Far beyond a routine press opportunity, the 2024 MLB All-Star Game Media Day at Globe Life Field served as a catalyst for fan engagement and media momentum ahead of the Midsummer Classic. For the past 4 years, MLB Network has entrusted Thunder City Pro in partnership with Admiral Video with this important moment in sports media. The experts at Thunder City Pro and Admiral Video delivered a fully integrated, multi-channel interview solution that enabled real-time conversations with pros like Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Pete Alonso. This immersive and accessible experience energized fans and media alike, playing a pivotal role in driving anticipation for the main event—which once again claimed the title of the most-watched All-Star broadcast in professional sports with approximately 7.6 million viewers total.
To meet the demands of concurrent, high-fidelity interview coverage, Thunder City Pro engineered a fully modular, ten-station broadcast system built on principles of signal isolation, scalability, and low-latency delivery. Each station operated as an autonomous production node, outfitted with a gooseneck-mounted HD camera for adjustable framing and a three-microphone array designed to capture player, interviewer, and ambient audio with precision and redundancy.
Each station maintained a fully discrete audio-video path, ensuring clean, synchronized delivery to MLB Network's master control.
Once ingested, the feeds were managed in real time — enabling ISO recording, dynamic switching, and viewer-selectable interview streams. This compartmentalized, resilient architecture set a new benchmark in multi-source media capture, offering a scalable and fail-safe solution for live sports broadcasting at the highest level.

Inside the project
Working with Admiral Video, TCP supported the 2024 MLB All-Star Media Day with ten modular interview stations at Globe Life Field. Each station had its own camera and audio path. The listed configuration includes ten unique 1080P transmission paths, redundant Dante networks and fiber video transport with CCU and paint control.
Identify what each station must capture and where its feed will go. Consider audio isolation, camera control, monitoring and shared network dependencies. The operating plan should make it clear which connections are independent and which infrastructure supports the whole event.
