From small-scale regional broadcasts to global multifeed productions, production teams need adaptable, scalable solutions. The ADDERLink INFINITY range can function as a simple point-to-point extender or expand into a full high-performance matrix system over an IP network, allowing organizations to scale operations as needed.
This adaptability has been proven at major sports events, where rapid deployment and seamless system access were key to delivering world-class coverage. The ability to connect operators across multiple locations and provide real-time system control ensures that production teams can react instantly to every moment of the action.
For remote access in production workflows, Adder introducing ARDx next-gen remote-access technology. Whether in an onsite control room, a remote broadcast hub, or a distributed production team, operators can instantly switch among replay servers, graphics engines, and camera feeds without latency or disruption.
