Viaplay Expands And Rebuilds Studios In Warsaw

Swedish streaming service Viaplay has significantly expanded and rebuilt its studios in Warsaw, Poland in an ambitious modernization project which includes Lawo mc²36 and diamond mixing consoles, and RAVENNA / AES67-native IP infrastructure products.

The Viaplay media and entertainment company, headquartered in Stockholm, offers transmissions of diverse programs such as sports, comedy shows and movies. After inking a new contract with production companies Ekstraklasa Live Park and the ATM Group, and with their recent expansion of services beyond the Nordic region into the Baltics, the Netherlands, and Poland, Viaplay undertook a major technical upgrade to ensure the reliability of service demanded by simultaneous transmission of many separate sporting events.

LP Systems, Lawo's partner in Poland, were appointed to implement the audio portion of Viaplay’s studio update. "The project is designed as a fully IP-based infrastructure," said Artur Jóźwik, Sales and Support Engineer. The project's scope included two new studios with separate control rooms for audio and video, as well as twelve sports commentator booths with six separate small audio control rooms. The massive technical upgrade was performed during June and July 2022, to be ready in advance of fall sporting event coverage.
