Italy’s NVP Chooses Video Progetti and Grass Valley’s AMPP Platform for Lega Pro’s Live Football Match Productions

The shift toward flexible, software-defined production is reshaping live broadcasting. In Italy, NVP built its new Innovation Hub in Milan to support multiple simultaneous sports productions using an IP-based, cloud-enabled architecture. With major clients such as Sky Italia, RAI, Mediaset, OBS and EBU, the company needed a workflow that could be deployed quickly, reduce operational costs, and adapt to different production levels.

Challenge

NVP was tasked with producing around 1,100 Lega Pro matches in 10 months, sometimes 30 per weekend, with only 2–3 weeks to ramp up operations.

While Serie A/B productions use large OB vans and 30+ cameras, and NVP already successfully pioneered remote production for Lega B using dedicated baseband delivery lines combined with on prem Tier 1 galleries, Lega Pro required a leaner, budget-conscious workflow that still delivered broadcast-grade results. NVP needed a flexible production model capable of handling both premium and high-volume events without overstretching resources or infrastructure.

Solution

To meet these needs, Video Progetti designed and deployed a hybrid production architecture combining traditional broadcast hardware with Grass Valley AMPPcloud-native remote production.
A SMPTE ST 2110 IP backbone powers the Innovation Hub for high-end productions (Serie A/B) using Grass Valley LDX cameras, Kahuna switchers, Sirius routers and Kaleido multiviewers.
For Lega Pro, Video Progetti implemented Grass Valley AMPP, enabling remote galleries where a single operator manages video switching, audio mixing, replay and graphics through AMPP Live Producer Pro, a Streamdeck panel and an HTML5 graphics platform.
Camera feeds arrive via SRT into AWS-hosted AMPP, with NDI used inside the facility for cost-effective internal routing.
AMPP’s elastic cloud model reduces costs by running compute resources only during live events.

This hybrid solution gives NVP the “right-sized” workflow for each production tier.

The AMPP-based remote workflow designed by Video Progetti and NVP now enables NVP to handle multiple matches in parallel, optimize staffing, and reduce logistics compared to OB-truck deployments.
High-tier productions maintain premium hardware and full crews, using a remote production model using dedicated signal delivery lines, while lower-tier events rely on scalable cloud processing with minimal on-site equipment.
The model has proven so effective that NVP plans to extend the Innovation Hub concept to other Italian cities and expand its facilities further — confirming Video Progetti and Grass Valley as key enablers of next-generation remote production in Italy.

Teleippica – 27/4 Horse Racing Channel

REMOTE PRODUCTION

Video Progetti completely renewed Teleippica’s broadcast system, creating new studios, control rooms, and a disaster recovery center to ensure continuous coverage of horse racing events.

Teleippica, a subsidiary of the largest Italian betting network (SNAI), prepares and delivers thousands of media contents concerning horse-races and related betting every year.

Teleippica is on air 24/7 with massive live contents delivered every day. They broadcast 22,000 horse races through satellite and stream over the internet every year. In addition Teleippica produces several TV shows and newscasts where main trends in the horse racing and and betting world are narrated. Finally, using their radio channel, they transmit live updates on the latest betting odds and news.

Teleippica is based in Porcari (Lucca) and Rome. In both these locations there is a teleport and a production centre from where live signals from dozens of racetracks are received, processed and delivered through five TV channels to authorized betting centres and in-home set-top-boxes. Newscasts, TV shows and the radio channel are also produced in Rome and Porcari.

Challenge

Teleippica needed to modernise its entire broadcast infrastructure to be able to receive, process, record and play back contemporary events and to deliver to viewers live contents received from 44 racetracks spread all over Italy. Moreover, they needed to refurbish the facilities where newscasts, TV shows and radio broadcasts are produced. The new infrastructure had to guarantee five nines availability and so needed the most modern, resilient and redundant broadcast equipment.

All these changes had to be effected while the five channels were on-air, live productions were taking place and in short, the entire legacy infrastructure was running. This aspect represented an extremely challenging activity from project management, implementation, testing and commissioning points of view. Video Progetti system team had to accurately plan each phase of the project and implement it in the fastest and most efficient way so that daily operations were not compromised.

The Ultima TV editor strongly believes in the economics behind high quality local news and decided to create a top-class broadcast infrastructure able to deliver high quality media contents through DTT and Internet.

Video Progetti, after analysing this customer’s needs, accepted the challenge with enthusiasm and provided an efficient and cost effective broadcast quality system able to satisfy all the high demanding customer requests.

Solution

To satisfy our customer’s requests Video Progetti system team designed a main infrastructure assembled in Porcari and a disaster recovery (DR) facility developed in Rome. These two broadcast centres guarantee the high resiliency which was requested for broadcasting thousands of live events safely each year.

In Porcari we built seven production control rooms (PCRs), two TV studios and the entire networking and monitoring infrastructure.

Rome represents the DR from where all the signals received in the Porcari facility can be handled and most of the main operations repeated. Both in Rome and Porcari a teleport is present and the broadcasting of the five channels can be handled from either facility. All the incoming signals are recorded and handled through the entire productivity chain using the powerful Mantrics Workflow Manager, a software developed by Video Progetti, leveraging our solid and wide spread knowledge of entire media content preparation processes.

The implementation phase was based on extensive project management and planning activities. The team pre-cabled the entire new facility during the daylight hours and installed it during the nights. In this way regular broadcast operations could go ahead without hindrance and the new infrastructure was up and running within the planned time frame. After installation, our qualified technical department tested the entire infrastructure. Moreover, Video Progetti product specialists trained and provided daily operational support to Teleippica operators during the first months of production.

Today Teleippica is the main Italian media hub related to horse races and associated betting. Its top-class broadcast infrastructure, which is under Video Progetti maintenance contract, allows them to prepare and deliver high quality contents through satellite and the Internet. Video Progetti is constantly in touch with this customer to suggest cutting-edge technologies and procedures that can further optimize its workflows.
