Big Ten Conference Replay Center, Rosemount, IL
TBC is proud to have played a role in the development of the B1G replay center, a space that showcases a high level of technological advancement. With 18 dedicated user terminals staffed by collaborative replay officials, these terminals feature TBC’s linear fixed-height FITT consoles and utilize large-format touchscreens to leverage 10 camera angles to inform decision-making. The desk’s rear Trac incorporates a tally light to alert the replay supervisor for specific calls, which are then patched through directly to the onsite referee for review and final decision-making. Replay supervisors operate from their SmartTrac workstations in the elevated area but can freely roam the room, equipped with everything needed to connect to a specific game’s replay terminal at the push of a button.

Black Rock Mine Operation, South Africa
TBC continues its collaboration with longstanding partners Oculus and VuWall for an outstanding project for Black Rock Mine Operation, located in the Northern Cape region of South Africa.
The facility utilizes our longest continuous SmartTrac operator consoles and the largest SDVoE AV-over-IP video wall installation in an industrial setting to date.
Black Rock Mine Operations (BRMO) is a major manganese and iron ore mine operating in the Kalahari Desert. With three separate shafts producing 3.6 million tons of ore annually, BRMO faced challenges due to decentralized operations. To address this, BRMO collaborated with Jaco van Heerden and Oculus Operational Innovations to create the Integrated Remote Operations Centre (iRoc), a centralized control room solution.
iRoc, featuring a horseshoe-shaped videowall with 21 operator stations, utilizes 84 49-inch Prospectre screens for the main display and 84 24-inch screens for individual operator displays. Powered by VuWall’s TRx central management platform, the system integrates AV-over-IP distribution, multivideo wall control, and KVM management. The implementation of iRoc, along with VuStream 510 appliances, has significantly improved BRMO’s operational efficiency. Centralizing operations provided a comprehensive view of the entire value chain, enabling proactive decision-making.
Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, Atlanta GA.
TBC teams up with Warner Bros. Discovery again to deploy season-long remote graphics integration from its facility in Atlanta.
“Similar to what we did for baseball during the regular season this year,” says Chris Brown, VP, technical operations, WBD Sports, “we’re implementing remote graphics for all of our regular-season NHL games. This is something that we began during the pandemic, and we’re now looking to expand it.”
Organizationally, the team at WBD Sports will deploy the same operation on all its marquee properties, including the upcoming start to the 2023-24 NBA season. Spearheaded by Director, Technical Operations, Lee Estroff and the rest of the technical-operations team, the workflow was tested during the offseason, allowing the team to become familiar with the new implementation.
“This is a seismic shift for us at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports,” notes Brown. “When we start the season, we’ll have some reps under our belt on the remote-production workflow as well as the new elements from TV Graphics.”
A brand-new workspace was constructed in Atlanta for the new NHL remote-graphics workflow.
WBD Sports tapped TV Graphics for on-screen elements.
Empower Field at Mile High, Denver CO
TBC takes pride in its involvement with the 1080p HDR-capable control room at Empower Field at Mile High.
The new ownership of the Denver Broncos is making a significant investment in the franchise, particularly with technological upgrades at Empower Field at Mile High.
“With new ownership, a new coach, and new expectations, there’s a lot of excitement around,” says Denver Broncos Director, Broadcast and Technical Operations Manager, Pat Jordan, adding, “This is only the beginning.”
“One of the exciting things about being with the organization for a long time,” he says, “is that this is the third control room and third round of LED displays that I’ve seen. It has been awesome to see how our fans have evolved with those technologies, and the energy we’ve seen in the first two games has been at a very high level.”
With a new tech foundation in place, the skies are the limit in Denver. Jordan sees the commitment to enhanced game-day productions, as well as the new ownership’s goal of improving the team’s play on the field, as portending a new age of Broncos football.
