A Look Around ESPN’s 3D Master Control Room
I think you all know I’m not a huge fan of 3D, but seeing something like this is still pretty cool. Being able to see ANY control room is pretty sweet, let alone the first 3D sports room ever. But okay, as long as I’m "enjoying" the Uruguay-France game on my small laptop screen, maybe I’m jealous of you 3D owners who happen to be at home!
Amazingly enough, the room pictured in the gallery below didn’t exist six weeks ago, and in an insanely short period of time ESPN has managed to create a control room that sucks feeds in from all over the world, adds graphics (along with a specialized ESPN 3D "bug"), ensures that everything is aligned properly and then pipes it out to the aforesaid carriers.
