTT/FAST channels, or special coverage, it makes more sense to put the control room in the cloud:

BMG helps define when cloud video production / live production in the cloud is appropriate.
Designs temporary or permanent “cloud production control room” setups with remote operators.
Connects those environments back to your facilities, playout, and archives.

IP & cloud‑ready facility upgrades

If you’re renovating or building a facility, we ensure the IP & cloud workflow layer is baked in:

IP routing and switching designs that anticipate future cloud connectivity.
Integration with Broadcast Systems Integration work on control rooms and studios.
Network, security, and DR considerations for hybrid operations.

How an IP & Cloud Workflow Engagement Typically Works

Most projects start with Systems Integration Consultation & Assessment, then move into design and implementation.

Discovery & Assessment
We document:
- Current routing, control rooms, studios, and contribution paths.
- Existing live and post workflows (including REMI, if present).
- Connectivity: on‑prem networks, fiber, public internet links, cloud usage.
- Requirements for channels, events, OTT/FAST, and enterprise video.
Output: a clear map of current state, constraints, and risks.
Architecture & Design
Based on discovery, we design:
- IP & cloud workflow topologies (signal flows, control, monitoring).
- Integration points with MAM, playout, NOC, and master control.
- Phased migration paths that avoid big‑bang cutovers.
You get architecture diagrams and implementation plans that your internal team or BMG can execute.
Implementation & Integration
Depending on scope, we:
- Configure and integrate IP gateways, encoders/decoders, and cloud links.
- Tie your facilities into BMG’s Cloud NOC, Cloud Master Control, and MAM where appropriate.
- Set up monitoring, logging, and control interfaces so operations teams have a usable, understandable environment.
We can work alongside your internal engineering team or as the primary systems integrator.
Testing, DR Exercises & Training
We don’t stop at “it passes a ping test.” We:
- Run end‑to‑end signal tests and failover scenarios.
- Validate performance for real shows and events, not just lab conditions.
- Train operations, engineering, and production teams on new workflows and runbooks.
You end up with documented workflows, not just diagrams.

How This Connects to Other BMG Services

P & Cloud Workflows is the glue between your facility and BMG’s broader services:

Broadcast Systems Integration – We can combine IP & cloud workflow design with Production Control Rooms & Audio Rooms and Studio Design & Build projects.
Broadcast Managed Services – Workflows can plug directly into:
- 24/7 Cloud Network Operations Center (NOC)
- Cloud Master Control & Transmissions
- Cloud Media Asset Management (MAM)
- Enterprise Video & Content Operations
Live Production – REMI and cloud production workflows underpin BMG’s multi‑camera, sports, corporate, and virtual productions.

The benefit: one partner that can design, integrate, and operate the workflows, not just draw diagrams and leave.

Next Steps

If you’re planning a facility upgrade, adding OTT/FAST, expanding REMI, or simply need a plan for IP & cloud integration:

Start with a Systems Integration Consultation & Assessment to define requirements and options.
Or contact us to discuss a specific IP & cloud workflow project—connecting your control rooms, studios, or venues to BMG’s cloud backbone.

You don’t need to jump straight to “everything in the cloud.” You need a practical, phased IP & cloud workflow strategy that aligns with your shows, channels, teams, and risk tolerance. BMG can help you design and implement it.
