Venue production for the board, the broadcast and the stream.
Camera positions, switching, replay, graphics, intercom and the fiber underneath, designed, integrated and supported by Varto for teams, athletics departments and venues.
A control room for Seton Hall University Athletics, and more game days.
The Seton Hall control room on game day: switching and replay side by side.
- Seton Hall University Athletics · Mike Sheppard Sr. Stadium, South Orange, NJVarto built a multi-camera control room for baseball and soccer around seven-plus camera positions, TriCaster switching, 3Play 3P1 replay and a live scorebug. Varto designed, integrated and commissioned the room, and trained the program's own staff to run it.
Other athletics work
- A Division I athletics programTriCasters and 3Plays built into a Bigfoot double-rack cart: a control room that moves between venues.
- College athletics departmentsReplay and sports-graphics packages on 3Play and Viz Trio, and TriCaster fleets.
- Away games and eventsBonded-cellular field kits for football games away from the home production room, and a 3Play 3P2 rental for Fanatics Fest Games 2026.
One production, three or four destinations.
The path is planned from the outputs back: a board feed needs its own graphics and timing, a conference or network feed has a spec, and the stream carries the score bug and commentary.
Positions
- Cameras: operated, robotic and point of view
- Announcers and officials
- Fiber or SDI back to the control room
The core

Where it goes

- Stream: score bug and commentary
- Conference or network feed to its spec
- Clips for social and the archive
Also quoted with the system: fiber and cable, racks and power, and the configuration, commissioning, documentation and crew training.

The switcher, chosen by the show and the board.
A stream, a videoboard show and a conference feed put different loads on the switcher.
Production switching for venues
Replay with its own operator, graphics that read the score.
A dedicated replay operator points to 3Play Vivid; a small crew can start with the Resolve Replay Editor. Graphics follow where the score comes from.

Fiber and network first, when the venue needs it.
Sometimes the venue backbone is the first phase: positions reached on fiber, so production plugs in instead of running cable for every game.

Season deadlines, phased budgets.
Budgets and phasing
Athletics budgets, capital projects, donor and sponsor funding and conference requirements, on seasonal deadlines. When the budget comes in phases, we set the order with you and size each phase for the next.
Trading up
Already running a 3P1 or 3P2? Vizrt no longer sells them new; systems in service keep working, with support and parts depending on each model's lifecycle. Vizrt offers trade-in credit on eligible TriCaster and 3Play systems and control panels; we confirm what applies to the system you run.
Through the season
Support through the season: per-incident help on game week, a Varto OnAir plan for the systems that run every home game, or Professional Services Blocks for off-season changes and crew training. Coverage is confirmed for your equipment.
Eligible Vizrt hardware, TriCaster and 3Play included, is repaired on Varto's own bench, a Vizrt Authorized Repair Center.
When the season cannot wait
TriCaster and 3Play rental kits from Varto's own fleet, subject to fleet availability, with operators optional. The fleet is the previous generation, including 3Play 3P1 and 3P2 kits.
