Live production has always been a high-performance endeavor — but the role of engineering is evolving. In his keynote speech, Dan Murphy, Vice President of NEP Platform, explores how modern broadcast infrastructures are transforming engineering into a true team sport.

No longer just about hardware and signals, the future of production facilities is fueled by orchestration, automation, and collaboration. Join us as Dan shares technical innovations across large-scale SMPTE 2110 environments that enable agile, secure, and scalable production — from centralised datacenters, to mobile units, flypacks, and cloud-based workflows.

Drawing on his experience developing TFC, NEP’s broadcast orchestration platform, Dan will give insight into emerging software workflows that are reshaping the way we design, operate, and scale to meet the demands of a rapidly changing industry. This session will show how building software-defined facilities empowers engineering teams to redefine the future playbook for media technology and deliver reliable, world-class productions for global sports leagues and live events.
